Bill Simmons believes Steve Kerr’s future is tied to LeBron James
Bill Simmons made a bold decision Steve Kerr’s coaching career with the Golden State Warriors which includes a scenario with LeBron James.
Kerr has been the head coach of the Warriors since 2014, leading the franchise to four championships and six NBA Finals appearances during his tenure. However, times have been tough since their last title run in 2022, failing to make it past the second round and even missing the playoffs once.
Kerr hopes to compete for another championship with Golden State, which could include moving James from the Los Angeles Lakers. However, if the scenario does not materialize, Simmons gave his view of what would happen to Kerr’s time with the Warriors.
“I think he (LeBron James) is either staying in LA or going to Golden State… This is kind of about LeBron. If they don’t get LeBron, I think that’s it for Steve Kerr. I don’t have the inside information, but this would be the right kind of area for him to be like, I’m going to take a year, I’m going to do some media, I want to find out if I’m going to find out,” Simmons said at the 1:04:20 mark of his podcast.
What’s next for Steve Kerr, Warriors
Steve Kerr accomplished so much with the Warriors, creating the newest NBA dynasty in the modern era. However, his time ending with the Warriors could be closer than he realizes, especially if the team can’t land LeBron James for next season.
Golden State is 30-27 on the season, holding the eighth spot in the Western Conference standings. They are above the Portland Trail Blazers and Los Angeles Clippers while trailing the Phoenix Suns and Minnesota Timberwolves.
The Warriors will be looking forward to their next match, as they are on the road. They face the New Orleans Pelicans and tip-off will take place on February 24th at 8:00 PM ET.
