The Warriors currently hold the No. 19 pick in Thursday’s NBA Draft.
Warriors owner Joe Lacob refrained from commenting on the state of his team’s roster on the day Bob Myers, his trusted team president and general manager,With the NBA Draft looming this week and free agency opening shortly thereafter, the time has come for the Warriors to start answering some questions about how they plan to approach this pivotal offseason.
Dunleavy the GM will have plenty of help from within the Warriors’ front office. Kirk Lacob, Joe’s eldest son who has been the executive VP of basketball operations since 2019, seems likely to take over Myers’ role as team president at some point and has been around for seven years. Nick U’Ren and Johnnie West, both directors of basketball operations, have been around for some time, too, and Shaun Livingston is currently the director of player affairs and engagement.
Kerr would know. He served three seasons as the Phoenix Suns’ general manager before later joining the Warriors as the head coach. Kerr also formed a tight bond with Myers over the years.“I’m really excited to work with Mike,” Kerr said. “There’s a lot of trust and over the last three years, we’ve had a lot of work together and that matters. So we have a foundation that’s built already, we trust each other and we’re going to work really well together.
Along with swallowing a hefty fee, the Warriors have few roster-building resources to get better. As of now, they can only sign players to minimum contracts. Cost-cutting measures seem inevitable at this point unless they plan to run it back with a team that won only 44 games last season and saw a second-round playoff exit one year after winning it all.
