TRANSCRIPT (SEE COMMENTS FOR FULL):
00:00 MIKE DUNLEAVY, JR.: I guess I just will address having done the contract extension here for Moses. We're excited to get him signed up for another few years, really pleased with Moses as a person and as a player. And I think that extension we've done reflects that. And from that point on we're excited for him to have a good season and really looking forward to what he can do, not only this year, but for the length of the contract. So you guys have questions in regard to this, I guess, or anything on the season.
00:34 Yeah, just with with Moses in particular, where do you feel like you've seen him grow the most, just in his time here these last few years?
00:42 Yeah, I mean, I think first of all, he's a great kid. He means really well. He puts the time in that. That's all kind of remained the same. That hasn't changed. That's who we drafted. But in terms of his growth, I think the biggest thing you really see at this preseason is the work that he's put in has paid off in terms of the game slowing down for him. He's playing faster, yet the game is slower. And that's what you want to see in a young player in this league. And I think that's what we've seen sort of some, over the first few years and then really over this summer and this preseason. So that's what I think really gets us excited about what this guy can become. We're seeing the right signs. He's making the right strides and optimistic about him being a really good player in this league.
01:25 I asked Steve this yesterday. I think, and it's kind of following up on that. We hear a lot about Moses's work ethic and as a player who hasn't seen as consistent of a role or playing time, how can you kind of take us behind the curtain with said work ethic and just what he has shown you guys when he isn't playing 20-plus minutes every single night?
01:46 Yeah, I mean, I think we love his approach. Not only does he work hard, but he's resilient, keeps coming back, doesn't get deterred if has a tough night or doesn't play or all that. And that's part of what we factor in on these things and sign up players in new deals. So he's proven it in many ways, not only on the court, but off. And I know he'll continue to do that. And that's just kind of the fabric of who he is as a person. So we felt it warranted a contract extension.
02:14 Can I ask about Jonathan? Just, I guess, where did those negotiations fall off? You guys didn't find an extension with Jonathan. And where do you sit with his future with the team now?
02:28 Yeah, I mean, I don't think much has changed in regard to our hopes for his future with the team. Sometimes these things get done. Sometimes they don't. Don't really want to overreact either way. And so from that standpoint, really good communication and conversations over the course of the summer to get to where we got to, didn't get a deal done. It's got to work for both sides. Totally reasonable. Saw some deals get done out there in the league. Some didn't. We'll have him as a restricted free agent this season. And I think the most important thing for JK is just have a great year. I think that's what's best for him, the Warriors, the whole deal. So I think we're in great alignment and move forward and hope to get something done in the offseason.
03:09 As far as like the mentality and mindset for JK, there's one way of…
