SAN FRANCISCO >> Both general manager Mike Dunleavy and head coach Steve Kerr appear to be in lockstep in their desire to see what this current Warriors group can do in January before focusing on potential big splashes.

During the Warriors’ most recent game against the Philadelphia 76ers, TNT reporter Jared Greenberg reported on the broadcast that Warriors general manager Mike Dunleavy wants to spend the next couple weeks evaluating the team before making “reactionary decisions.”

On the same night, Jimmy Butler requested a trade out of Miami. The Heat suspended him seven games for conduct detrimental to the team and are open to hearing trade offers.

The Butler market, then, could materialize quickly. As in, during the time Dunleavy wants to be taking stock of his team rather than making trade proposals.

Asked about the report starting Dunleavy’s wait-and-see approach, head coach Steve Kerr said he has talked to the general manager about the topic.

“I think that makes perfect sense,” Kerr said.

After beating Philadelphia, the Warriors improved to 17-16. They started the season 12-3, riding hot shooting and tenacious defense before De’Anthony Melton tore his ACL. During the Warriors’ 3-12 slide, they flipped Melton for Dennis Schroder.

That may be the only transaction the team makes for the time being.

“We’ve been up and down this year, but we like the group,” Kerr said. “We like the people we have. We really want to see how we play over the next month. And then just, you know, keep our options open.”

Warriors power brokers have long stated the desire to maximize Steph Curry’s championship window. The clearest way to do that is by getting him immediate help in the shape of a star sidekick before the Feb. 6 trade deadline.

Although Jonathan Kuminga has blossomed over the past two weeks into a nightly force, he’s still only 22 and won’t be in his prime for several more years.
