The Golden State Warriors opened to the media Thursday with Mike Dunleavy Jr. following an active offseason that saw them lose Klay Thompson but added Kyle Anderson, De’Anthony Melton and Buddy Hield. He talked about front office strategy. However, efforts to raise the profile of players such as Paul George and Lauri Markkanen failed.
“The franchise is probably as impatient as you are, given the timeline and everything else,” Dunleavy said. “However, there is a fine line between impatience and undiscipline. I feel good about the discipline we implemented this summer, the roster we built, and the growth we will have from within. I know everyone is always looking for big breaking news and such, but I really like this team. ”
The Warriors will continue to be aggressive throughout the season.
“Does that mean we’re definitely going to do something? No,” Dunleavy said. “Last year we were very aggressive around the deadline. We didn’t do too much. You need a partner. It can be difficult to get a deal in this league. But with effort and urgency always exists.”
