Former Blue Devil Mike Dunleavy had a long and successful NBA career. Since retiring in 2017, Dunleavy has moved towards the front office. He started as a scout with Golden State in 2018 and was quickly promoted to assistant general manager and then to vice president of basketball operations (what other kind of operations is Golden State running?)
On Tuesday, team president and GM Bob Myers resigned after a brilliant run and recommended Dunleavy as his successor. Aside from the recent successes, that’s a great job with a franchise that is willing to pay the price to succeed.
