0:00 MIKE DUNLEAVY, JR. EXIT INTERVIEW: “ Let me start by saying, I actually want to thank you guys for the year for covering the team and the whole thing. It's been a long year for everybody. A lot of ups and downs and you guys deal with a lot as we do. So thank you guys for a season that unfortunately for us, we feel like ended too soon, disappointed in our year, even though we finished with more wins than last year, I though we came up way short in terms of what we thought talent-wise, experience-wise, all those things that an ownership group, front office, coaches, players all signed off on the roster to start the season. And we just got ourselves too far behind the eight-ball, frankly, as the season went along and chased it down at the end and it was just too little too late in a tough Western Conference. So, a lot to figure out, lots of improve on, but disappointed to be here today, frankly.”
0:53 So Steph and Draymond and Steve have been vocal about wanting to bring Klay back, wanting to keep that backcourt together. How possible is it for you to build a championship team around them if they do stay intact?
“Well, considering they won four before, I would say it's well within the realm of reasonability. But certainly we want Klay back, first and foremost. I expressed that to him yesterday. I think our players have expressed that, our coaches, front office, ownership. Look, everybody wants Klay back. He's still a really good player and I think we have enough good players on our team. In our system, we have enough assets to acquire good players and we have the ability to keep getting better. So given that as long as those guys are still really good, like, yeah, I think we can contend and compete, but we just unequivocally have to improve.”
1:50 How much will financials come into play this summer and how reasonable is it to improve the roster, make the moves you want? Do you guys want to duck the luxury tax entirely?
“The financials always come into it. It's part of the puzzle. I wouldn't say we're at a point now where we're saying we’ve got to be out of the tax or we got to be under a certain apron or anything like that. We're gonna look at everything. I think if you've got a team that you feel can contend for a championship, you do what it takes financially. So, we'll look at everything. We'll balance it out. And it's hard to say right now in terms of, like, what it's gonna look like and all that because this is April. This stuff goes into June and July But you know how Joe is with his willingness to spend and compete, that I don't think there'll be any restrictions. But we'll also be prudent. I mean, to put a team out there that can't make the playoffs, like we spent 400 million dollars this year I wouldn't recommend that. So we'll figure it out, but I don't think we have anything set in stone in terms of parameters we’ve got to live by.”
2:55 Do you feel - you mentioned expressing to Klay that you want them back yesterday - do you feel like that's likely, do you feel like reciprocal, or do you think this is going to be like potentially a thorny negotiation?
“No, I think it's a mutual feeling. I mean, the guy's been here a long time. He means so much to the organization. We really, really value him. And so there's nothing that would make me think that he wants to go somewhere else or we don't want him back. And for that reason, I'm hopeful we can make it happen. But it's a deal. Both sides got to be good with it. And we'll work through that. But I am hopeful and optimistic about it.”
3:34 Mike, this season was kind of the microcosm of the Draymond Green experience. Can't live with him at times, you can't win without him. What is your feeling of certainty that he's part of this going forward, and how do you navigate that if he's sometimes just not available to you?
“Yeah, in terms of having him back, I think very, very high likelihood. I can't imagine a scenario where he's not back. Could be wrong, but he's signed up under contract. We value him. He's a core piece of what we do. So, fully expect him to be back. I think we went over 60 percent of the games he played in this year. So you know how meaningful he is to winning and he'll continue to do so. As far as the other stuff, part of it is managing him, Steph and Klay as they age. These are long seasons. These guys have been through a lot, so we've got to manage the emotional, the mental, the physical stress and fatigue these guys take on, and that will be a part of the process moving forward. But I think Draymond, I think he's in a great place mentally. Just evaluating and observing him over the season after the suspension, I think he's learned from it. I think he's better and we'll continue to work on that stuff and and have it on top of mind. But we're in a really good place with him and excited to have him back.”
5:00 How would you assess this season for Jonathan? And then being that he's extension-eligible this summer, how do you see his future here in Golden State?
