Kendrick Perkins Calls Out The Warriors for Being 'Dysfunctional'

The Golden State Warriors are the NBA's greatest modern dynasty, with four NBA Championships led by the likes of Steph Curry, Klay Thompson, and Draymond Green. However, over the past few years, this is a team that's made some interesting decisions, and given that they're just 23–19 this season in the loaded Western Conference, many believe that the dynasty is officially over.

It's hard to exactly pinpoint where the dynasty ended, with the emergence of teams like Denver, Boston, and Oklahoma City all playing a role. However, former NBA big man turned analyst Kendrick Perkins has noted that ever since the departure of general manager Bob Myers, this has become a dysfunctional organization.

"Since Bob Myers has left that organization, it has been nothing but dysfunctional."

In the past three years, the Warriors have failed to make it to the Western Conference Finals despite Steph Curry still playing at a high level, and even after landing Jimmy Butler at the trade deadline, they failed to go deep again in 2024–25. On paper, this is still a team that could compete for an NBA Championship with Curry, Butler, and Green leading the way, but with all of the drama surrounding Jonathan Kuminga, it's hard to argue with Perkins' assessment.

Ultimately, though, if there's anyone who can lead their team through this dysfunction, it's Steph Curry, but given the competition and the questionable moves, it's easy to see why this dynasty could be officially done following a decade of success.
