Beyond this point, there’s only history. The Golden State Warriors have reached the end of an irreplaceable era, and that embrace between Steve Kerr, Stephen Curry, and Draymond Green represents far more than just four titles and 708 wins.

It’s the bittersweet yet fitting closing – if he truly decides to step away – of a cycle that Kerr himself began, building a trio that forever changed the game of basketball.

This ending had already taken shape during the season with the injuries to Jimmy Butler and then Steph Curry. Pride alone kept GSW hanging onto hope for a miracle, but the elimination at the hands of the Phoenix Suns ultimately ended both the agony – and the illusions.

If the additions of Butler and Kristaps Porzingis had briefly revived short- and mid-term ambitions, the outlook is now far less clear. The franchise must confront a defining question: how much longer can the Warriors keep pushing the limits?

The meeting between Kerr and the front office will bring more clarity on the future of both the coaching staff and the entire organization

Five questions – and five answers – to help sketch out the post-Dynasty era in the Bay.

Will Kerr still be the Head Coach?

If Kerr and the Warriors had no intention of continuing together, they likely wouldn’t even need to meet. In the Bay, there’s a belief that both sides are still aligned on the path forward. It could hardly be otherwise for a partnership that has delivered so much success.

Is it time to trade Draymond Green?

After the trade of Jonathan Kuminga, No. 23 is the next likely candidate. He had already acknowledged the possibility at the trade deadline, almost signaling he was ready to say goodbye to San Francisco. Golden State has $27 million worth of reasons to shop him, and if they aim to acquire a high-salary star, including Draymond Green would be the most logical move.

Is Porzingis just passing through?

In 16 games since arriving in the Bay, Kristaps Porzingis has shown flashes with his three-point shooting and defensive effort, but durability remains a concern. An extension is possible, though likely far from the $60 million Boston offered him in 2023. There’s also regret over the lack of chemistry with Curry – after all, they’ve shared just 14 minutes on the court together.

Can the Warriors still rely on Curry?

The wear and tear from 17 seasons in the league is starting to show. The knee injury highlighted that Steph Curry can no longer carry the Warriors by himself. It’s an adjustment both he and GSW will have to face moving forward.

LeBron or Giannis: Is chasing another superstar worth it?

While LeBron James and Kawhi Leonard remain intriguing possibilities limited by salary constraints and complex trades, Giannis Antetokounmpo would represent the ideal bridge – both a partner for Curry’s final title push and a potential heir to the dynasty. The front office won’t want to mortgage the future (such a deal would require at least four picks), but if the opportunity arises…
