OAKLAND – Bob Myers kept shaking his head. The Warriors’ general manager not only struggled to process debilitating injuries to Kevin Durant and Klay Thompson. Or that the Warriors lost in the NBA Finals to the Toronto Raptors. Myers could not believe the NBA draft starts on Thursday.
Then, the Warriors will have limited options on how to upgrade their roster. For the second consecutive year, they will have a No. 28 pick. They will also pick at No. 58. Given the Warriors’ limited purchasing power in free agency, expect majority owner Joe Lacob to approve the team to buy a pick if it becomes available.
