OAKLAND — The NBA trade deadline is eight days away. The Warriors — sitting at a league-best 46-9 with a loaded roster — are expected to remain quiet.

But they’ll still field calls, general manager Bob Myers said. After Wednesday’s shootaround, Myers met with reporters to discuss the team’s strategy heading into the deadline, their possible inclusion in the buyout market once the deadline ends and his desire to get into the NBA Draft come June.

Here’s the quick Q&A.

Tell me every trade you currently have in the works.

Bob Myers: “Look, there’s the stock answers that we will be active, we will be aggressive. But we’re also smart enough to know what we have. We don’t want to disrupt what we have. Doesn’t mean we won’t answer the phone, doesn’t mean we won’t explore possibilities. But reality is, we like who we have and, even if we didn’t, our options are somewhat limited. Utah has our first (rounder) this year from the Iguodala transaction back in 2013. So we’ll see what happens. If we end up not doing anything, that would be a fine outcome as well.”

Is this a good place to be in?

“It’s better than feeling like you need to. For sure. But sometimes you feel a little guilty about not being as aggressive as other teams. (John) Wooden’s got a great quote: ‘Don’t confuse activity for achievement.’ You got to sometimes pump the brakes and realize something often is nothing. This is better than the feeling we’ve had in the past that we need to do something, something needs to change. We don’t have that now.”

Do you feel like you might need to free a roster spot for buyout season?

“Well, Briante is on his second 10-day and it’s really a 12-day because (it has to last three games). That’ll give us more time to evaluate him push it past the deadline. So we’ll see who was or was not traded and who might or might not be a candidate for a buyout. The buyout market is always fluid. It’s unpredictable. Often times you hear a player’s name and that doesn’t come to fruition or conversely, you’ll not have thought of a possibility and that pops up. So technically, having let (Anderson) Varejao go, we have a spot. (Briante) Weber currently has it. We can be flexible. So we’ll see what happens. It’s kind of hard to speculate on the buyout market because it’s somewhat unpredictable.”

Are you satisfied with what you have in terms of the balance of the roster or is there something else you need there?

Myers: “We like the fact that we can finish the games with more balance, as far as guards to bigs proportionally. We had lineups where we were playing Looney and McAdoo at the (small forward). That’s not ideal for them or us. We are more balanced. That doesn’t mean we won’t see what we can do to improve. But as far as the balance wing, big, we’re in better shape now having added Briante. We’ll see how the whole thing shapes out. We’ve had some bigs who are injured in (David) West and Zaza (Pachulia). I don’t know the exact date, but hopefully they’ll be back in the next two weeks to a month. So that doesn’t seem like it’ll be a long-term issue to add a big guy.”

Would you like to be in the upcoming draft (currently don’t have a pick)?

Myers: “I’d sure love to, I just don’t know that there’s many routes to (get in). This is our final credit card debt on the Iguodala trade. At least as far as firsts go, we’re good going forward from (2018) on. Everybody wants to be in the draft. Everybody wants to be in every draft. Unfortunately we can’t. If there was a way to do it without disrupting our roster, it’d be something we’d pursue. I just don’t see a lot of variables or possibilities to get a pick in this draft. It’s a very good draft and these picks, even more so now, are highly coveted and held onto. These picks aren’t easily attained.”

(Larry) Harris said on the radio he doesn’t expect you to “initiate” any calls. Do you expect to call people?

Myers: “We’ll initiate calls just as far as information gathering. But I think the genesis of what he is saying is we won’t be kind of pounding the phones. You initiate calls just to stay engaged. And you receive calls. I have a lot of friends who are general managers. You check in. Information is never bad. It’s my job, it’s our job in the organization, to canvass the league and get information. But I don’t think we’re viewed across the league as a great partner right now to explore trades with, but that doesn’t mean you don’t have conversations.”

Obviously you have a big summer with free agents coming up. How do you feel about your ability to keep this roster together?

Myers: “Let’s do the free agent conversation after the trade deadline. We like our team and hope we can keep our team as long as possible. We have how many days, eight days, until the deadline. So let’s get through the deadline, then the postseason, then I’ll answer that question.”

Given that you like your team, does your roster at this point have a weakness?

Myers: “We always have weaknesses. There’s never a perfect roster, never a perfect game, never a perfect player. That’s what makes it fun, constantly trying to get better. We showed it last year. A great regular season doesn’t necessarily lead to a championship. There’s always work around the edges. Sometimes you work on the roster, sometimes it’s getting guys to play together, working through injury. We’re not satisfied.”
