The way that the offseason has gone for the Golden State Warriors might be a reason to give fans a certain amount of concern considering that the Warriors largely didn't make any moves to improve their roster after a 37-45 regular season record and an elimination in the Play-In tournament, but the Warriors front office at least feels confident in the roster.

General manager Mike Dunleavy recently addressed the media on the plans for next season and reflected on what went wrong last season and when it comes to the disappointments that the Warriors experienced, Dunleavy chalked that up more to circumstances largely outside of the Warriors' control rather than any factors that the team needs to directly work on.

Dunleavy especially pointed toward injuries as a main reason why the Warriors underperformed so severely, and in that regard he does have a point. The Warriors had to play the majority of the season without Jimmy Butler, who was sidelined with a torn ACL, and Moses Moody, who tore the patellar tendon in his left knee, and both Steph Curry and Al Horford missed large swatch of time due to injuries of their own. 

Those four accounted for what should have been a large part of their core, but the Warriors were deprived of a lot of that value due to poor health.

In Dunleavy's eyes, the roster that the Warriors currently have is far better with health on their side and a prime reason as to why he feels so confident in the team as it is.

"Short of health, I feel really good about this team," Dunleavy said (via Kenzo Fukuda). "We need to stay healthy. That's always the case. We've talked about at the end of the season the things that we need to clean up internally, control the things that you can control... those things that with Steve [Kerr] coming back, he's on top of."

Banking on health is common thread for a lot of teams when preparing for a new season, and the Warriors will have a tougher time than most considering the age of their roster and the growing injury history they have as a team, but should the Warriors have health on their side as Dunleavy is hoping, it's plausible to think that they can improve on last season's performance. 

Dunleavy also pointed to some of the improvements that the Warriors have already made, like trading for Kristaps Porzingis at the deadline, whom they've since signed to an extension, as evidence that the team has already improved and can continue to build toward future success. 

Cautious optimism is perhaps the best way to define Dunleavy's feelings about the Warriors going into next season, but based on his statements and assuming that the health he's hoping for is on the Warriors' side, Golden State should have more reasons to feel like next season will be an improvement on last season, though that is a low bar.
