After a dozen years and four rings coaching Stephen Curry and the Golden State Warriors, Kerr\u2019s reaction whenever asked about his contract is some variation of what he said before the season, that he likely would want to continue coaching Curry \u201cfor another few years, but I think it makes sense for the organization and for me just to see where this thing is at the end of the year, where they are, where I am.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Warriors General Manager Michael Dunleavy Jr. said he expects him to come back, during an <a class=\"Link\" href=\"https:\/\/podcasts.apple.com\/kh\/podcast\/tk-show-a-conversation-with-mike-dunleavy\/id1640397728?i=1000752956028\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">appearance on \u201cThe TK Show,\u201d<\/a> featuring long-time Bay Area writer Tim Kawakami of the San Francisco Standard.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI don\u2019t see why not. I think Steve\u2019s mentioned wanting to get to the end of the season and figure it out. I think things, for him, are going well. We\u2019ll figure all that out when it comes. I think it\u2019s been interesting, like the focus for us internally between myself, (team owner) Joe (Lacob), the players, Steve, has really been on like getting this thing right the rest of the season. So we haven\u2019t put a whole bunch of thought into it.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBut you know, obviously, on a personal level, (I) love having Steve here. Yeah, I would project that he\u2019s our coach next year. But again, we\u2019re going down to absolute certainties, and a lot of it\u2019s in his court, so we\u2019ll have to see.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Nobody is stressing about this.<\/p>\n<p>While Kerr would have his choice of jobs, the expectation in league circles is that he will only coach the Warriors, then step away whenever the 37-year-old Curry does, likely moving into the Warriors front office in some capacity. But nothing is certain, so everyone\u2019s eyes will be on Kerr this summer. <\/p>\n<p>Just expect him to be back on the Warriors\u2019 sideline next season.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Steve Kerr is in the final year of his contract, but he\u2019s not exactly stressing about it.
