While Steve Kerr recently mentioned the Golden State Warriors could benefit from adding “younger legs” and players capable of handling back-to-back games, general manager Mike Dunleavy Jr. suggested the organization is not planning a major roster overhaul this offseason.
According to Anthony Slater of ESPN, Dunleavy believes injuries and controllable mistakes played a larger role in Golden State’s disappointing season than the roster itself.
“This isn’t about the roster frankly,” the Warriors GM said.
The Warriors finished the season 37-45 and missed the playoffs, but Dunleavy emphasized that he still believes the team’s overall talent level was competitive enough.
“This year, I don’t think we came up short because of the talent on the roster,” he said. “It was injuries and things we can control.”
Dunleavy did acknowledge that improvements are still necessary moving forward, though he stopped short of suggesting dramatic changes are coming this summer.
“Do we need to get better roster-wise? I think so,” Dunleavy said. “But we didn’t get to a point where we played a team that the roster was better than ours.”
