Warriors general manager Mike Dunleavy Jr. hinted several weeks ago that the team might have a relatively quiet offseason, writes Monte Poole of NBC Sports Bay Area.

At a press conference in mid-May after head coach Steve Kerr decided to return to the team on a new two-year deal, Dunleavy said the team needed to find a way to reduce its careless turnovers and added that Golden State’s 37-45 record wasn’t due to a talent deficit.

“This isn’t about the roster frankly,” Dunleavy said. “This year, I don’t think we came up short because of the talent on the roster. It was injuries and things we can control. Do we need to get better roster-wise? I think so. But we didn’t get to a point where we played a team that the roster was better than ours.”

Dunleavy also said multiple times leading up to free agency that the Warriors were optimistic about retaining Draymond Green, Al Horford and Kristaps Porzingis. They not only brought back all three veterans, but re-signed De’Anthony Melton, Gary Payton II and Charles Bassey as well. The only new addition on the standard roster so far this offseason is No. 11 overall pick Yaxel Lendeborg.

Here’s more on the Warriors:

• Despite speculation that the Warriors’ situation might frustrate Stephen Curry and cause him to request a trade at some point, Nick Friedell of The Athletic notes that the superstar guard has never publicly pressured the organization to make roster changes and it’s not as though the team hasn’t tried to make upgrades — the moves the club pursued just didn’t work out. A source tells Friedell that the front office has long kept Curry abreast of its plans, and the 38-year-old has consistently expressed a desire to stay with the only NBA team he’s ever known — a stance that Friedell doesn’t anticipate changing.
• In addition to focusing on cutting, converting open looks and playing high-level defense, second-year guard Will Richard also used Summer League as a way to improve his leadership skills, according to Dalton Johnson of NBC Sports Bay Area. “This was a great opportunity for me to find my voice on the team,” Richard told reporters. “That’s not just talking and all that but leading by example. Making sure I’m coming here doing the right things and being a voice where the coaches can connect to the players.” Richard helped Golden State win the Summer League title in Las Vegas last month.
• In case you missed it, Green recently discussed why he didn’t haggle over including an explicit or implicit no-trade clause in his one-year deal with Golden State.
