Draymond Green has been impressed with the way the Warriors’ front office handled the always-turbulent NBA offseason.

Speaking to reporters during Warriors Media Day, the 34-year-old gave his thoughts on Golden State’s lack of significant roster moves.

“To see them stand up and say, ‘No, we’re going to pluck away, we’re going to sign a Buddy Hield, we’re going to sign a De’Anthony Melton, we’re going to sign a Kyle’ Anderson,’ and just run with it going, I thought that was incredible,” Green told reporters. “I thought it shows who this organization is, and it’s a testament to Mike Dunleavy and who he is as a basketball mind, a guy who grew up in the NBA his whole life. As I said, in most situations you see someone panic and take a step that sets him or her back five years.

“One step in this competition can virtually prepare you for how the next decade of your organization will play out. Sometimes not making a deal is the best deal you can make, and I think we’ve done a great job of going out and getting pieces that are going to help this team grow, giving young guys an opportunity to grow and still maintain the lead. future of this organization is as bright as ever.”

While the Warriors made overtures to All-Star forward Paul George and looked for a potential trade for Lauri Markkanen, Golden State’s roster remained relatively the same, save for Hield’s replacement of Klay Thompson, Chris Paul and Dario Sario. Anderson and Melton.

Dunleavy and the rest of Golden State’s top prospects are counting on these solid veteran additions, as well as the continued development of young stars like Jonathan Kuminga, Moses Moody, Brandin Podziemski and Trayce Jackson-Davis.

With Steph Curry continuing to play at a high level, there are plenty of reasons for optimism as the 2024-2025 NBA season approaches.

Signing a superstar free agent or making a major trade would have pushed the franchise even deeper into the luxury tax apron or forced trading of countless draft picks. Instead, the Warriors retain plenty of roster flexibility heading into the start of the season.

Time will tell if the lack of roster moves will get the Warriors back into the playoffs of the rugged Western Conference.