“Yeah, I think really good growth out of JK. Frankly, put a ton of time in this office this past offseason, came in, had a great preseason and got off to a little bit of a slow start, but found his way and had a stretch there in the middle of the season that was not only one of the best players in our team, but in the league. And that's where we see the potential with him. And like, with him and our other young guys, vitally important that these guys take another step because, that's how we're going to balance this thing out with our more mature legacy players with a younger core of group that can push us forward and help us win. And like Moses, JK, those guys are extension-eligible. We'll get down the road with that. But unequivocally, we value them. We want them here. So we'll see. We'll see how that goes.”
5:54 Mike, earlier you said you have the assets to acquire good players, and Joe's never been afraid to take big swings, whether from Durant to reports of the inquiry in LeBron, whatever. I realize you can't talk about specific players, but how realistic, given the position you're in, given your roster, how realistic is it to take a big swing, to add a marquee player?
“Yeah, I mean, I think the premise of getting better, that's what we’ve got to look at for sure. So that will be taken into consideration. We’ve also got to be mindful of the player, who it is, the age of the player, the skill set of the player. It's all got to fit to be able to put the chips on the table to make a move. So those are the things we'll kind of look at and evaluate. But yeah, there's multiple ways to get better, and that's certainly one of them.”
6:43 Moses has had a kind of a, you know, strange first few years from a rotation standpoint. Every time it looks like he's broken through, DNPs as he enters Year Four as you rebuild the roster this summer. I mean, is there a desire to kind of clear the path for him a little bit, from a rotation standpoint or figure out his future, get it more settled than it has been?
“Yeah. I mean, I think the good and bad of the situation with Moses is first, he's improved. He's gotten a lot better and on top of it, I think any issues with him playing, frankly, are a result of our depth, which is also a good thing. But in the end, you're right. He hasn't probably played as much as we like, and there hasn't been a clear enough path. So that'll be something we'll look at. I think it's really important coming into Year Four for him that there is some reasonable playing time available for him where he can impact our team and be out there and continue to improve. And I think that's a fair thing.”
7:38 Mike, you've seen 83 games now, knowing what you lack, knowing how the West has stacked up in hindsight. Could you have improved this team at the deadline? Was there something that was out there that might have helped, looking back on it?
“I think knowing what I know now, there's not anything on the table that I would have done, or gone through with. I think it was good to see this team out. I think one of the best things about this year, frankly, is there are no catastrophic injuries. There's no, ‘Hey, Steph only played 40 games. What would this team be like without him, things like that.’ We know clearly what this team was. It wasn't good enough. And so there's no doubt about that. There's no what-ifs. If we would have made a move in the deadline, well, maybe that wasn't the right move. What if we kept this guy or that guy? We answered all those questions, and so now we can move forward with clarity. But going back on it now, I feel good about this team. We really put a lot into it before the season started and a lot of thought. I thought it could play multiple ways, pretty versatile, defensively, offensively. Do we do those throughout the year? No, but to be able to see that out after the deadline, I thought was important. That's where I get the feedback I got, from the players, the coaching staff and frankly, we were 27-12, the last half of the season. So I'm good with how we went after the deadline. Just don't like maybe the earlier part of the season that got us too far behind that we couldn't make up.”
[👇continued in Reply Comment below👇]
9:05 Mike, following up on that, then moving into this offseason, what do you think your biggest roster needs are? What did you guys really lack this season?
“Yeah, I mean, look, it's like I said, we gotta get better in a lot of areas, but the ones that I think immediately jump off the page is, defensively we gotta be better. This is an organization, a team that when we've been really good and won championships, it's been mostly with defense. And then you’ve got some great exciting offensive moments that everybody thinks about, but it's really the defense that has been the core of the thing. So, improving defensively within, getting better defensive players. And then from there, I think as Steph and Draymond and Klay, those guys, kind of age, shooting is important. Shooting is important in this league. It's important to have guys that can shoot around them. So I think addressing that will always be a thing. But I think there's a - and then, honestly, size. Size and not necessarily at the center position, but positional size across the board, which has been a strong point of the teams here. Whether it's shooting guards, wings, small forwards, whatever it is, always had good size and length. So we like to always keep that in mind and address that. But those are probably the biggest areas that I'm thinking about right now.”
10:18 And you mentioned shooting. How much this season - there wasn't like a consistent secondary scorer that you could consistently rely on. Do you think that was an issue kind of throughout the year?
