GM Mike Dunleavy, Warriors look to regroup after missing the playoffs with Curry, Green, Thompson

Associated Press  

SAN FRANCISCO — General manager Mike Dunleavy Jr. and the rest of Golden State’s front office staff had a feeling this season would wind up short of the ultimate goal for a franchise that has won four NBA championships over the past decade. He’s still a really good player and I think we have enough good players in our system, we have enough assets to acquire good players and we have the ability to keep getting better.” The question for Dunleavy is whether the Warriors can make another title run while led by the core trio of Thompson, the 36-year-old Curry and Draymond Green, who is 34. And for that reason I’m hopeful we can make it happen, but, you know, it’s a deal both sides got to be good with it and we’ll work through that.” Dunleavy also said of Green, “fully expect him to be back,” following a season in which the fiery forward served two suspensions. The 2022 NBA champions must get better defensively, Dunleavy said, having missed the playoffs following last season’s elimination by LeBron James and the Los Angeles Lakers in the Western Conference semifinals. “There’s no doubt about that, there’s no what-ifs.” When Dunleavy and Curry spoke Wednesday, the GM expressed his disappointment that the veterans — and the young players — aren’t playing deep into the postseason.
