Detailing Mike Dunleavy Jr.’s ascension from Warriors draft pick to GM

New York Times  

Mike Dunleavy Jr.’s path back to the Golden State Warriors, the franchise that once drafted him, came because of his former agent. But he was focused on the front office.” With it being announced Friday, Dunleavy is now the Warriors’ next general manager. But Dunleavy often felt the brunt of the Oracle Arena boos because of that third overall pick label and then the five-year, $44 million price tag — negotiated by Myers’ agency — on his extension. Dunleavy attached himself to Myers for the frantic first few hours of free agency and was in the same Ritz-Carlton room as Myers when the Warriors were able to execute a sign-and-trade with Brooklyn that brought them back D’Angelo Russell, eventually leading to Andrew Wiggins and the pick that became Jonathan Kuminga at the next trade deadline. After the Warriors’ Game 1 loss to the Lakers in the second round last month, Dunleavy was spotted in deep conversation in the weight room with Myers, Steph Curry and Draymond Green.