“Yeah, sure. I think so. I think a lot of it fell on Steph's shoulders. I think he would probably tell you that and you could notice it and the wear it took on him. In fact, really with some of his decision-making at times, too. And it's just a lot for him to burden. And we've got to find a way to help him out on that. And frankly, I think we've got some talent on the roster that can do that and maybe we’ve got to just be a little bit better about bringing that out. And so maybe there's some improvements from externally, but I think we have some ways internally to do that.”
10:59 Mike, after one year in this job, what's something you wish you knew last year that you'll take into next year?
“Oh boy, great question. I think with this thing, as the season goes along, you put together the best roster you can, you try and manage it, you go through it and then you just find yourself just sitting there, observing, feeling like a fan. And there's times where just not much you can do, good or bad. But honestly, I've worked here for a few years and it's not like a surprise. I don't think there's anything that surprised me where there's some things that were completely off the radar that happened between, maybe Draymond's suspension or what happened with Deki, those types of things. Yeah. Hopefully those things don't ever happen again. But there were learning moments and situations that we probably weren't expecting.”
11:56 What kind of presence in your mind is the managing of hese extra years, these maybe the end years of a dynasty? How much are you thinking, ‘Okay, let's just maintain these guys.’ And as Draymond said, do right by them for what they've done. And how much is it, ‘You know what, at some point you're going to need a roster that is past those guys’? Maybe not for a while, but how much of a weight is that? How much of a responsibility is that for you?
“Yeah. I mean, I think it's certainly a responsibility just because this team and organization means so much to the Bay Area. So you can feel what it means to the fans and even the people within the organization, the players, but it's kind of a cool opportunity. Normally you're trying to build a team from the startup and there's an ascension and all this. This is a little bit different. And so I relish the challenge, and by the way, those guys are aging out, like, it's Steph Curry. It's Draymond Green. It's Klay Thompson, like those guys are great guys to go out with. And they're really still good at basketball. So I think it's a manageable thing. Is it challenging? Yes. But I do relish it because it's unique and I think it's somewhat doable, so we'll see what happens.”
13:11 Mike, you touched on Deki and that was actually on my mind as to just how Steve and your coaching staff and support staff navigated that, the unthinkable for everybody. And Steve also tried so many different rotations this season and starting lineups and got Trayce such good experience. I mean, how did he navigate that with support from everybody else too?
“Yeah, I mean, Steve's masterful at that stuff. The Deki thing was new for everybody, so I can't say he was quite very experienced with that, but he handled it masterfully. It's a lot. An NBA season is a lot to navigate, and I think coming into it, the biggest thing our group wanted to push and focus on was our connectivity. And frankly, I thought we were great in that area. That showed up with the stuff with Deki, the stuff with Draymond, some just unthinkable losses that we had on the court with blowing big leads or having games in-hand that we gave up. This group never wavered. They stuck together, I just thought. But in the end, we came up short, like from a basketball standpoint, too many mistakes, just not enough discipline, the small things, getting back on defense, not turning the ball over, not fouling. Those things did us in and we're sitting here today with the season ended because of it.”
14:29 Steve said something the other night that kind of stuck out. He said that he needs to be better specifically talking about the offense, getting the offense into more rhythm and more flow. So, how do you think he was, over the course of this season? Obviously, off-the-court stuff was one thing, but on-the-court, how do you think that went?
“Yeah, I think it went well. I mean, hopefully that shows in the contract extension we gave him. And I think if there's anything I look back on and think about in question is, I think we built this team with a lot of depth in mind because some of our players on the roster are older, we've had some injuries. So you want to be able to survive those types of things. And frankly, we had great health this year and because of it, it kind of created a log jam with minutes and rotations. And maybe that made it difficult on Steve and the coaching staff at times. But I have to look back at it. Evaluate it. Not sure that the answer is to go the other way and have more of a pecking order and less depth because if you get hurt, you're in trouble. But I thought overall, Steve had another really good year. But I think we've almost in some ways - not to take away from the basketball part - but we value him and the way he can manage a team throughout the season, hold a team together. I mean, man, we had some tough stuff go on. And, like I said, this group never wavered.”
