The Warriors reached a 35 million contract extension, and Harden led the team to narrowly beat the Grizzlies!
According to WOJ, the Golden State Warriors have signed Steve Kerr to a two-year, $35 million contract. It's a $35 million contract, a new record in Golden State history, and Kerr is the highest-paid player in the NBA. Popovich's salary at the Spurs is higher, but Popovich is the Spurs' head of basketball at the same time as the team manager, and Kerr is also appointed"Pure head coach"。
Under the new contract, Kerr's contract with the Warriors expires at the end of the season. Kerr has signed a new contract with the Warriors, and there are rumors that he will remain with Curry. Slater, a reporter for the Warriors, found that Kerr's offer of a new two-year contract matched Curry's remaining work hours. That means Kerr and Curry will be the best pair of players in the 2025-26 game.
Since joining the Warriors in the summer of 2014, Kerr has made his mark on the Warriors. Under his leadership, the Warriors reached the NBA Finals six times in nine consecutive years and won four O'Brien Cups, which is enough to make him a great player. You know, Kerr has also had a very good performance in his career, winning a total of 5 championships. And now, counting the four he's won as a head coach, Kerr has a staggering nine trophies to his name! This makes him a unique addition to NBA players.
Although Kerr led the Warriors to four championships, his supporters did not side with him. Some believe that the Warriors' championship should be attributed to Curry, and that Kerr is simply stepping on the shoulders of a superstar. After the Warriors signed Kerr, many Warriors fans were lamenting that the Warriors were really going to be finished.
Sports Weekly's Dexin Kong had his say on this: "Kerr signed a two-year, $35 million contract with the team, which made him the highest-paid head coach in NBA history. Thank you Monty and our team". The Monty he was referring to was Monty Williams, who signed a six-year, $78.5 million contract with the Pistons last season. Monty, who is paid $1,308 this season, has led a terrible team and is now at the bottom of the league with an 8-47 record. Instead, it makes it look like the new contract between Kerr and the Warriors isn't costing much. No matter how unpopular Cole is, he can't deny that his strength is better than Monty.
The Warriors had a poor start to the season, suffering a string of defeats at the start of the season and once hovering 12th in the East. But recently, the Warriors have started one victory after another as if they were fighting chicken blood. After beating the Hornets, the Warriors won three in a row and won eight of their last 10 seasons, again to the Lakers in James' absence. Although the Warriors are still 10th in the West, they have been pulled away by a big gap, and with their current form, they can greatly improve their ranking at the end of the season and get a good standing. And the Warriors are only four games behind the Pelicans.
The Clippers, who were winless in a row, were almost defeated by the Grizzlies again. The Grizzlies were forced out of the game this season due to excessive injuries. But Harden became a burden to the team, missing seven of his shots. Paul George's performance is not ideal, so the only hope for the Clippers now is Leonard and Rodman. Fortunately, Harden hit a crucial three-pointer in the fourth quarter to help the Clippers overtake the Grizzlies by 6 points and not let them upset.
Harden had only 9 points, 8 rebounds and 8 assists, making 1 of 8 shots; Mann 23, 12 rebounds, 14 rebounds, 3 blocks; Paul George 14, 5 rebounds and 3 assists; Zubac had 10 rebounds and Willis had 13.
Things are not good for the Clippers, and the championship race is far from complete.
Regarding Harden who shot 1-of-8 from the field but made a 3-pointer to help the Lakers win the game, Clippers coach Tyronn Lue said: "These are the real Warriors, they always shoot the vital threes in the most critical moments, and his threes are what we have to do.
