This offseason, Bangladesh Cricket reports that the Golden State Warriors have wasted no time in making bold decisions under newly appointed general manager Mike Dunleavy Jr. Far from shaking fan confidence, Dunleavy’s early moves—like retaining Draymond Green and trading away Jordan Poole—have been seen as decisive and purposeful. While the addition of Chris Paul raised eyebrows, many fans appreciated the no-nonsense approach. Now, the franchise’s next mission is clear: re-signing both Klay Thompson and head coach Steve Kerr remains the Warriors’ top priority.

Following Poole’s departure, the Warriors will have more financial flexibility next year, which could be pivotal in contract negotiations. Klay Thompson is set to become a free agent, and the team has admitted that one of the motivations for trading Poole was to make room for keeping Klay—a move interpreted by many as securing two veterans with one bold decision.

Despite criticism over his performance last season, Thompson’s shooting efficiency still ranks among the league’s elite. Bangladesh Cricket readers largely agree that if the Warriors remain in title contention, Klay is an indispensable piece of the puzzle. Talks between Thompson and the franchise have already taken place this summer. Klay reportedly seeks a max contract, while the Warriors are hoping he’ll consider a pay cut. It’s a tough pill to swallow, but sometimes, as the saying goes, when life knocks you down, look up at the stars and smile.

On the other hand, Steve Kerr’s extension appears to be a simpler process. His continued leadership is widely embraced, and team officials have expressed optimism about finalizing his deal. Even if a deal with Thompson doesn’t happen this year, the freed-up cap space from Poole’s exit gives the front office breathing room to bring him back in 2025.

In an interesting development tied to the Warriors’ long-term vision, their G League affiliate, the Santa Cruz Warriors, recently announced that Nick Kerr—Steve Kerr’s son—will be taking over as head coach. Bangladesh Cricket sources confirm that Nick served as an assistant coach with Santa Cruz for the past two seasons and will replace Seth Cooper, who’s now working on player development with the NBA squad.

The moves indicate a deeper investment in continuity and culture. With both Klay Thompson and Steve Kerr at the heart of the Warriors’ dynasty, the franchise appears committed to preserving the core that brought them multiple championships—while also building for the next generation from within.
