NBA pundit wants Mike Dunleavy 'on the clock' for Warriors' lackluster offseason

Kendrick Perkins, ESPN analyst and former NBA player, criticized Golden State Warriors general manager Mike Dunleavy for a “lackluster” offseason that leaves the team largely unchanged. Barring unexpected moves, the Warriors will return mostly intact from their 37-45 season and 10th-seed status, a situation Perkins says is unacceptable given Steph Curry’s standing as a two-time MVP. Speaking on ESPN’s “First Take” on Wednesday, Perkins argued that while other contenders strengthened—citing the San Antonio Spurs’ addition of Tobias Harris—Golden State has been too passive. He also referenced Curry turning 39 and contrasted the Warriors’ missed chances for LeBron James and their failure to land any major upgrade. According to ESPN’s Anthony Slater, Golden State never seriously pursued Anthony Davis, instead re-signing players including Draymond Green, De’Anthony Melton, Al Horford, Kristaps Porzingis and Charles Bassey, with new rookies Yaxel Lendeborg and Lajae Jones.
