On Thursday, with training camp now in full swing, the Golden State Warriors announced a large number of promotions and hirings in the basketball operations department.
The moves were highlighted by promotions to three very notable names: Mike Dunleavy Jr., Zaza Pachulia, and Nick U’Ren.
The biggest move comes for Dunleavy, who has been promoted from Assistant General Manager to Vice President of Basketball Operations. It’s a bump up in status and responsibility — and likely pay grade — though Dunleavy’s job will probably remain fairly similar. The Warriors didn’t announce a replacement as Assistant General Manager, and Bob Myers is both the team’s General Manager and President of Basketball Operations, so Dunleavy is continuing to report to the same person.
