This season a 133 118 loss to the Toronto Raptors and Cyrus a little bit of maybe Warriors headline roulette here we’ve got you know Draymond Green suspension being lifted after 12 games we got Chris Paul out for four six weeks with the hand injury but where I want to

Start is Steve cerr because it kind of feels like with some reporting going on around the scenes in listening to and hearing you know people like you are close to the team and covering the team on a daily basis it feels like maybe Steve CER is is losing or has lost this

Warriors locker room what’s your read on the situation uh it it’s it’s not pretty there’s no doubt about that and it’s turned into a circus you’re absolutely right I’ve been talking with like some of my media colleagues about how interesting of a year this has been and

This might be the most interesting which is really saying something considering the the last 10 years of this you know quote unquote Dynasty if they’re still in it but um in terms of St it’s it’s a circus it’s a lot of drama there’s no doubt about that and you know I I

Honestly forgot to even bring up Chris Paul in tonight’s lock on Warriors and the fact that was is reporting is out four to six weeks look look all I could say is Steve Kerr uh is EMB battled um there’s a lot of people myself included questioning his

Decision making I don’t know if I don’t know if you saw the sound bite from his former player Boogie cousins a few days ago where he flat out called uh for a change in leadership with the Golden State Warriors or at least a consideration of that and his argument

Made sense I agree I just ultimately for me look Steve Kerr has never been in his 10 years plus years as head coach of the Warriors he’s never developed All-Star talent in that entire 10 years and he’s at a point now where he has a couple players that that are good enough for

Him to to develop and to work with and and to build and he’s instead just doubling down tripling down on veteran players that are clearly on the downside of their careers the Andrew Wiggins part of it is the most perplexing without question simply because he’s still 28 he

Turns 29 years old next month but he looks like a player who has peaked and who should be retiring after this year but he’s still young and he’s got three more years on his contract after the season so he’s not going anywhere that to me is is the number one problem is

The Andrew Wiggins issue because he’s not playing good enough to get any minutes but he’s but Kerr is still sticking with him and that’s affecting the development of players like kaminga and Moody and it’s a hot mess we had the reports coming out about kuminga you know being upset with with

Steve Kerr and you know it’s not it’s not the first that we’ve heard of some frustrations with Kerr this season Klay Thompson has aired some frustrations as well at this point Cyrus I mean if you’re the Warriors has Steve ker earned enough like organizational cache that

You know not that he can do whatever he wants not that he’s immune to you know any kind of backlash but just do you ride it out with Steve Kerr do you do you ride out the end of The Big Three era whatever that looks like with Steve

Kerr or if you’re the Warriors do you maybe start taking those steps organizationally towards setting yourself up for the Post Steph Curry era right do you start looking for a different head coach now somebody that can develop the young Talent or do you even consider possibly trading some of

These you know waning Superstars to be able to get back some assets to set yourself up to springboard yourself into the next era of Warriors basketball yeah it would it would honestly surprised me if the Warriors didn’t pull a trade uh before the deadline next month Mike Dy

Jr their GM alluded to the fact that if the team was still below 500 when Draymond Green came back uh that they were going to take action and that is exactly what’s going on right now uh in regards to Steve Kerr I think there’s two answers for that because I can give

You my personal answer which is that he look Steve Kerr over the last five years has been a below 500 head coach literally I think they’re a game below 500 as at at the time of this recording um in terms of his overall record for five years that’s half a decade that’s

Not a small sample size um I know I know the Warriors won the title in 2022 but look Frank vogle won a title uh buen holer won a title that was not good enough for them to keep their jobs uh because those titles are surrounded by a

Lot of tumultuous Seasons with uh you know underperforming teams and I feel like Steve Kerr is in a very comparable situation but like you said he’s earned a lot of good grace uh with the ownership with the organization there’s going to be fans that I think no matter

What will will support him because of the fact he’s been the head coach for four title teams um so I if we’re looking at this pragmatically like realistically in terms of what’s actually going to happen I it would shock me if the team took action this

Season I I don’t think we’re going to see an in season uh change in leadership um but is it called for I I do believe so and and one perfect example of this is Steve Kerr’s number one assistant on paper is Kenny ainson who himself is under a lot of scrutiny because he’s

