Steve Kerr on Klay Thompson: “He’s got to be more prepared than ever coming into training camp.”
Kerr thought Klay was fantastic in the second half, just knows that at 33 years old, he can’t rely on everything he could have before the injuries and at this point in his career – 4:26 PM

Kerr emphasizes that he still sees Poole as of the the six foundational pieces of this franchise.
He says he wants to see Poole work on offensive efficiency and better shots. On defense, it’s about putting forth a more consistent effort. – 4:19 PM

Steve Kerr addresses his future. There’s one year left on his deal. He said it’s not yet time to discuss an extension. He wants to keep coaching Warriors long term, but understands realities of business. “Look at your phone every day and see the next Hall of Fame coach fired.” pic.twitter.com/SFigwUm601 – 4:17 PM

“You can’t do anything about it,” he says. “That’s what you have to resort to, that’s what you have to tell yourself, that you can’t do anything about it. Like, what are you going to stress out about it for? This is all from regular people. Most of it is from regular people. Obviously, you have commentators or analysts who will go and say something, but these guys aren’t in the rooms, they’re not in the front office.” -via The Ringer / May 16, 2023
However, some within the Warriors organization say those relationships haven’t recovered, and that the incident furthered a growing divide between the members of each timeline within the team. “I don’t have no answer for you,” Jordan Poole tells me when asked where his relationship with Green stands now. “Other than that, we was just on the court and teammates, and we was out there trying to win games. “What I do recall saying at the beginning of the season is that, ‘We’re coming. We’re going to come out here. We’re going to play on the court. We’re going to try to win a championship.’ We were teammates. It’s just business, honestly. And that’s really all it was, it is, it has been. It’s just been business. It’s been basketball.” -via The Ringer / May 15, 2023
