In a new interview after Warriors exit interviews, coach Steve Kerr pegged his chances of returning at 50-50, expressing optimism for positive talks with owner Joe Lacob and GM Mike Dunleavy while committing to stars Stephen Curry and Draymond Green.
Updating his post-Play-In loss comments where he first addressed his expired two-year extension, Steve Kerr spoke to The New Yorker shortly after exit interviews. 'Whatever happens, it's going to end well,' he said, highlighting his fulfillment in coaching at age 60 but noting most tenures end eventually. Kerr, who ruled out other teams, now sees a 50-50 chance of staying per his recent ESPN remarks. The Warriors want a multiyear commitment if he returns, not a one-year tour. Reports have shifted: The Athletic saw a strong likelihood on April 18, but by April 23, staff prepared for change amid a collaborative review of style and staffing. This follows mixed signals in the series, including Draymond Green's doubts, Mike Dunleavy's expectations of return, and assistants bracing for departure. Kerr skipped an extension last summer; Curry is extension-eligible this offseason, with both stars locked through 2026-27 assuming Green's option.