15:40 When you talk about what you just said, this team never wavered. They were healthy all season long, and you mentioned size is needed. And you said not necessarily at the center position. When you're going up against guys like Sabonis, AD, Jokic, and the Western Conference, is size inside at the center position not a remedy for the troubles defensively that you kind of mentioned there? And I have a follow up after.
“Yeah. I mean, look, that helps if you have the type of size that can combat those specific players who are like All-NBA Hall-of Fame players. To me, the worst thing you can do is try and just bring in a tall guy and say, ‘Hey, go guard Jokic.’ And that's not the answer. So we try to beat it with speed, with quickness, with smarts, those types of things. It's been pretty successful here. But overall, like, yeah, if we can find somebody that's 7’3 and highly skilled and can play both ends of the floor, sign me up. But those guys aren't really growing on trees.”
16:39 That is true. To follow up, being that the league is getting younger and obviously guys like JK really helped you guys to speed up the game, is there any emphasis on getting some more athleticism, younger, quicker guys to help to build around?
“Yeah, for sure. I think this modern NBA, the game is played so fast and we’ve got to be able to play that way. We struggled this year in transition, both ways defensively. Couldn't get back, which is a speed, athleticism, effort thing. And then going the other way, we didn't create a lot of turnovers and we're unable to get out in transition and use our athleticism with Wiggs and JK, GP, those guys. So we;ve got to solve that. We’ve got to be better both ways in transition. And we'll look to do that. Like I said before, not only free agency and draft and trades, but can our guys that we have now be better at that? And I think it's doable.”
17:35 Just overall, assessing the landscape of the West, how close do you feel like you guys are to closing that gap with some of the top teams?
“Yeah, I mean, we’ve still got really good players. We've got good young players. For me, we're closer to the top than we are the bottom, even though we finished 10th in the standings. That's kind of the way I see it. But that look that can change next year will be tough. The teams that didn't make the playoffs this year, you're looking at the outside-in with Houston, Memphis, San Antonio. I don't see a way for those teams to get worse. They're only gonna get better. So this is a tough conference, and this is why we’ve got to improve. We’ve got to get a lot better, too.”
[👇continued in Reply Comment below👇]
18:14 Mike, Moses obviously made significant steps of progress this year, but you also got big contributions from Brandin and Trayce overall. How encouraged are you by that young core that you have on the roster?
“Yeah, I think we're excited about it, to have four young players that we think can really play. A little of it now is finding how it all works together and getting them the appropriate time and making sure that they can properly impact winning, but I feel a lot better about that group and just our overall direction of the team sitting here today than I did a year ago. And a lot of that's frankly because of having Brandin and Trayce, a couple more players that makes sense.”
18:56 When you talk about developing a better roster and being better than this year, what does that necessarily entail? Do you start looking at the playoffs now? Do you go back and look at games that you feel like other teams competed in better? When you talk about center, obviously Kevon lost minutes and lost kind of like his motivation there a little bit. And when you're looking at new talent and you're talking to Joe, at what point are you like, this is kind of most important, ‘let's work on this first and then get to everything else later’?
“Yeah, I think that's kind of what we're going through now. postmortem on the season, evaluating everything and really identifying the areas that we have to be better in. And then how can we get better? Is that working with our current players or is it something that we need from the outside? And so kind of taking all those things into account and evaluate, making the decisions. That's the way that we look at it.”
19:53 How would you assess your ability to make whatever tough decision you have to make, coming up? Is this difficult for you? Do you feel like you’re decades in the NBA and around NBA life make it a little bit easier to pull the trigger on something that is probably going to be difficult to do?
“Yeah, I mean, I think I probably operate off the saying, ‘There's never a bad time to make a good decision.’ So, doesn't mean it's not tough and you stir over it. But I get my job is to have the best interest of this franchise in the direction of this franchise when I make a decision or we make a decision. So, that's what I'm going to do.”
20:40 Chris has a very flexible contract situation. And you guys have also expressed maybe wanting him back. How do you view his future? And then just how do the financials of it all kind of complicate that?
“Yeah, I mean, I think overall, I was really pleased with Chris having him on this team this year, what he gave us in the locker room, on the court, off the court. I think admittedly he probably wished he had a larger role and could help the team a little bit more. But I think moving forward, because of his production - and the guy can still do it - and what he means to winning and all that stuff, we certainly have interest in bringing him back. But like the puzzle stuff, we’ve got to look at and figure out and see. And there's definitely a viable path to do that. But we're not really down the road yet of, like, specifically what we can and can't do.”
