The Golden State Warriors need a plan as Steve Kerr reaches the end of his deal. Recent talks and new job offers have led to many questions about the team. Draymond Green has now shared his thoughts on what will happen next.

Green recently reversed his stance on Steve Kerr's future, expressing optimism that the longtime head coach will return to the Golden State Warriors for the 2026-27 season. This is a big change from April 2026. At that time, Green said it "felt like the end" after the team lost their last game to the Phoenix Suns.

Kerr’s record-breaking extension, signed in 2024, is set to expire this summer, leaving his future technically undecided as of May 7.

Kerr has held multiple positive meetings with owner Joe Lacob and GM Mike Dunleavy. While no final decision has been announced, reports suggest the Warriors are increasingly operating under the assumption that he will stay.

ESPN is reportedly "aggressively pursuing" Kerr to return to broadcasting if he decides to step away from the bench.

Kerr has consistently stated he does not want to walk away while is still playing, provided their organizational goals remain aligned.
