Warriors Head Coach Expresses Trust in Front Office Ahead of Trade Deadline
The Golden State Warriors have encountered challenges in recent weeks, which has led to speculation regarding potential activity ahead of the trade deadline. Head coach Steve Kerr conveyed that while he trusts the front office's judgment, he also noted that inaction might be the most prudent choice at this time.
"I have 100 percent faith in our organization to do whatever the right thing is and sometimes the right thing is to not do anything," Kerr stated, as reported by 95.7 The Game. He emphasized the significance of evaluating any proposed moves, expressing confidence in general manager Mike Dunleavy Jr. and the organization's overall capabilities, urging that they are diligently examining all possible options.
This season, the Warriors executed a significant transaction by trading De'Anthony Melton to the Brooklyn Nets in exchange for Dennis Schröder. In 14 games since joining the team, Schröder has averaged 10.1 points and 4.6 assists, but his impact has not translated into the desired victories for Golden State. After an encouraging start with a record of 12-3, the Warriors have seen a decline, currently standing at 19-20 and in 12th place in the Western Conference. As they look ahead, the team faces a challenging slate of games against formidable opponents including the Minnesota Timberwolves, Boston Celtics, and Los Angeles Lakers. While Kerr indicated the possibility of standing pat at the trade deadline, the urgency for the team to explore options to regain their form remains apparent.