21:33 Mike, you referenced being closer to the top than the bottom of the West, and certainly that makes sense when you look at the second half, 27-12. It doesn't make sense when you look at the other night, right? As Steve said, you guys are kind of overwhelmed physically. Was that sort of jarring to see, not just that you lost, but the way you lost and how does that sort of color your view going into the off season?
“Yeah, honestly, not a lot. I don't take that game into consideration too much. It was just, that was the worst game we played all year. Give credit to Sacramento. They did a great job, but I watched this team for 82 games. I mean, the amount of times that we've been ran off the court, very few. I think there were a couple of home games in January. Obviously the Boston game where that was a different scenario. But that was a game the other night where you’ve got to be careful of overreacting to how it went. I don't think that represented our team on the whole for the season. But that being said, it kind of put the stamp on what the reality of this year was. So, here we are. And I would say going into that game, whether it win or lose, no matter how it happened, I knew we had to get better.”
22:45 Steve said the other morning, early this season, actually, that they needed to really kind of get the best out of the athletic guys like Wiggins and JK and Gary. And obviously, Wiggins missed a few games and JK came along. Gary missed a bunch of games here and there. How do you look at especially Gary and Wiggins and what they can give you going forward, given the situation that they're in?
“Yeah, I mean, I think those are the type of players you need on both ends that can defend. They can do stuff offensively, they can finish at the rim, they have the athleticism. So, we need those types of guys and we need them to bring the most out of their talent. That's really important. And I thought there were times this year where, yeah, they struggled individually. But I think it is like a two-way street where we’ve got to be better at helping them. And I think those are guys that if we talk about helping Steph and taking a load off him, those are guys moving forward that can do that offensively. And we've got to find ways to do that.”
23:44 We didn't get to talk to Steph yesterday, but what was your message to him in the end-of-season exit interview? And what did he want to get across to you?
“I don't think there was any two-way messaging. It was just a discussion dialogue of how the season went, what we need to do to get better, where he's at. Hearing from him after 83 games and being 36 years old, where he's at. And I think he's in a really good place. And I think he's a player we will continue to lean on, both of his leadership and in his play. And man, that guy's as resilient as they come. My biggest thing was, ‘I'm disappointed for you for Draymond, our veteran guys as well as our younger guys that you won't be able to play in the postseason.’ Like that's what everybody wants to see, not only here in the Bay Area, but frankly around the world, to see those guys compete at the highest level. So for them not to be able to do that, it's really disappointing. I feel for them, but it is what it is. It's our own undoing and we’ve got to live with it.”
24:44 And then in terms of you mentioned some internal options of possibly taking some burden off of him. How much of that needs to come with a scheme change rather than players developing?
“Yeah, I mean, I think that's a good question. Maybe a little bit more pointed to Steve, but I think that's something that he'll look at and be open to. I thought we did some stuff this year that changed differently from what we have done in the past to help those guys. And I think we can do more of it. But yeah, I mean, I think that's something we'll look at. And I think everything is on the table in terms of how we play, how we want to do things. When you have a couple of years, we've missed the playoffs three of the last five years, it's fair to evaluate and make changes to things.”
25:29 Actually, as a follow-up to kind of what you just said there, to just summarize the emotion in the front office right now, given what you said about the consideration of the last game and how they lost, what you've said about having the pieces here, is there an overarching emotion that something has to change in this offseason for next season or something drastic, or no?
“Yeah, I mean, I think the overarching emotion right now is disappointment. We're still sort of settling in on what happened.”
26:00 Yeah, I just wanted to get kind of more clarity on the financial aspect of the equation, because of wanting to get better, but also at this point, it sounded like you guys need to trim salary. How do you decide, ‘Well, this is worth paying this amount because we're going to be a playoff team,’ whereas you just paid 400 million not for a playoff team. Take me through the mindset with the money right now and how needed it is to trim regardless of the moves available.
