Golden State Warriors and question marks about coach Steve Kerr’s future before the season officially starts
For Golden State fans, certainly no one wants to say goodbye to coach Steve Kerr, who is very popular with heroes like Stephen Curry, Draymond Green…
After winning the championship four times in the past nine years, the Golden State Warriors “empire” is showing signs of decline.
One of the chief architects of the Warriors’ championship squad, professional president Bob Myers, has left the team, “passing the throne” to new president Mike Dunleavy Jr.
The team’s biggest star, Stephen Curry, is currently 35 years old, right behind at 33 years old are Klay Thompson and Draymond Green. And we can’t ignore coach Steve Kerr, who is approaching the final year of his contract with Golden State.
Coach Steve Kerr will enter the final year of his contract with the Golden State Warriors in the upcoming 2023-24 season
At 57 years old this year, coach Steve Kerr is still “too old” to continue contributing to NBA basketball as well as the Golden State Warriors. But the contract extension has not been promoted, making the future of the American captain uncertain. into a question mark.
As is customary in the NBA, coaches’ bonuses are extended before entering the final year of their contract. This helps them both ensure a future to focus on their expertise, while also avoiding distractions and losing control of the dressing room.

Sharing about the future, coach Steve Kerr expressed his desire to continue working with Golden State, but he did not want to confirm anything about the contract.
“Certainly I still want to be here, want to work and continue to contribute to this team. I believe that the team’s leadership also wants me to continue working and hope there will be progress (on contract extension – PV) in the near future,” coach Steve Kerr said.
“But if nothing happens, I will still be comfortable and fully capable of working in the final year of my contract. Directing in my final year or being extended will not affect me and the work I do.”
Of course, Mr. Kerr’s talent and influence are undeniable, especially his contribution to a series of consecutive years in the NBA finals and 4 championship rings.
Coach Steve Kerr has sat as captain of the Golden State Warriors since 2014, replacing coach Mark Jackson. Immediately after taking office, he led the Warriors to 67 wins and the championship.
The following season, Golden State set a record with a season of 73 wins out of a total of 82 Regular Season matches, and returned to the NBA Finals series. As captain, coach Steve Kerr took the Warriors to 6 Finals series in 9 seasons.
Despite many changes in the squad, coach Steve Kerr still led the Golden State Warriors to 4 NBA championships and 6 NBA Finals series in 9 years in office.
However, the lack of renewal with this long-time captain is raising more doubts about the survival of the “Warriors empire”, especially after they parted ways with former president Bob Myers.
Mr. Myers entered last season with the final year on his contract with the belief that the president would soon be extended by the Warriors. But in the end, no common voice emerged and Bob Myers parted ways with the team.
Surely Golden State fans will not want a similar scenario to happen to coach Steve Kerr, especially to prolong the Warriors “empire” that is entering a period of decline.
