TOPICS (full transcript on website https://www.letsgowarriors.com/)
02:06 Mike, Steph specifically mentioned size, all around, the roster and shooting. I know you can't make a trade right now and you probably can't speak specifically, but would you highlight those two areas, shooting and size?
03:13 Kuminga is the big ticket item in the summer, obviously. Where do you think that situation's at, as it has started restricted?
04:26 How much do you feel like there's a convincing that if he comes back, this is the best place for his career and how much will you also potentially look at sign-and-trades with him and other options?
05:13 Did you get the sense in his exit interview he does want to meet?
05:45 How do you feel like the way he played against Minnesota might affect his market?
06:23 The playoffs were officiated pretty differently than the regular season this year. How might that dichotomy affect the way you look at improving a team?
07:30 When you're looking for a center maybe to give Draymond a break from playing the 5, what are some of the traits that you're gonna look at when deciding who to bring in?
08:36 What's your general philosophy on adding a fourth star or improving with multiple complementary pieces?
09:43 Are the ages of Steph, Draymond and Jimmy sustainable for a championship run?
10:33 How do you reconcile the struggles that both Brandin and Moses had in the playoffs versus the strides that they made in the regular season?
11:32 Would you imagine you have the okay to go deeper in the tax?
12:27 Would there be an interest from management to get Kerr's contract synced up with Steph/Dray/Jimmy?
13:13 How do you view the second apron as something you want to avoid, not for money purposes, but for strategic purposes?
14:04 How do you view Trayce and Quinten’s development and how practical is it that they can relieve Draymond of some of those duties next season?
15:10 How much confidence is there that you can find potentially another contributor like Trayce, like Quinten, at 41?
15:50 What did you see in Jimmy that the rest of us didn't?
16:34 Obviously, we can see that with the three-point shooting and stuff, but in terms of your philosophy as of building a roster, what do you think of the three or four things you want to do to try and get a roster? What does it take to build a roster that can succeed in the NBA today?
18:03 With Jimmy and Dray as part of your core, you guys really aren't built to be a five-out team or even a four-out team. What are the challenges of trying to threaten defenses with those two guys not being that threat from three?
18:52 Mike, you had mentioned, "As long as our three stars have their fastball, we're still about pursuing championships." Do you see this as a two-year window and seeing what you see with the landscape of the NBA and other contenders, do you feel like at their age, they can keep that fastball going for these next two years and what you might have to do around them?
20:50 How do you view your own future and how are you settling into the job? Do you feel like a veteran GM at this point?
22:05 Without subtracting anyone necessarily from the current roster, would you say that it would be safe to say you guys would require a big, a wing and maybe a playmaking guard to be from where you are now to championship contender? And how much do you prioritize needing size versus needing shooting versus needing playmaking?
23:41 Just, in that same realm, Looney and Gary are free agents again, just how do you view their future here?