“Yeah, the way we'll look at it is, seeing what we can do, what's out there, seeing what we project of the guys we have on our roster, how they can improve talking through it with Steve and what he's looking to do to change things and really getting a hard look at like, ‘Okay, this is where we can be’ And then to go to Joe with my recommendation of what the appropriate spend is on all that. That's what it's gonna come down to. And frankly, it's probably not gonna happen next week or next month. A lot of this stuff leads up to the Draft and right up to the day of free agency. So there may not be a lot of conclusions and solutions in the short term, but that's what we’ll lead up to.”
Dunleavy opinion of the warriors team and its struggles is basically the same as mine, I have high hopes for next season
Defense has to improve. Kuminga needs to learn how to play man to man D. Wiggins does not give enough consistent effort throughout the year. We need size! Invoke the buffalo with wings and box out! Our starting forwards do not do that. Defense matters.
We need a center period someone who is 7ft mobile and can shoot so five threats on the floor rather than moving screeners
@rodneymacfarlane1513 name the center and how you would acquire him. You can’t. Ain’t done your homework. Until you do that, then your comments to me, they just don’t sound like you know exactly what you’re talking about. So, instead of saying what you said, suggest some reasonable names that are acquire-able. That’s called high-IQ analysis and that’s what I want on my channel. I do not want a copy of the Xitter here on some rug that I’ve created. Respect ✊💛💙
Yes too soon
We need Klay he’s one of your greatest players he won 4 championships with you guys. Please give him credit for that ❤
I Agree
My input is add some inside out game to the over-used and predictable outside in game. Spacing the floor is over valued in the modern NBVA IMHO. Vernicle spacing is just as important. Develop TJD and Garuba who, incidentally, can shoot the 3 ball. Small ball requires a different roster age wise. My only concern is Kerr's small ball fixation.
Please Bring Klay Back, He's My Favorite Warrior #11 💛 💙
@Rich what do you think of klays extensions effects his decision as holidays of celtics extension contracts of 135m for 4 years.Do you think Klays wanted the same amount or almost near as that of Jrue Holiday?
Go Dubs!!!!
Just unfortunate to have a bad game from Klay and Wiggins in a play in game.
His comment on not being able to get back on defense and we have to get better was interesting. The core can't get better given the age
end of Golden Nuggets era
Purple & Gold rise again!

Do you still believe in Steve Kerr system?... I think Steve is not a coach for warriors... He still believes that the trio will produce championship... He is wrong... His approach in coaching is wrong... You have your eyes... can't you see what's wrong with Kerra coaching style... If I'm the owner, I would fired him losing the knockout game... Stop thinking that it will still work out right... Hope the owners would open their eyes clearly... wasting money on a wrong idea that it would still work right or improved like Dunleavy is saying... They lack in height!!! How would you get better if you don't have the height advantage... They need a center... Not a small ball lineup... Look at what happened to rockets... They defeated them right because Rockets lineup are small & getting old... Like the warriors are right now... Steve is lacking spark. He is not focus in coaching. Maybe they should part ways with warriors.... Dunleavy is also not fit for warriors .... better hire somebody... He is controlled by Kerr... lots of players out there that they should have hired... we all know that Clay is not the same player... they should have hired players with the same caliber as Clay plays during his prime years as backup... it's all in having control of the players than them controlling the teams playing goofy plays... one day your hot the the other days your not... Kerr should have control of his players... not just playing 6 to 7 guys in rotation... when they are winning, Kerr uses 10 to 11 players in rotation... but when knockout games came... He just use 7 to 8 players... How pathetic his coaching style...
Bring back bob myers don is not good gm
Dunleavy literally drafted podz and tjd, he's a better gm that Bob, the main reason warriors were 10 seed instead of 3rd or 4th is because of 1. Dray and his bullshit, 25+ games absent cost the team. Gsw could have won at least 10 out of those games, 2. In draymond's absence Kerr's rotation in using saric at the 5 for so long caused all those blown leads in winning positions. Warriors need to pursue some length and size.
Also Dunleavy barely joined the Warriors late last summer. He has done a great job so far.
Dunleavy knows what to do to get better... but he is not doing it... blame yourself... you lose because of your decisions... replace Kerr... get some big man who can shoot & defend like Jeremy Grant or Clarkson
