VP of basketball operations Mike Dunleavy Jr. is widely viewed as a successor to ex-GM Bob Myers with the Warriors.
But the job may not be all it’s cracked up to be, rival GMs told Sean Deveney of Heavy Sports.
“I think most people, if you’re a young executive in this game and you’re trying to go up the ranks, I would be worried about taking that Warriors job because it is like you are taking over the empire right as it is beginning to crumble,” one opposing GM said, via Deveney. “But Mike has the experience and the temperament. He is going to have to make some really tough decisions, and that is a tough way to come into this kind of job. First year and the to-do list is re-sign (Klay Thompson), figure out what to do with (Draymond Green) and figure out whether all your young guys are worth keeping.
“He’s got to try to stay ahead of the game.”
