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

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

Steve Kerr, in the last year of his contract, says there has been no talk of an extension – nor should there be. Loves coaching the Warriors, but the future of GM Bob Myers’ (contract thru June) is the priority. – 4:15 PM

Steve says the incident between Draymond and Jordan in the beginning of the season did impact the team.
The context was about the difficulties of the season and if everyone trusted eachother.

This offseason, the Warriors could start to ensure that Steph-Draymond-Klay will remain. Or they could begin transitioning off them. Either choice fraught with risk. There’s a price for dynasty. – 5:29 PM

Kerr’s response mirrored the growing sentiment throughout the organization as the Warriors hope to extend the greatest run in franchise history. But doing so will require answering immediate questions, including ones about the futures of Myers, Thompson, and, of course, Green. League sources believe that the Warriors will be open to negotiating a multiyear deal with Green, should he decline his player option over the summer. -via The Ringer / May 16, 2023
Sources close to the situation have consistently insisted that Stephen Curry, Klay Thompson and Draymond Green all continuing to be Warriors next season is the most likely scenario. -via marcstein.substack.com / May 15, 2023
