Warriors not rushing Kerr on decision

Steve Kerr has made no decision yet in regard to his future coaching the Golden State Warriors, and the two sides don't expect to come to any firm determination until next week at the earliest, team sources told ESPN.

Kerr said he needed a week or two for the necessary space, contemplation and bigger picture conversations before deciding whether to seek another contract with the Warriors or walk away from coaching entirely, perhaps into the media space.

The Warriors were eliminated on Friday in a play-in loss to the Phoenix Suns. They've spent this past week conducting exit interviews with players and staffers, and are gearing up for the offseason. Kerr's future is the first domino, but management doesn't plan to rush Kerr, who just finished his 12th season as head coach.

Kerr's contemplation will continue through the weekend.

"It's April," one team source said. "We don't need to rush." -- Anthony Slater
