GM Mike Dunleavy says 'everything is on the table' for Warriors' offseason

If a star player fades out of the playoffs and demands a trade, the Warriors should make anyone available — including impressive rookies Brandin Podziemski and Trayce Jackson-Davis.

“I think the premise of getting better, that’s what we got to look at, for sure,” Dunleavy said of a trade. “So, that will be taken into consideration. We also have to be mindful of the player who it is, the age of the player, the skill set of the player, it’s all got to fit to be able to put the chips on the table to make a move. So those are the things we’ll kind of look at and evaluate, but, yeah, there’s multiple ways to get better and that’s certainly one of ’em.”

A core of Curry, Green and Thompson is flawed. Curry has said, “I just want to win.” To grant him that wish, everything around the trio will have to click masterfully.

Beyond personnel, the Warriors may have to rethink their style. The Warriors play a beautiful game, but their motion offense of split-actions, floor-bending spacing and freestyling isn’t as novel as it once was.

In some ways, the league has caught up. Kerr, who has said that he didn’t do a good enough job putting some players in positions to score this year, has to adjust.

“I learned so much basketball from Tex Winter and Phil Jackson, and what Phil used to tell us is, ‘We don’t run the triangle for Michael and Scottie, we run it for the rest of you guys,’ ” Kerr said.

“We can run anything for those guys and they will be fine, but we run it for the rest of you guys to help you make decisions, to help simplify the game. And I’m not going to run the triangle so don’t put that in a headline, but I need to create a simpler format.”

Dunleavy thinks the coach will be “open” to changes, though Kerr said, “philosophically, I don’t think we need a huge schematic shift.”

The Warriors struggled with guarding the 3-point line. They played slowly, ranking last in percentage of points scored on the fast break. Their mix of crashing the offensive glass and sprinting back on defense was askew.

They won 46 games and believe they should’ve probably won 50, but the West is only going to get better. Ja Morant will return for Memphis. Victor Wembanyama will be a problem for the next decade. Houston was already on the Warriors’ tails.

The Warriors’ currency is championships. Getting back to that level next year will require drastic change (and a healthy dose of luck). It’ll take risks and, most likely, sacrificing at least part of Golden State’s young core it believes in. All options must be explored — at the very least to improve, but really to give Curry another shot at a title run.

There’s never a bad time to make a good decision. But this summer is no time for indecision.
