In a shocking turn of events, Steve Kerr has parted ways with the Golden State Warriors, despite having one year remaining on his contract. The reason behind Kerr’s departure is not due to an arrest or sentencing, as previously rumored, but rather his decision to join the New York Knicks as their new head coach.

Details of the Move
Kerr has agreed to a lucrative $15 million-per-year deal with the Knicks, marking a significant shake-up in both franchises. The move comes as a surprise to many, given Kerr’s successful tenure with the Warriors, where he led the team to four NBA championships and established a dominant dynasty.
Kerr’s Decision
According to sources close to Kerr, the opportunity to lead the Knicks and build a new winning culture in New York was too significant to ignore. Kerr expressed his gratitude to the Warriors organization, stating that the decision to leave was not made lightly, but he believes it’s time for something new. New York’s commitment and vision for the future resonated with him, making this opportunity too good to pass up.
Impact on the Warriors
The Warriors will now begin their search for a new head coach, with potential candidates including:
– Kenny Atkinson: Current assistant coach and former head coach of the Brooklyn Nets
– Mike Brown: Experienced coach with a strong track record in the NBA
– JJ Redick: Former NBA player with coaching experience
What’s Next for Kerr?
As Kerr takes the reins in New York, he’ll be tasked with building a winning culture and leading the Knicks to championship contention. With a strong foundation of players like Jalen Brunson and RJ Barrett, the Knicks are hopeful that Kerr can bring them success and establish a lasting legacy