Like their quote unquote defensive coordinator and since he took over for mik for Mike Brown The Warriors defense has been inval it’s been below average is it has not been up to par terms of what the warrior standards are but K’s main assistant coach that is his Confidant is his best friend Bruce

Fraser this is someone that was his teammate at Arizona this is someone who uh only got a job in the NBA because Kerr was the GM for the Suns back in the in the 2000s and and he’s technically Steve uh Stephen Curry’s shooting coach uh but but Steve Curry now has his best

Friend is his number one assistant he’s the guy he talks to all the time during the game and a Yes Man culture just does not translate to success that is not what leadership is uh is is symbolically representative of yet that’s what we’re seeing right here um so to to make sorry

To make this such a long-winded answer but to to to summarize I don’t think he’s going anywhere but I certainly do think after this season especially given he’s a lame duck coach um that he probably if this continues the way it’s going my guess is he’ll probably step

Down to say face uh and then we’ll see him back in the broadcast booth next year last here for you Cyrus well we know we’ve got Draymond Green kind of coming back into the fold hasn’t you know suspension officially lifted still working himself back into game shape so

No idea what that’s going to look like yet when he steps back onto the basketball court but the Warriors are losing Chris Paul for at least four to six weeks with the hand injury how how much of a loss is that for this Warriors team that’s already kind of had a bit of

A tumultuous season to this point uh the the the Chris Paul injury um like Chris Paul has been a weird player for the Warriors because he’s Blended behind the he’s Blended uh you know like he like you don’t he doesn’t stick out for the losses or the wins

I’ve seen a tremendous value in Chris Paul in the sense of the development of players like Jonathan kaminga and Trace Jackson Davis um Chris Paul is coaching them more than the actual coaches are doing and you’re seeing those two Thrive when Chris Paul is on the court playing

Alongside them so to me Chris Paul’s value is is in what he’s doing for the young players um the Draymond Green part of it is crazy for a lot of reasons uh for starters when the suspension first came down um Mike duny Jr and Steve Kerr

Both said that Draymond was going to be around the team um that he was going to be practicing with the team he has not been around the team once since the suspension started uh we have no idea where he’s been what he’s been doing his only appearance was at LeBron James’s

Birthday party I don’t think that was a good look especially when he consider the fact that he’s not ready to play right now he came back he’s not in playing shape it’s going to take a week or two for him to amp up and and and get

His rep so he can actually play why was he not with the team so that he could have started playing today I you know that so there’s just a lot going on and the Chris Paul part of it if he gets traded it wouldn’t surprise me because

Of the fact that he’s making 30 plus million it’s an expiring deal it’s a perfect asset to to make a trade attach some picks to it so you can get something back um but if he stays I think there is a lot value there and I’m

Going to throw this idea to you I haven’t even thrown this idea out on the show yet this is just me just throwing it out and I’d love to know what you think about this I honestly think that after this season if Chris Paul decides

To hang it up I don’t know if he wants to keep playing or not but he’s going to turn 39 this year I think he would be a fantastic candidate to take over his head coach um what do you think of the Warriors yeah I look I think Chris Paul

Has future head coach written all over him absolutely whether he you know whether he does it as a as a player or whether he comes back and wants to you know try to win some titles as a coach whatever I think he’s absolutely going to be one of those guys he’s going to

He’s going to be in and around the game for the rest of his life I don’t think he’s going to like hang it up and step away and like you know be like yic and just go tend to his horses out out you know whatever that’s not going to be the

Case for Chris Paul he wants to be around this game forever so I could absolutely see him doing that but maybe maybe it will be with the Warriors maybe it’ll be with another team should they move on from Steve cerr does he have enough cache should they ride it out

With Kerr who’s been there coach throughout this dynasty era of Warriors basketball what’s it going to look like when Draymond Green steps back onto the court you’re going to have us covered for all that and so much more over at locked on Warrior Cyrus thanks for

Stopping by locked on NBA with me it is always a pleasure anytime you ask I’m coming on brother thank You
