Draymond Green reveals if he wants Steve Kerr back as Warriors coach

Draymond Green believes Steve Kerr will stay with the Warriors as ESPN interest and contract talks keep questions around his future alive this offseason.

The Golden State Warriors are facing a pivotal offseason, and one of the biggest questions on everyone's mind is whether head coach Steve Kerr will return for the 2026-27 season. With Kerr's contract set to expire and ESPN reportedly eyeing him for a broadcasting role, the uncertainty has sparked plenty of speculation. But now, Draymond Green has stepped up to share his thoughts—and it's a shift from where he stood just a month ago.

Back in April 2026, after a tough loss to the Phoenix Suns, Green admitted it "felt like the end." That comment sent shockwaves through the Warriors fanbase, leaving many to wonder if the dynasty's core was about to unravel. But in a recent appearance on ESPN's Inside the NBA on May 6, 2026, Green changed his tune. "I think and hope he's coming back," Green said. "What I do know is, he wants to coach. So if he wants to coach, I think he comes back."

That's a vote of confidence that carries weight. Kerr, who signed a record-breaking extension in 2024, has held multiple positive meetings with owner Joe Lacob and general manager Mike Dunleavy. While no official decision has been announced, reports suggest the Warriors are increasingly operating under the assumption that Kerr will stay. And Kerr himself has been clear: he doesn't want to walk away while Stephen Curry is still on the floor, as long as the organization's goals align.

Of course, the drama doesn't stop there. ESPN is reportedly "aggressively pursuing" Kerr for a return to broadcasting, which adds another layer to the story. But for now, Green's optimism is a welcome sign for Warriors fans who want to see the band stay together.

In a bit of irony, Green also recently made headlines for saying that Kerr's system may have "hindered" his own offensive development earlier in his career. But on this night, he was all about celebrating his coach. Sometimes, the media can turn a four-minute tribute into a bigger story than it is—and Green's latest comments show that the bond between player and coach is stronger than ever.

For now, the Warriors' future is still unwritten, but with Green's backing and Kerr's desire to keep coaching, it looks like the dynasty might just have another chapter left to write.
