Steve Kerr is entering the final season of his contract with the Golden State Warriors, but he is comfortable waiting until the 2026 offseason before determining his future with the franchise. Kerr was hired by the Warriors in 2014.

"I'm very comfortable going into the season with a year left," Kerr said. "I'm so aligned with [general manager] Mike [Dunleavy] and [owner] Joe [Lacob]. We talked about this -- there's no reason for discussion or concern. This is kind of a point in our relationship where let's just see how it is at the end of the year."

Golden State's three stars in Stephen Curry, Jimmy Butler and Draymond Green all have two seasons remaining on their contracts.

"I love my job," Kerr said. "I love what I'm doing every day. I can't wait to get to the building. Hopefully I'm here for another few years. But I think it makes sense for the organization and for me to see where this thing is at the end of the year -- where they are and where I am. Hopefully that means we run it back, we keep going with this group, that'd be awesome. But I like the fact we can do it how we want it."

Kerr previously signed a two-year, $35 million extension with the Warriors in February 2024 while he was on an expiring contract.

"I don't anticipate any negotiation during the season," Kerr said. "Who knows -- maybe it all comes up at some point, and they come to me. But I'm not the slightest bit concerned about it. I don't think about it. I just think it makes perfect sense for all of us [to wait]."

Kerr acknowledged that the Warriors are nearing the end of their run together.

"However this ends it's going to be done in a really quality way," Kerr said. "It's going to happen the right way. If it's meant for me to keep going, I'm going to keep going. If it's meant to be for the team to move on to someone else, there will be nothing but gratitude and appreciation. This makes it easy for everybody. Let's see where we are at the end of the year."
