This Week's Pulse

Steve Kerr has officially signed a two-year contract extension to remain the head coach of the Golden State Warriors, ending months of speculation regarding his future with the franchise.

Podcast commentary has focused heavily on how close Steve Kerr came to walking away entirely. Logan Murdock noted on The Ringer NBA Show that rumors were "percolating all the way to New York City" that he might not return. Howard Beck confirmed this sentiment on the same program, citing a Wright Thompson profile where Steve Kerr admitted, "I think I'm done."

Not everyone is convinced that the extension solves the team's underlying issues. Tate Frazier argued on The Bill Simmons Podcast that simply "running it back" might recreate the same problems, noting that Steve Kerr was already questioning his situation during the season.

Looking ahead, the pressure is on for Steve Kerr to successfully integrate the team's newest draft talent into a roster that remains under heavy scrutiny from the media.
