Summary

Kerr Mulls Return

Warriors owner Joe Lacob and GM Mike Dunleavy Jr. met with Steve Kerr for a two-hour talk Monday.
Negotiations show a salary raise is not the obstacle, while Golden State’s 2 % chance at the first pick, 9.4 % chance of a top-four pick, and candidates Mike Brown, Todd Golden, Terry Stitts and Jerry Stackhouse could influence Kerr.
Kerr has been interviewing media agents about a comeback, adding uncertainty to his coaching future.
