Golden State Warriors Make Official Statement

It was reported early on Friday morning that the Golden State Warriors would be promoting Mike Dunleavy Jr. to general manager. The team made an official statement to announce the replacement of Bob Myers, with Joe Lacob stating the following:

"We think Mike is the perfect fit to lead our basketball operations department. He has a wealth of basketball knowledge, stemming from his family upbringing, a 15-year NBA playing career and five seasons serving under Bob Myers in our front office. He's young and energetic, has established numerous relationships around the league and communicates well with players and coaches-all important traits in this business. Mike's ready for this challenge and responsibility."

Dunleavy has long been the anticipated replacement for Myers, and that has now been made official by the Warriors. This move comes at a pivotal time for the organization, as Dunleavy will oversee an offseason that still has many unanswered questions. While Bob Myers has been the person to navigate through these uncertainties throughout Golden State's dynasty run, he will be handing over those responsibilities to Dunleavy.

Still intent on competing for championships, the Warriors will approach this summer with a goal of getting better both in the short and long term. It's a difficult task, but any team with Steph Curry has a chance to compete at the highest level.
