"We think Mike is the perfect fit to lead our
basketball operations department," Warriors owner Joe Lacob said
in a statement. "He has a wealth of basketball knowledge,
stemming from his family upbringing, a 15-year NBA playing
career and five seasons serving under Bob Myers in our front
office.
"He's young and energetic, has established numerous
relationships around the league and communicates well with
players and coaches -- all important traits in this business.
Mike's ready for this challenge and responsibility."
Dunleavy previously served as a pro scout for the Warriors in
2018-19 before being elevated to assistant GM. He is the son of
long-time NBA player, coach and executive Mike Dunleavy Sr.
The Warriors posted a 44-38 record during the regular season in
2022-23. They fell to the Los Angeles Lakers in the Western
Conference semifinals.
