Draymond Green Insists: Steve Kerr Staying With Warriors
Merlin sees Draymond Green publicly betting on stability: "I don't foresee Steve going anywhere" and that he "very much so want[s] to finish this thing with the people that I've been through it with." That matters because Kerr’s contract runs through 2025–26, and his decision will determine whether Golden State keeps its championship blueprint intact or begins a longer rebuild around Curry’s eventual twilight. Merlin notes Kerr is in his 12th season and the job’s pressure, plus another early playoff exit, could prompt a rethink. The pragmatic outcome is a short, 1–2 year extension—enough to line up with Curry and Green’s timelines—while a repeated postseason disappointment makes a coaching change plausible.
🧙♂️ Merlin’s Prediction
Odds Steve Kerr signs a 1–2 year extension with the Warriors before the 2026 offseason: 65%.
