Speaker Bio
Mike Dunleavy begins his third season as the Warriors general manager, and eighth overall with the front office. On June 16, 2023, Dunleavy was promoted to his current position after serving as vice president, basketball operations for the previous two seasons (2021-22 and 2022-23) and two seasons (2019-20 and 2020-21) as the assistant general manager. He originally joined the front office in 2018-19 as a pro scout following a 15-year playing career in the NBA that included four-plus seasons with the Warriors.
Under Dunleavy, the Warriors acquired six-time NBA All-Star forward Jimmy Butler III on February 6, 2025, helping the Warriors finish the 2024-25 regular season with a 48-34 record after a 25-26 mark before Butler III’s Warriors debut. The Warriors became the seventh No. 7 seed to advance to the conference semifinals, upsetting the No. 2 Houston Rockets in the 2025 NBA Playoffs Western Conference First Round, 4-3. Another notable trade Dunleavy made came prior to the start of the 2023-24 season when the Warriors acquired 12-time All-Star guard Chris Paul. Trades for draft rights and the selection of players in the NBA Draft have also helped strengthen the team, such as guard Brandin Podziemski (19th in 2024), who was named to the 2023-24 All-Rookie First Team.
Dunleavy was selected by the Warriors with the third overall pick in the 2002 NBA Draft and posted career averages of 11.2 points, 4.3 rebounds and 2.2 assists in 27.7 minutes over 986 regular season games in 15 seasons with the Warriors, Indiana Pacers, Milwaukee Bucks, Chicago Bulls, Cleveland Cavaliers and Atlanta Hawks. With Golden State (2002-03 – 2006-07), Dunleavy appeared in 356 games (225 starts), averaging 10.6 points (43.2 FG%, 34.8 3P%, 76.9 FT%), 4.7 rebounds, 2.5 assists in 27.6 minutes per game.
Prior to the NBA, Dunleavy spent three seasons playing under legendary coach Mike Krzyzewski at Duke University, where he was named Second Team All-American as a junior in 2001-02 and helped the Blue Devils to a national title in 2000-01. Duke posted a record of 95-13 (.880) in his three collegiate seasons, with Dunleavy compiling career averages of 13.2 points, 5.8 rebounds, 2.2 assists and 1.60 steals in 104 games.
Dunleavy and his wife, Sarah, have four children. His father, Mike Dunleavy Sr., is a former NBA player, coach and executive who played 11 seasons and spent 17 seasons as a head coach with the Los Angeles Lakers, Milwaukee Bucks, Portland Trail Blazers and Los Angeles Clippers.
