Warriors Preparing for Steve Kerr's Possible Career Decision

The end of a dynasty in the NBA is always disheartening to watch. The Warriors, who have been a dominant force over the past decade, may face tougher days in the coming seasons. And as a new report suggests, Golden State is preparing for life after Steve Kerr.

The 60-year-old took over the Warriors job back in 2014. He won the NBA Championship in his first year and then added three more titles in the following seasons. But rumors about his departure have persisted, as Kerr himself has remained silent about his future in the Bay Area.

According to ESPN's Ramona Shelburne, the Warriors are internally preparing for what has been described as an "organizational reset" if Kerr departs. While no official decision has been announced, the implications of such a move would ripple far beyond the head coaching position.

Another concern for Golden State is that a potential exit wouldn't just close one chapter; rather, it could trigger a sweeping transformation across the roster and coaching staff. Kerr's tenure in Golden State has been nothing short of historic. Following the Warriors' loss to the Suns, the coach held his veteran stars, Steph Curry and Draymond Green, close and shared a heartfelt moment.

Struggles for Golden State have become more common over the past few seasons. To return to their glory days, the Warriors will likely need major changes if Kerr ultimately decides to step away.
