Warriors GM: We're 'Super Aggressive' Despite No Trades
12 Aug
Summary
- GM Dunleavy Jr. claims Warriors are 'super aggressive' in the offseason.
- The Warriors reportedly showed interest in players who were not traded.
- A more pragmatic trade approach is needed for future team success.
Golden State Warriors General Manager Mike Dunleavy Jr. defended the team's lack of offseason acquisitions, describing their approach as "super aggressive." He stated that the team made numerous inquiries about players, even if those players ultimately remained with their current teams. Dunleavy implied that the Warriors' interest extended to players like Trey Murphy III, for whom they reportedly offered two first-round picks and salary filler, but the Pelicans sought more.
The article contrasts Dunleavy's definition of "super aggressive," which may involve lowball offers or inquiries about unavailable stars, with a more effective, pragmatic strategy. It suggests that true aggression involves identifying key targets, understanding their price, and executing a deal.
This proactive approach is deemed necessary for the Warriors to remain competitive as 38-year-old superstar Stephen Curry continues to play.
