Steve Kerr Rumors: 'All Indications' Warriors HC Will Return After Loss to Lakers

Golden State Warriors coach Steve Kerr is expected to return next season despite the two sides having no contract extension in place.

Anthony Slater and Shams Charania of The Athletic reported "all indications" are Kerr will return, though it's unclear if he will sign an extension this offseason. Kerr is heading into the final year of his contract.

The Warriors face an uncertain future with general manager Bob Myers' contract set to expire this offseason and Draymond Green set for free agency, assuming he does not exercise his player option.

The NBA's new collective bargaining agreement also sets strict limits on the league's highest-spending teams, which will limit Golden State's roster maneuverability.

Slater and Charania reported the Warriors are expected to make changes to their rotation this offseason, though what those changes will be remains unclear. Jordan Poole could find himself on the trade block less than a year after signing a four-year, $140 million contract extension, and the Warriors have to decide whether they want to offer Klay Thompson an extension this offseason as well.

Green expressed a vehement interest in remaining with the Warriors after their elimination by the Los Angeles Lakers on Friday.

"I want to be a Warrior for the rest of my life," Green said. "I want to ride out with the same dudes I rode in with."

Kerr has been the Warriors' coach since 2014, winning four championships and providing a calming hand as the franchise built a dynasty. The Warriors have made the Finals in six of his nine seasons as head coach, and it seems likely he'd want to follow in the footsteps of the Gregg Popovich-Tim Duncan relationship and ride out at least the remainder of Stephen Curry's career in Golden State.

That said, it's telling that both Kerr and Myers, the architects of this dynasty, have not gotten much support in terms of contract extension talks.
