Golden State Warriors head coach Steve Kerr met with owner Joe Lacob and general manager Mike Dunleavy Jr. for two hours on Monday to discuss his future with the franchise, according to Shams Charania of The Athletic and ESPN.
According to reports from Anthony Slater and Ramona Shelburne, the high-level meeting did not result in an immediate resolution regarding Kerr's coaching status. The sides are currently expected to meet again next week to continue negotiations and determine the next steps for the organization.
Steve Kerr has been the architect of the Warriors' dynasty, leading the team to four NBA titles since taking over in 2014. However, as he enters the final stages of his current contract, questions regarding his long-term tenure have become a primary focus for the Golden State front office. The meeting on Monday signifies the start of formal discussions to address his role moving forward.
The Warriors are coming off a season that ended in the Western Conference Play-In Tournament, prompting a period of reflection for the veteran core and coaching staff. Further updates on the progress of these talks are anticipated following the scheduled follow-up meeting next week.
