Warriors, Steve Kerr Leave First Meeting Without Decision on Coaching Future

The franchise is conducting a basketball-only review that weighs his interest in returning, potential staff tweaks, plus draft-driven roster options.

Overview

  • Steve Kerr met owner Joe Lacob and GM Mike Dunleavy for roughly two hours Monday, a discussion both sides called productive but left without a resolution as they plan to meet again next week.
  • Team and league sources say this is a basketball decision focused on whether Kerr wants to keep coaching, how the offense and staff might evolve, and what upgrades the front office can make this offseason.
  • The May 10 NBA Draft Lottery looms large, with Golden State holding a 9.4% chance at a top-four pick that could either deliver a key rookie or become trade fuel to reshape the roster.
  • Kerr, 60, is described as torn and has said he does not want to walk away from Stephen Curry and Draymond Green, even as he acknowledges every coaching run has an end point.
  • Warriors management has not started a coaching search, though some outlets have speculated about potential successors such as Florida coach Todd Golden if Kerr chooses to step away.
