Warriors GM: Roster not the main issue
20 May
Summary
- GM Mike Dunleavy cited injuries, not talent, for team's struggles.
- Warriors prioritize controllable factors over immediate roster changes.
- Team to focus on draft pick and marginal improvements.
Golden State Warriors General Manager Mike Dunleavy emphasized that the team's recent performance issues stemmed from injuries and controllable factors, rather than inherent roster deficiencies. He indicated that major roster changes are not the primary focus for the upcoming season.
Dunleavy suggested that improvements would likely be marginal, with an emphasis on aspects within the team's control. The strategy will involve assessing the team's approach to the upcoming draft and making subtle adjustments.
Player futures are being evaluated, with key figures like Stephen Curry and Andrew Wiggins expected to return. However, decisions loom for others, including Draymond Green's player option and the potential return of veterans like Al Horford and Kristaps Porziņģis, whose availability was impacted by injuries.
The Warriors are navigating these decisions while acknowledging the team is no longer in a clear championship contention window, influencing the choices for veteran players seeking to win.
