Steve Kerr: Warriors Exit Would Be 'Easy Decision' If Steph Curry, Draymond Green Were Retiring

Steve Kerr remains undecided if he will return as head coach of the Golden State Warriors next season and admitted in a lengthy and personal interview with the New Yorker that the decision is complicated by the fact that Stephen Curry and Draymond Green are continuing their careers. The Warriors last won a championship in 2022 and have won just two playoff series in two of the past four seasons as they've missed the playoffs altogether in the other two seasons.

This is a really interesting situation, and I'm very respectful of the organization and their place in the universe right now, Kerr said of the Warriors. And I know how this stuff works. Most coaching runs just last a certain amount of time, and then it's best for everybody to move forward. And what we have to figure out is whether now is that time, because what complicates it is we still have Steph and Draymond. Both Curry and Green have one season remaining on their contracts. Curry remains one of the NBA's best players when healthy and has interest in signing a contract extension with the Warriors. And I don't want to abandon those guys, added Kerr. If Steph and Draymond were retiring this year, I think this would be an easy decision: we all go out together and the organization takes their new path. But it's not that easy because I think Steph's going to play another couple of years and I think we can still do some good things together. But these are all conversations that will happen in the next week or two and we'll figure it out. And whatever happens, it's going to end well. I know that, because it's too important not to. The Warriors have been active in pursuing trades for the likes of Giannis Antetokounmpo and Kawhi Leonard, but it is debatable how prudent it would be for the front office to send multiple first round picks in a win-now trade considering how far away they are from truly competing for a title.
