On this day in 2014 Steve Kerr made a fateful decision

Would turn out to be the best decision of his life.
My how the landscape would’ve changed if he had taken the money.

Warriors would still be really good and the Knicks would probably still suck.
Only Steve Kerr was effected by this. I have a hard time believing the NBA landscape would be that much different.

I think Kerr was necessary only because of the Butterfly effect.

GS would certainly be awesome without him. But maybe they aren't as good and KD doesn't go there because they aren't the best team of all time.
That alone changes SO much in that next big free agency year.

If a CEO leaves a company and his company collapses while he's gone, that doesn't make him a good CEO. Quite the opposite.

Its hard to say for sure, but it seemed to me like he got a lot more credit than he probably deserved IMO.

Means he has a good company? Kerr never made any crucial personnel changes, the only major change the Warriors had was signing KD which probably had more to do with Steph than Kerr.

I doubt Mark Jackson would’ve taken them this far.

I think that’s more of a reflection of just how terrible Mark Jackson was. Any average or above coach could do what Kerr is doing. Jackson was all time bad, I laugh when people suggest him for openings.

If Kerr went to the Knicks. They would be better imo. But 2014 is around the time Melo was getting ready to leave his prime, so there would only be so much he cpuld do there until Porzingis came.
The Warriors were still making big strides under Mark Jackson. If Kerr never came, they would still be a team capable of competing for championships. 73-9 probably never happen. But a teamup of Curry/Klay/Dray possibly still seems enticing for KD. And as long as those 4 are on the court together theyll always compete for championships no matter who is on the bench.

If Kerr doesn’t come they have a coach that doesn’t run their style of offense.
Maybe the Clippers make it to the WCF. Or OKC gets back there.
They don’t win a championship. Lebron when’s two in Cleveland and the Jordan versus LeBron debate is even more caustic.

Kerr wasn't doing anything different than Mark Jackson until David Lee got hurt in the last preseason game in 2014, forcing Draymond to start.
Warriors went like 22-2 playing small while Lee was out and the rest is history. The entire style of play basically fell in Kerr's lap. He gets credit for managing egos, but this team would likely be in the same spot with half the coaches in the league.

He made a very crucial change, and that was to give Draymond Green heavy minutes and insert him as a starter. Seems like a no brainer now but before Kerr, Green was an undersized second round pick who played very sparingly.
The offense also got a lot better with Kerr. Warriors went from a fringe playoff team to a juggernaut in one offseason, without any major personnel changes outside of Kerr. To act like he had nothing to do with them is a huge disservice.

That's not what the players have said. I remember listening to someone talk about how different the team was once Kerr came in. Can't remember who it is at the moment so I guess that doesn't help you out a ton
I feel like it was on the BS podcast, but maybe not.

They were the 5 seed the year before he was hired, and starting Draymond was forced by injury.
It would be like crediting Stevens for starting Tatum in Hayward's absence.

Dude you are a fool. Kerr’s offense and the passing, screening, shooting from anywhere doesn’t happen. Yes, Steph and Klay are amazing shooters, but having a two guard lineup that are good shooters is hardly revolutionary. Most of the time, these lineups don’t result in championships. Kerr’s offense is really special.
Posted on 5/14/18 at 8:42 pm to slackster
I don’t think Klay and especially Curry had a green light for launching threes wherever they pleased until Kerr got there. Jackson also wanted to build up barnes too iirc.
