Steve Kerr emphasized a year-to-year coaching approach during his exit interview, reflecting on the Golden State Warriors’ season which ended with a playoff loss. He highlighted the pivotal February trade for Jimmy Butler as a turning point, leading to a strong finish in the season. With Butler joining stars Steph Curry and Draymond Green, Kerr believes they can build on their successes, acknowledging the need for improvements but feeling confident in the team's direction. His contract situation allows for flexibility, showcasing a partnership approach with management as they plan for the future.
At this point, it's year to year, Kerr said. I love my job, and it's so, so much fun. I loved this season, and this was a really gratifying year.
After playing .500 basketball for much of the season and on the verge of missing the postseason for the second straight year, the February trade for Jimmy Butler saved the season and gave the Warriors direction for the 2025-26 season.
Jimmy Butler is one of the best players in the NBA, and you put him next to Steph and next to Draymond, you saw the results, Kerr said. All the data supports that.
We definitely have to make some improvements, but we feel like we can pick up where we left off.
