Golden State Warriors’ coach Steve Kerr has no concerns about his long-term status at the team, despite coming into the final year of his contract.
Owner Joe Lacob and new general manager Mike Dunleavy Jr. have already expressed their desire and hopes to sign a contract extension and Kerr is confident something will work out — even if it doesn’t happen before the start of the new season.
“I feel great about my position here,” Kerr said Monday. “I want to be here. I know Mike and Joe want me here, and so I’m very confident something will get done. But I’m not stressed about it at all. I’m perfectly capable of coaching whether I have one year left or an extension. Makes no difference.”
