Willard and Dibs react to Warriors general manager Mike Dunleavy saying that the Warriors currently only have four healthy players under contract for next season. Are they about the entirely rebuild their roster this summer?
Transcript
00:00so i heard this earlier today i actually missed it somehow yesterday i heard this earlier today
00:04and it got me thinking because i was like whoa that that's kind of a a tree rattler if you
00:12will
00:12listen to mike dunleavy yesterday in the press conference he is asked basically about the
00:21expectation of the draft pick and how quickly that pick is going to need to come in and contribute
00:28and and play yeah i mean i think the situation of the roster as it stands is going to lend
00:32itself to
00:33that i think anytime we draft a player i think we want to be apprehensive about the fact that a
00:37guy
00:37can come in and contribute right away but in this scenario i think we've got four guys right now
00:42under contract that'll be healthy for training camp so i think there's opportunity abound for
00:47whoever we draft both at 11 and 54 to play and it's just that's probably a little bit different than
00:52we've had in the past with some of these guys so uh whether we like it or not the guys
00:56are going to
00:56be out there you would think barring barring injury or whatever so um you know that that's a good
01:00thing that's that by speeds up their development okay this was not the point of what he was saying
01:05but it threw me for a loop right now we have four people who are under contract and healthy for
01:12camp
01:13right did we get to a consensus on who those four people are yeah we did okay will richard number
01:19one
01:20yep two point one million gee santos four point six million um steph curry number three sixty two
01:28point six million and right aforementioned guest brandon uh book is good number four
01:37zemsky five point five point seven million in a team option which i think they've already exercised
01:44so that's it that's it those are the only four people who are healthy and currently technically
01:51on the team jimmy butler 56.8 hurt unhealthy draymond 27.7 needs to opt in gotta opt in al
01:59hallford 5.9 gotta opt in d anthony melton 3.4 gotta opt in gp2 qp3 seth spencer leones bassy
02:09crier
02:10free agents free agents for all free agents all of them all free agents um are we forgetting
02:15anyone no i'm looking right at the list right now chris daps is another guy who needs to either
02:19re-agent resign or go elsewhere yeah you got three guys with player ops yeah wow the warriors have four
02:26players can you imagine that camp like you've got steve kerr and about 11 of the coaches all right
02:33guys uh today we're gonna try a little play two on two i mean you want to talk about open
02:38gym
02:38ages out this hey with who's got next like we're looking for you guys won't play four people looking
02:46for a fifth i could see guru showing up uh of course you headband on and like steve i hear
02:53you need
02:53players i'm here the world would be my lab i mean you've got four and so if you want to
03:01like play this
03:02further forward draymond probably will opt in okay so right draymond's on the team that's five and then
03:09if porzingis comes back at a reasonable price that'd be six but that's a big if like i think
03:15past draymond i don't know what i would write in ink horford would be the next closest to ink to
03:23me
03:23but he may decide uh i don't want to play anymore yeah i don't know if he's playing
03:27yeah and he's making almost six million i mean could he decide to opt out and get more elsewhere
03:33i don't yeah i doubt it so for me it's either he wants to play for six million or he
03:38doesn't want
03:38to play at all i think that d anthony melton is for sure opting out of 3.4 if we
03:43look at it through
03:44the lens of okay draymond's on the team so that's a fifth um jimmy butler and moses moody are on
03:51the
03:51team they're just not healthy right so that's seven outside of those seven seven people i don't
03:59know who the hell else is on the warriors and i know you can do the horford and chris stops
04:04and feel
04:05like it's probable but i don't know i don't know if al horford's playing basketball next year i don't
04:10i don't know if chris stops is re-signing with the warriors i and i certainly don't know once we
04:15get past
04:16that to the you know the gp2s and the pat spencers of the world like i have no clue what
04:21to expect
04:22there and so this the reason this hit me at such a level is we've got the draft in uh
04:30five days and
04:32then about a week and a half after the draft free agency begins and the warriors have like a lot
04:42of
04:42roster spots to fill so i know we spend all our time with the trades and the big game hunting
04:49and
04:50and all of this this offseason in a way and i don't i just don't even know why i didn't
04:56think of it this
04:57way this just got a lot more interesting to me because i'm even thinking about the bottom of the
05:03roster not even just the top of the roster who's gonna be on this team well there's an order to
05:08it
05:08right it's the draft and then it's the option guys draymond al and melton and if they don't rework
05:15draymond's contract and it feels like they won't then he'll probably opt in so he goes and he's a
05:21person who'll be there yeah they do have the bird rights on porzingis which allows them to pay him a
05:26little bit more than other teams and so if porzingis does want to play here still and he thinks that
05:31dr
05:31rick celebrini is the goat then he becomes i think an early free agent decision and then beyond that
05:37you're right like the other smaller ones gp2 that feels to me like something late late late
05:44in free agency as is the rest of these guys yeah i mean what are they gonna do right right
05:51so so draymond's
05:53on the team um one or two people you know mike dunley said he'd like to actually he'd like to
05:58get a
05:59player in the draft yep so that's probably a player and then he might go get another player in the
06:03second
06:03round so that's probably another player oh but it might be a two-way guy or it might be a
06:10case where
06:11they trade out of the second round i mean second rounders are not guaranteed to make the team you
06:15know not at all so if you just take the injured guys too you go steph and jimmy and if
06:20you add in
06:20chris taps and then it's draymond moses and pods it's gee and will that's eight right there people
06:27that's eight and then the pick would be nine is nine and maybe another pick will be 10 right and
06:33if it's horford that's 11 then you still need like four more people right and you have options that
06:39you had last year like guys like leon's and bassy and crier and spencer and peyton the second i mean
06:46those are basketball players but i think before you get to that you're gonna want to go out and try
06:51to
06:51get other people if possible you know but to your point there's more work to do than just we're going
06:59big game hunting right they've got to go small and medium game hunting too they've got right and he kept
07:05referencing yesterday free agency and what i have the hardest time believing in this moment for the
07:12warriors is that there aren't some surprises coming i really do feel that i i think there are a lot
07:20of
07:20warrior fans right now who sort of listened to mike dunleavy yesterday and a few weeks ago you
07:26listened to dunleavy and kerr together and he came out of it going oh status quo boy people are using
07:33the phrase run it back yeah i did and you got mad i furious yeah run it back first of
07:39all not only
07:40just because it didn't work but they have they have used their words to say otherwise not running it
07:46back right like this was not good this was old this was no back-to-backs you're not running it
07:53back
07:54so um i really believe that they've got some things up their sleeve that's what i believe
08:02what size are these things up their sleeve because we should have resolution on yannis not that he's
08:08coming here i'm not saying that but the yannis thing should be resolved in the next four or five days
08:12you would think do they have something of that size and scope no their sleeve no i don't think so
08:17like a jimmy trade for a somebody i mean probably not right do they have a medium something like a
08:26draymond green trade for something like trey murphy the third or trey murphy would be i don't argue
08:32those are those are at least medium large i mean a draymond trade is not that's not medium i was
08:37just
08:37thinking in terms of salary deal that's a 27 million dollar okay you know because you could
08:41i mean you could trade moses moody for a guy making 12 million and that would be more of a
08:46small thing
