>> the dubs are licking their wounds, so to speak after a rough end to the season. and now the fans. everybody's wondering what's next. what is this team going to look like next season? that's a big question and a good question today. head coach steve kerr and general manager mike dunn levy's spoke to the media kron four's erin wilson reports. well, after a season of finding themselves at home in the first round of the plane after falling to the sacramento kings, the warriors have a lot to evaluate and still have a lot of today. mike dunn levy's the gm, of course, the head coach, steve kerr. they hit exit interviews and they spoke to us about the things that they need in order to not find themselves in the position that they found themselves in this season at home and not in the playoffs. but when asked my done, levy actually say that they need to be better on defense. he said the reason why they have those championships is because defense played a huge part. he also mentioned the fact that they need better shooting. it's no secret that the warriors were not of sufficient this year when it

came to shooting, not to the standard that they have actually sit in the nba. that said, he also said that they needed size, but he said not at the center position, not necessarily at the center position. it was his words verbatim, but that they do need more size for this team. well, the thing is when you think about all those things, they would all help with the roster. but they have some roster questions. how do you get all of those with the players that you have? this was actually what he said when asked if they go after a marquee player that's in the league now and of it. that could help out with stiff. >> how realistic is it to take a big swing to add a marquee player? yeah, i mean, i think. the premise of getting that's what we got a look at for sure. so that will be taken into we also got to be mindful of the player who it the age of the player, the skill set of the players. it's all got to fit to to be able to put the chips on the table to make a move. so those are the things we kind of look at

evaluate. yeah, there's there's multiple ways to get better. and that certainly certainly one of them. >> it was shortly after mike dunn levy's spoke that steve kerr also took the podium and spoke to us today. he spoke about the team more specifically, especially for a more personal level when it came to the relationships with the team and what this all season means. so we talked about klay thompson. he talked about draymond. he talked s% about step and he mentioned affected. keeping those 3 together is not based off of the legacy that they've created with this team, although a great one. and although he would love to see them retire is lifetime warriors. he wants the people to be reminded that the reason why they're all on this roster still is because they're efficient players and they know war your identity basketball. now that being said there are decisions that need to be made. and obviously draymond had tumultuous season when not being able to stay present due to weather with suspensions or injections. he got kind of candid. he said he spoke to dream on about it. but.listen to what he told us. that conversation kind of entailed and his take on draymond going forward. >> if you if you want to

embrace the fact that draymond is is it's competitor who is just going to play with so much emotion and passion, which makes our team so much better. and you kind of have to accept. all right. he's going to get kicked out a few games here. that's that's my approach. the other stuff. can't happen. you know, the the the physical that will cost him his career, not only in the nba, but >> now unfortunately the warriors have a lot longer to wait until the draft to figure out what happens when it comes to who they're able to. in the words of steve kerr bargain hunt for to figure out who it they will bring in to fill out this roster and is early sending home for them. this time around is they don't find themselves outside of the playoffs often. so obviously a lot of decisions still to be made and a lot of questions still to be answered up. but at least we've got a few of them from i didn't leave. and steve kerr, i'll toss it back to you guys in the studio. erin wilson to chase. all
