Warriors Pre-Draft Presser with Mike Dunleavy | June 24, 2024

Golden State Warriors General Manager Mike Dunleavy met with the media before the 2024 Draft Night.

[@raymondespinoza420]

RIP Jerry West, thanks for building the dynasty and many others

[@TsMexi_]

Let Moody play! everyone sleeps on this man, dude has decent shot percentages and the amount of bail out last second shots he takes is unreal. We have the piece just not the experience yet. An experienced centre would be helpful but it has to be a passing big.

[@sadalliecole3418]

He is low key Klay like

[@JohnnyBGood-vm7rx]

but steve kerr would rather have klay shoot us out of games. this is probably why the FO would rather let klay walk just so kerr would stop playing him!

All y’all acting like klay can contribute in a playoff series. Did y’all not watch the play in and last season’s playoffs? He’s good during the regular season but shrinks into a 10 day contract player when it matters. I’m sorry I love klay but y’all need to face reality they’re older now. All great teams break up sometimes. Plus theirs a log jam in the sg/sf positions.

[@MerpTime]

Bingo. People keep having loyalty and thinking Klay can get his 2018 form again where he was a contributor and not a liability. He's a liability on offense AND defense now. It would have been ok if he played a lick of good defense like Jrue does (which he wants a contract comparable to from the rumors) but he does neither any more and its time to let it go.

[@drift6785]

Before ppl get on his butt. Let's not forget he inherited the issues that even Bob left. Dray can't keep his emotions in check, klay is a diva and unrealistic, Wiggins if regressing. Steph doesn't have anyone he can count on, he can't keep carrying every night or drop 30pts+ games and lose every night at age 36... If you really look what he has done, he drafted amazing with bp and trayce, he had to moved poole so he can get cp3's contract to come off the books this off-season, he's rebuilding all he can. The warriors doesn't have the greatest assets or image rn. IT WAS ONLY HIS FIRST YEAR FOR CRYING OUT LOUD. Do you think you can be a master at every job you start out there? No right? Even back then the dynasty took a couple years to be built, it's even harder now...

[@ninerempire3398]

Agreed, he was left with the aftermath of a dynasty. Super expensive roster, no first round draft pick, and an old/breaking down core . It’s a multi year rebuild

[@sueprator9314]

Wiggins is a head case or a slacker in hiding. He was consistent for one season then it was back to being Minnesota Wiggs. I hated those 2 seasons with his unprofessional secretive excuses. He makes too much for that coddling b.s and then play way less than.

[@shaquilledunbar3927]

TK is relentless with the questions. I'm not made at it though. Someone has to ask the hard questions.

[@kcross4293]

It’s really annoying like dude get over asking the “hard questions” 5 million different ways

[@themetalpig7613]

Dub Nation HQ did a great 45 min video last week breaking down our salary situation and who we can realistically sign etc. Worth a watch.

[@chiefahoygaming8582]

When Bob leaves, so does championship aspiration.

[@themetalpig7613]

He was too close to the players to make proper judgements. Giving Poole the money they did was evidence of that. He ran off before he had to make any really hard decisions as the end of the dynasty approached.

[@frankieclayton9303]

So that's why it's about being smart Warriors and GM

[@Trumentality]

I would love to see warriors target OG aggressively. 3 reasons. 1 if it is without klay and chris on the books we can make a decent offer under the new cba. 2 if the knicks don't want to lose OG for nothing they may agree to a sign and trade, which would leave us space to make an offer for Klay. 3 if OG decides to go with the knicks it will drive up the price which will limit their cap space which in a way makes the warriors stronger. This model could pretty much work for any free agent warrior fans!!!! Lets gooooo!!!! So many possibilities this off season!!

[@MaxPotentialGreatness]

But he’s so injury prone. Albeit the warriors have the best medical staff idk if OG has it.

[@memoirsofalegend5472]

Rather get PG

[@carladavis1473]

I tuck they are going for PG

[@Trumentality]

@@MaxPotentialGreatness totally get you. I just like OG cuz he fills so many of the warriors gaps, but i do think the plan could work with any free agent ^_^.

i keep seeing comments on ppl saying get curry his 5th ring and i absolutely think that’s wild to exclude dray and klay from a statement like that. as if the 4 rings came bc of just steph…. yeah at the end of the day business is business but Curry doesn’t get ring 5 without dray and klay. i’m open to discussion without attacking. so if you comment leave name calling and degrading comments to yourself
