Steve Kerr and Mike Dunleavy preached ‘connectivity’ ahead of the 2023-24 season. Get used to hearing about it.
But reconnecting the Warriors starts with ensuring a solid working relationship between the head coach and GM. They have to set the example.
It’s a tough act for Dunleavy to follow. At the very least, there’s a shift in the power dynamics between the front office and the coaching staff, with Kerr holding far more experience.For Kerr, Myers’ vote of confidence in Dunleavy is all he needed. “I’ll probably lean on him in a lot of ways,” Dunleavy said of Kerr. “He’s had this position before as a general manager. So he definitely can provide some great insight, and he already has; and I’ll continue to help and support him any way I can.”We’ll get a better sense of things next Monday, when the team will hold a media day, but Kerr and Dunleavy seem encouraged by the players’ offseason work.
Paul also had no connection when he took a 6 a.m. Southwest flight from Southern California to participate in a Chase Center workout with Steph Curry and the other Warriors.
