The Golden State Warriors are on thin ice moving forward after signing Steve Kerr to a two-year contract following a postseason-less 2025-26 campaign. The expectation will be that the franchise keeps its slim title window alive by fielding a roster capable of doing damage in the Western Conference. Interestingly, Bleacher Report's Zach Buckley doesn't believe the Warriors have high-level success in their immediate future, prompting him to float the idea of the Dubs cutting ties with their legendary four-time NBA champion after nearly two decades. "Legendary careers almost never end the way we want them to, but this feels like a particularly meaningless way for such a transcendent talent to go out," Buckley wrote Monday. "Especially when that player still appears so close to the peak of their magical, game-breaking powers." The 30.9 points per 36 minutes he posted this season were the third-highest of his career. The Warriors will never admit this, but a trade could be best for their future and the player's legacy. The Warriors have a history of making bold moves, and this could be one of the most significant ones in recent memory. The team's front office will have to weigh the pros and cons of trading their legendary player, but it's clear that Buckley's opinion is not the only one that matters. The Warriors will have to make a decision that benefits the team and the player, and only time will tell if they make the right call.
