In a shocking turn of events, Steve Kerr has decided to take the job as the head coach of the Golden State Warriors leaving the New York Knicks wondering, "what went wrong."

 

The Knicks were shoe-in's in the race for Kerr as GSW had already started looking at other candidates (Lionel Hollins), but apparently Kerr and the Knicks couldn't agree on the length of the contract.

 

So with out further ado, here is the coach of the Golden State Stephen Curry's...

Doesn't matter how long his contract is unless it's guaranteed money. Think Kerr will regret is decision within a year or two.

Maybe he felt coaching for the Knicks he would just be Jackson's puppet. Whoever the Knicks next coach is I really think it will be one of Jackson's former players. Only people with extensive Triangle Offense experience should apply.

Why?  Even with Lee, Curry and Igoudala still on the books, the Warriors will be about $10-12 million under the cap going in to the off season and the Knicks, assuming Anthony doesn't exercise his ETO, are $30 million over.  Even if Anthony does exercise his ETO, they'll still be over the cap and stuck with Stoudemire, Chandler, Bargnoni, and Felton.

The Knicks situation is a long-term rebuilding project, not a great place for a first time head coach to land.

What exactly did Mark Jackson do wrong there. Win games?

That front office is clearly of the mindset that they need to win playoff series and do it now and didn't feel like Jackson was the coach to do it for them.  That's why I questioned the Kerr hire in the first place.  It doesn't make a ton of sense to go with another rookie head coach when it appears that the team just needed a little more polish on top of what Jackson accomplished.

 

From Kerr's perspective though, it's really a no brainer.  If you take the Knicks job, you're only there because you're Phil's guy and the media questions when Phil is going to come down out of the front office and take the reigns from you if you're struggling, which, no doubt, will happen next year because that team is terrible.  In Golden State, he has a chance to take over a very talented roster and put the finishing touches on a championship caliber team.

I guess all NBA announcers are the most qualified people for coaches. Guess with them pointing out how your doing everything wrong night in and night out owners have wised up that these are the best individuals for the job. Hehe

I suppose the Lakers will eventually pursue hometown guy Reggie Miller. I doubt the Knicks would ever want him...cough*spike lee*cough

      Slowing my roll on Ward (for now)

      Him and Sanders are the only QBs I would consider in the first round. I won’t be upset if we take Sanders, unlike some people on the board. Both have potential to be really good NFL QBs if the teams can develop them.  But as we have seen teams are not willing or are unable to now properly develop rookie QBs.

      Because Young is so historically bad that it just skews too far outside the normal deviations that perspective is easily lost. That or they just don't want to believe it.  The struggles last year would have been more about the infighting and poor roster building or idiot owner's hiring practices than with Stroud. He wouldn't have been as good but he wouldn't have been ruined here and the pressure was not Carr-esk if you take out the Young created portion from his playing style.  Dude is a young guy on a team coached by a Defensive guy building a good D but not building up the O in year 2 of his HC 1st time gig. Seems familiar... Go look at his output this year and not just some crappy Thursday night implosion game, I would take that in a second and never ever look back every time without a shred of doubt while eating 4 of those games a year with a giant smile on my face.
