Draymond Green Defends Steve Kerr's Stay with Warriors: 'I Don't See Him Going Anywhere'
In a recent interview, Golden State Warriors star Draymond Green expressed his unwavering support for head coach Steve Kerr, despite the latter's contract expiration at the end of the 2025-26 season. Green, a key player for the Warriors, believes the team has more to achieve together.
"I don't foresee Steve going anywhere," Green stated. "I don't think we're done. We've got a lot more to give. We've built this together, so I don't see him leaving."
Green's comments come as a response to the speculation surrounding Kerr's future. The coach, who is in his 12th season with the Warriors, has been a pivotal figure in the team's success, alongside Green and Stephen Curry. Curry, in an October interview, echoed Green's sentiment, expressing his desire to continue playing under Kerr.
"I think we're in a unique situation," Curry said. "We deserve the opportunity to ride it out."
Curry's contract extends through the 2026-27 season, and while it seems likely that Kerr will remain with the team, the possibility of change remains. The team's former general manager, Bob Myers, surprisingly decided not to extend his stay after the 2022-23 season, leaving a question mark over the future.
Green's loyalty to Kerr and the team is evident, and he emphasizes the importance of continuity and the bond formed through their shared success. As the Warriors continue their pursuit of another championship, the future of Kerr and the team's core players remains a topic of interest and speculation.
