Welcome to a Thursday edition of Locked-on Warriors. I'm West Goldberg, Warriors beat writer for the Bay Area News Group.

Thank you for following the show wherever it is that you follow and get your podcast. Thank you to subscribing to our new YouTube channel.

This is my one-on-one conversation with Michael Mulder. You know Michael Mulder, the backup guard for the Warriors,

who was a key part of that eight-man rotation that closed out the season, having won 15 of their

last 20 games, forcing their way into the playing tournament, where, of course, they ultimately

lost and did not make the postseason. But Michael Mulder is in a bit of a crossroads now. Maybe

that's too strong of a word, but his contract for next year, he's under contract

for next year, but that deal is non-guaranteed.

And this opportunity to prove himself on the Olympic state as a part of Team Canada

didn't work out because Team Canada was eliminated in an upset, and they will not be heading

to Tokyo for the Olympics. So now Michael Mulder

heads back to his home city outside of Ontario. He will eventually move back to the Bay Area

within the next couple of days and begin working with the team at Chase Center. We don't know if

Michael Mulder will be part of the roster next year, but I spoke with him about that, about his experience, although short-lived with Team Canada, his last year and a half as part

of the Warriors, what he's learned from guys like Steph and Clay and Dremont, and all of that.
