Warriors at a crossroads as Kerr’s future hangs over the end of a fading dynasty

The Golden State Warriors still feature Stephen Curry, Draymond Green and Steve Kerr, yet the dynasty that defined the past decade feels increasingly distant. With Klay Thompson gone since 2024, Curry holding one guaranteed year and Green able to opt out this summer, the core that dominated the NBA appears close to dissolution. Kerr is also out of contract, and his future represents a central question. Reporting from The Athletic indicates no tension between coach and franchise, with Kerr and general manager Mike Dunleavy committed to addressing the issue only once the season ends. Internally, nothing has shifted: discussions will take place at the appropriate time.

Kerr’s stance, however, is clear. He wants to stay and has no desire to walk away from Curry or the organisation, though he understands how quickly situations change after a disappointing campaign. As the Warriors enter a third straight Play‑In, the franchise must confront whether its past can still anchor its future.
