Warriors coach Kerr recently spoke to NBC Bay Area about his coaching career with the Warriors.
"Maybe it's when my contract ends in two years, maybe then I feel like it's time to leave, maybe maybe the Warriors feel the need to find new blood and change the direction of the team, then the Warriors and I should both understand that it's time."
Kerr signed a two-year, $35 million contract extension with the Warriors in April this year, tied to Curry's contract, so that Kerr's contract will expire with Curry (the end of the 2025-26 season).
As the core figure of the Warriors dynasty, Kerr seems to have accepted the fact that the dynasty is lonely, and has already thought about the "future" of a decent breakup, which is really embarrassing.
The Warriors are actually at a crossroads of fate in the 2023-24 season, and the iron triangle chased by Kutang is crumbling, and it is still unknown whether they can continue to chase Curry next season in a three-way manner.
This season, the Warriors have had a tumultuous season: general manager changes, player departures, uncertainty about season goals, and the sudden death of assistant coaches.
In the end, they fell in front of their old enemy, the king, and could not go any further.
Entering the offseason, Thompson's departure and the Warriors' lineup adjustment have become one of the most concerned topics for the media and fans.
With the Warriors out of the playoffs, Thompson's contract ends and he will become a free agent in the summer of 2024.
This season, Thompson's performance has dropped dramatically. Although he accepted the role of substitute after a storm in the middle of the season, the performance in the play-offs brought him back to his original form.
Before the start of the season, the Warriors offered Thompson a two-year contract extension worth $48 million, but Thompson was clear and rejected it outright.
I don't know if it's the smoke bombs of the Thompson team or the Magic's true feelings, after the season, NBA Hall of Fame Shams reported that the Magic and Thompson are both interested in each other.
This offseason, the Magic could create up to $60 million in salary space, build a roster around Banchero and Wagner, and look to add a scorer on the wing, and Thompson happens to be the right fit.
After all, a wing veteran with championship experience and projection ability is not so easy to find.
Of course, the Warriors did not choose to give up on Thompson, and the management has long made public its attitude and is willing to negotiate a contract extension with Thompson. Even Curry has stated that he can't imagine the days of losing Green and Thompson.
However, no one knows whether this negotiation will succeed in the end.
If Thompson insists on pursuing a higher annual salary and a more secure contract length, then no matter how sincere the Warriors are, they will not be able to stop the Iron Triangle from coming to an end.
