Overview
- GM Mike Dunleavy Jr. said any new deal will happen only if Steve Kerr is fully committed to continuing as head coach.
- Dunleavy expressed confidence Kerr will be back and called the situation unique, indicating the team is not rushing negotiations.
- Kerr is in the final year of a two‑year, $35 million contract signed in February 2024 and has said he prefers to wait until season’s end to decide.
- Golden State’s 4–1 start has strengthened internal belief in stability and buy‑in across the roster.
- Reporting indicates a league bidding war is unlikely at this time, and broadcasting is viewed as a potential option if Kerr steps away from coaching.
