Golden State will head into a must-win Game 6 on Friday still uncertain about the franchise's future with the general manager who helped shape a Warriors dynasty.

Bob Myers, whose contract expires in July, said Thursday he would wait to make a decision regarding an extension.

"What I would tell (fans), and they won't like the answer, is it's not a focus on me, it's a focus on the team to keep this thing going," Bob Myers said on 95.7 The Game (h/t the San Francisco Chronicle.) "There will be a time when the season is over to think about that, to process that and see how it unfolds and how I feel. The fans and the media, they're allowed to kind of look ahead while the series is going on. There will be a time for those answers.

"But as we sit here now with a game (Friday) night, I don't think about that and what that is and what the answer to that is because I don't have to right now. I want to give everything I have to the team and the season. Somebody smarter a long time ago gave me advice: Don't make a decision until you have to."

The Warriors tip off Game 6 in Los Angeles at 10 p.m. ET. The Lakers lead the series 3-2.

Myers was promoted to the position of general manager in April 2012 after he served as assistant GM, his first NBA executive position, for just one year.

That lack of executive experience didn't appear to matter for the former player agent. In 11 postseasons since Myers took the helm, Golden State has made nine playoff appearances and won four championships.

Now, Myers could be looking to use that success to become one of the best-paid executives in the league, The Athletic reported in January.

Although Myers has mostly declined to speak publicly on his expiring contract, sources told The Athletic that he believes he should be one of the highest-paid front-office members, if not the highest-paid, in the NBA.

Warriors governor Joe Lacob told The Athletic's Tim Kawakami (h/t Sports Illustrated) in January that the Warriors had so far extended two offers to Myers, and that he is currently among the three highest-paid NBA general managers. Sources of The Athletic estimated his salary as between sixth- and eighth-highest in the league.

Myers' decision could impact other parts of the Warriors roster this summer. Golden State stars Steph Curry and Draymond Green have both shared effusive praise for Myers. The team's ability to keep him could impact contract extension talks with Green, whom the Warriors reportedly hope to retain next season.

For now, however, Myers, Green, Curry and the rest of the Warriors will concentrate on keeping their championship defense hopes alive with a victory Friday.
