Overview
- Steve Kerr, who said he would take a week or two before meeting owner Joe Lacob and GM Mike Dunleavy, has been meeting with media agents, according to multiple reports Wednesday.
- Florida coach Todd Golden, a reported target if Kerr departs, told reporters Wednesday he is "definitely planning on coaching the Gators" next season.
- Coverage remains split on Golden State’s readiness, with ESPN’s Anthony Slater saying management has not discussed candidates and NBC Sports Bay Area’s Monte Poole citing sources who expect Kerr to leave.
- Names floated in reporting as possible replacements span college and NBA options including Sam Cassell, Mike Budenholzer, Taylor Jenkins, Terry Stotts, Micah Nori, Chris Quinn, Sean Sweeney, Johnnie Bryant and Andre Iguodala.
- Kerr has led the Warriors for 12 seasons with four championships, so any change would signal a major pivot for an aging core and could shape whether the franchise prioritizes short-term wins or player development.
