Dunleavy Gets Multi-Year Deal
“We’re extremely grateful that we were able to reach an agreement with Mike and his representatives,” said Mullin. “We view him as a integral part of our future and as a player who will continue to develop and expand his game, much as he has during his first three years in the NBA. Mike is a player who has improved every year that he has been in the league - as the statistics indicate - and his ability to simply help our team win basketball games will play a big part in our future success. Additionally, he is a tremendous individual and an asset to our franchise both on and off the court.” Dunleavy, 25, appeared in 79 games (all starts) for the Warriors last season, averaging a career-high 13.4 points 5.5 rebounds, 2.6 assists and 1.00 steal in 32.5 minutes per contest. He also posted new career-highs in several other categories, including field goal percentage (.451), three-point percentage (.388), steals per game and minutes per game. Over the final 34 games of the season, the 6-9 forward averaged 15.1 points and 5.7 rebounds, while shooting 48.4% from the field and 43.3% from three-point range. Originally selected with the third overall pick in the 2002 NBA Draft, Dunleavy has appeared in 236 games with Golden State, averaging 10.2 points, 4.6 rebounds and 2.2 assists in 26.3 minutes per contest. “I’m really excited to know that I will be a member of this team for the next several years,” said Dunleavy. “I knew from the beginning of this process that this is the place that I wanted to be and an organization that I wanted to be a part of in the future. I’m very optimistic about the direction of the franchise and the potential for this team to become one of the top clubs in the Western Conference for several years. Additionally, I want to thank Chris Cohan for his continued financial commitment to this team and the entire basketball operations staff for having faith in my abilities.” Read the Full Story Discuss Send Feedback Buy Tickets Dunleavy Contract Deadline Arrives
Of course, you can't tell by looking at Dunleavy, who took some ribbing from coach Mike Montgomery after Sunday's practice about shaving off his mustache. "He's holding up pretty damn well," said forward Troy Murphy, who along with guard Jason Richardson was due for an extension before last season and didn't get it until the 11th hour. "He's better than J-Rich and I were last year. "This time I just went home and laid in the bed, didn't want to leave, didn't want to do anything. I had the phone, checked to see if it was working and just waited. Yeah, he's holding up well." Read the Full Story Discuss Send Feedback Buy Tickets Three Players Waived By Golden State
