Speaking to Mark Medina of NBA.com on Wednesday, Warriors president of basketball operations Bob Myers suggested he does not expect to make any significant changes to the current roster before the 2022-23 season begins.
“I like our team and where it’s at,” Myers said of the defending champions. “I want to give the guys a chance to do it again.”
While Medina interprets Myers’ comments as a strong signal that the Warriors would not seriously pursue a Kevin Durant trade, such a move was already considered a long shot. Golden State has not shown much interest in sacrificing its depth or young prospects in order to make a run at another marquee player, Medina notes.
For his part, Myers is curious to see what the Warriors look like defending their title after coming off a couple non-playoff seasons in 2020 and 2021.
“It’s a good group. We’re lucky. It’ll be fun to see,” he told Medina. “We were really hunting last year. Now I guess we’re back to being the hunted, which I didn’t think we’d be. We’ll see. I think we can handle it.”
