“It helped that [Kerr] is a former player,” Curry told Slater. “It helped that you heard him talk on TV for years. It helped that I knew he was a GM [with the Phoenix Suns] even though that job didn’t go great. It helped that he wasn’t trying to blow everything up.”
At the time, the Warriors were in trade discussions with the Minnesota Timberwolves on a potential blockbuster: Klay Thompson for Minnesota forward Kevin Love. Kerr, as Curry told Slater, was “very pro-Klay” when the subject came up on the course. In keeping with Kerr’s message of continuity to Curry, the team eventually chose to stick with its foundation and keep Thompson.
