A 'small amount'

As of noon Wednesday, there remains a modicum of optimism that Steve Kerr will re-sign as coach of the Golden State Warriors, according to four team/league sources.

All concede there are sizable hurdles to clear before Kerr considers returning, but he has not yet ruled it out.

Rod Martin was one of the least publicized great Oakland/LA Raiders. Made huge plays in 2 Super Bowls. Often met up with Rod at Seau's sports bar in San Diego when Raiders traveled there to play the Chargers (late '90s to around 2012). Wonderful company. Will be missed. Rest easy my guy.

Sources: Steve Kerr not expected to return to Warriors, barring change of heart and renewed faith Many with the Warriors and around the league believe Steve Kerr will be jobless after he meets with Golden State CEO Joe Lacob and GM Mike Dunleavy.

Barring a renewed faith that would prompt a change of heart, the belief is that Steve Kerr won't return as Warriors coach, sources tell @montepoole.bsky.social.

Veteran center Al Horford won't rule out NBA retirement after his first season with Warriors Al Horford is leaving his NBA options open after his first season with the Golden State Warriors.

The only thing that was clear today about Al Horford's NBA future is that it's anything but, @montepoole.bsky.social writes

After 19 seasons in the NBA, the last with the Golden State Warriors, Al Horford says he'll take some time with family before deciding his future. He has a player option with the Warriors, knows he still can play and did not rule out retirement.
He turns 40 in June.

Even for at least one more night, these are still the Warriors, and this is still what they do (via @daltonjohnson.bsky.social)

Steph Curry settled previous debate among Warriors fans with epic performance vs. Clippers Steph Curry made it clear why he and the Golden State Warriors were right not to shut him down for the remainder of the season.

Why experienced Warriors have advantage that matters in NBA play-in tournament vs. Clippers The Golden State Warriors' postseason experience gives them an edge over the Los Angeles Clippers in the NBA play-in tournament on Wednesday.

The Warriors know this could be their last ride, but they won’t allow themselves to accept this as an epilogue.

They have their reasons, @montepoole.bsky.social writes

A worker died at an Amazon warehouse in Oregon last week.

For more than an hour, workers were instructed to continue working as the man lay dead.

One worker wanted to help, but a manager told them to “Just turn around and not look. Let’s get back to work," according to @thewesternedge.bsky.social.

Can't wait to follow the next act! Meanwhile, breathe free and easy.

Warriors wing Moses Moody, who underwent left knee surgery 10 days ago, received a 30-second standing ovation when shown on the video screen at Chase Center. He was standing, propped up by crutches.
