In a stunning development that has rocked the NBA world, Steve Kerr has officially stepped down as head coach of the Golden State Warriors, despite having one year remaining on his contract. Kerr has agreed to a blockbuster deal with the New York Knicks, who will reportedly pay him \$15 million per year to become their new head coach.
Sources close to the situation confirm that the agreement was finalized earlier today, with the Knicks offering Kerr full control over the coaching staff and a strong voice in basketball operations. The deal marks a dramatic shift for the Knicks organization, which is looking to build on recent playoff momentum and solidify its status as a contender in the Eastern Conference.
Kerr, 59, leaves behind a storied legacy in Golden State, where he won four NBA championships and helped redefine modern basketball with a dynasty centered around Stephen Curry, Klay Thompson, and Draymond Green. His exit signals a new era for the Warriors, who now face their own uncertain future amid roster and front-office questions.
Meanwhile, the Knicks are hoping Kerr’s championship pedigree and offensive acumen can push them to their first NBA Finals appearance since 1999.
