The answer to one of the most pressing questions heading into next week’s NBA draft came to light early Friday morning.
Mike Dunleavy Jr. has agreed to a deal to become the Warriors’ next general manager, the team announced.
Warriors owner Joe Lacob didn’t have to go far to find the “perfect fit” to succeed Bob Myers, who announced last month that he’d be stepping away from the team after 12 years and four titles. Dunleavy, 42, appeared to be a logical replacement for Myers as the two have worked closely together over the last five years, with Dunleavy working his way up from scout to Myers’ right-hand man.
