After the Golden State Warriors failed to advance during the Western Conference play-in tournament, fans wondered about the future of the franchise.
As the game ended, Warriors head coach Steve Kerr shared a moment with longtime Golden State stars Stephen Curry and Draymond Green. After the game, Kerr said that he will discuss what comes next with franchise governor Joe Lacob and president of basketball operations Mike Dunleavy Jr. after taking a week or two to think about the future.
However, he added that it might be time for "new blood" and "new ideas" and that he would feel grateful for the amazing opportunity he has had coaching the team. He added it "may not" go on beyond what we have already seen.
Green weighed in, too, about how uncertain he feels about the next chapter.
He said that if fans want his opinion, though, he thinks "not" based on his feelings.
Kerr signed a two-year, $35 million extension signed in February 2024. The deal elapsed after the Warriors were eliminated from the play-in tournament.
Ramona Shelburne and Anthony Slated had more (via ESPN):
"More than anything, team sources said, Lacob will want to hear Kerr express a hunger to continue executing the nitty-gritty details of the daily job, not a reluctant acceptance that he should continue coaching purely out of loyalty to Green and Curry and the sentimentality of riding out this era.
That's why, if Kerr decides he wants to return, there's a desire from management for him to sign a multiyear deal, team sources said, instead of setting up a last dance farewell tour that would feel more about emotion and nostalgia than wins."
Steve Kerr mentioned he would discuss the team's future with management and suggested it might be time for 'new blood' and 'new ideas.'
Draymond Green expressed uncertainty about the next chapter for the Warriors following their recent performance.
Kerr's comments suggest potential changes in the roster or coaching staff as he considers the need for fresh perspectives.
