As there will be rumors surrounding the Golden State Warriors<\/a> after a disappointing end to the season in the play-in tournament, speculation will continue about a potential change in management. While it remains to be seen whether the Warriors make a bombshell trade this offseason<\/a> to re-energize the team, details of the situation surrounding general manager Mike Dunleavy have been revealed.<\/p>\n

According to Ramona Shelburne and Anthony Slater of ESPN. Golden State is \u201ccommitted\u201d<\/a> to keeping Dunleavy, mentioning that there had been speculation regarding the opening front office positions with the Chicago Bulls. In regards to a contract, ESPN reports that Dunleavy and the team had \u201cquietly\u201d signed an extension recently.<\/p>\n

\u201cOn the management side, the Warriors are committed to Dunleavy, and he remains committed to them, despite external noise about Chicago’s front office vacancies. Dunleavy quietly signed an extension in recent months, team sources said, and has multiple years left on his deal,\u201d Shelburne and Slater wrote.<\/p>\n

More on Warriors’ Mike Dunleavy and head coach Steve Kerr<\/p>\n

While some wonder if it’ll be the end of an era for the Warriors led by head coach Steve Kerr and stars Stephen Curry<\/a> and Draymond Green, the keeping of Dunleavy could signal it’s not, as he has the trust of the names just mentioned, plus others.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere’s an internal belief that Dunleavy has drafted well, and despite a no-nonsense and at times harsher approach than his predecessor, Bob Myers, he has gained the trust and ear of the figures that matter \u2014 Lacob, Kerr, Curry, Green and Butler, who have all only talked well of him,\u201d Shelburne and Slater wrote.<\/p>\n

Speaking of Kerr, his future with Golden State is dependent on his adaptability, with management wanting \u201cphilosophy tweaks,\u201d believing the team \u201cwere too reliant this season on three-point variance.<\/p>\n

If Kerr returns, they will discuss staffing and what management believes is a need for philosophy tweaks, team sources said, focusing on diversifying the offensive attack and winning the analytically friendly possession battle more often,\u201d the two wrote.<\/p>\n

The Warriors look to improve after finishing 37-45, finishing 10th in the Western Conference.<\/p>\n
