“In this League we all Could be Gone Except for Stephen Curry”: Steve Kerr’s Hilarious Response When Asked About Keeping it Together

Warriors head coach Steve Kerr had the perfect response when asked about Jordan Poole and Andrew Wiggins’ extensions having a future impact on cap space. 

The Golden State Warriors could serve as a case study for sports management colleges today. Whether it be their front office, ownership, or players, the Bay Area team is a well-oiled machine. It won’t be wrong to say that Stephen Curry and co have predominantly been on top of the NBA heap in the last decade.

Coming off their 4th championship in the last 8-years, the Warriors aren’t going anytime soon. While the Big 3 boasting Steph, Klay, and Draymond continue to be the backbone of the franchise, GM Bob Myers and co have surrounded them with some crucial pieces in Jordan Poole and Andrew Wiggins.

Recently, Poole and Wiggins made headlines, signing multi-year $100 million+ contracts, respectively. As owner Joe Lacob continues to foot huge luxury tax bills, the front office makes strides to keep its championship core intact. Thus the question arises for how long?
