After the 2023–24 NBA season, Steve Kerr doesn’t see himself leaving the Warriors.Kerr has led Golden State to an extraordinary dynasty over the last ten years, winning four NBA championships in the process. However, with Bob Myers, the former general manager of the Warriors, no longer involved and Kerr’s contract expiring without an extension inked, there are concerns that the 58-year-old and Golden State may be splitting up at the end of the season.
In contrast to rumours, the Warriors coach told Logan Murdock of The Ringer that he envisions a future for himself that is similar to the one he has been living in the Bay for the past ten years.Kerr said to Murdock, “I want to be back.” “Every time I’ve been questioned about that, I’ve been explicit about that. All I will not discuss is anything related to contracts, but other than that, I have been fairly transparent. I would like to return. I believe I will return because Joe [Lacob] has told me he wants me back.A visionary, tactician and authentic leader, Kerr has managed to do wonders with the Warriors teams he has coached.
Golden State’s journey to become an NBA powerhouse has been influenced by Kerr in every way, from his five straight NBA Finals victories to his role in developing Steph Curry into a star and two-time MVP, turning Klay Thompson into one of the league’s best shooters and two-way guards, and maximising Draymond Green’s defensive abilities.
Now, as the Warriors inch their way closer to the latter stages of their dynasty, Kerr remains committed as ever to Golden State. “I coach an unbelievable group of guys,” Kerr said. “I love my coaching staff. I love Mike Dunleavy. Mike has been amazing to work with. Joe’s an incredible owner. “When you think about what he’s done with his franchise and to have been a part of it with Bob and with Steph and Dray and Klay, it’s amazing. So just because we’re not as good now doesn’t mean I’m going to just jump ship and say, ‘All right guys, see you later.’
“It’s too early to leave the party, and Kerr knows that.” The Warriors’ days of barreling through five straight NBA Finals appearances may be behind them, but the dynasty-winning core remains intact, complemented by a young core of players led by 21-year-old Jonathan Kuminga. “I’m not here just for winning championships, I’m here because I love my job. I love my players and coaches and I love working for the Warriors. So why would I leave?”
