00:00There's a bunch of Don Levy, and then we would like to take your phone calls.
00:04But listen to this, especially if you're an Angry Warrior fan.
00:07Because if you're an Angry Warrior fan, the likelihood is that Steve Kerr
00:11is one of the people in your crosshairs.
00:14And the TK Show, our buddy Tim Kawakami, part of the Odyssey family,
00:19they did get to a lot of things, but one of them is the future of Steve Kerr.
00:25Will Steve Kerr be the coach next season, Mike Don Levy?
00:29Yeah, I don't see why not.
00:30I mean, I think Steve's mentioned wanting to get to the end of the season
00:33and figure it out.
00:34I think things are, for him, going well.
00:35And, you know, we'll figure all that out when it comes.
00:38But I think it's been interesting, like, the focus for us internally
00:41between myself, Joe, the player, Steve, has really been, like,
00:45get this thing right the rest of the season.
00:47So we haven't put a whole bunch of thought into it.
00:50But, you know, obviously, on a personal level, love having Steve here.
00:53And, yeah, I would project that he's our coach next year.
00:57But, again, I mean, we're going down to absolute certainties,
01:00and a lot of it's in his core, so we've got to see.
01:03Is Steve going to be the coach next year?
01:05I don't see why not.
01:07Yep.
01:08Yep.
01:08Half our audience just made an appointment at therapy.
01:10There you go.
01:11By the way, I agree with him.
01:13I don't see why not.
01:14But it might be for a different reason than you think.
01:18It's not because I love Steve Kerr, and he comes on the show every week,
01:22and he won't come if I don't just say all the good things about him all the time.
01:26And that's coming up here within the hour.
01:28I'd like to know how the hell you see a new coach coming into next year.
01:32Yep.
01:33Thanks, Steve.
01:34Talk to you soon.
01:36Honestly, do you want to know who needs therapy?
01:39Whoever the hell you hire to come in here and coach the mini last dance
01:45of the Golden State Warriors, the final year of the contract of Steph Curry,
01:51Draymond Green, and an injured Jimmy Butler.
01:54You would like that to be when a new coach walks in.
02:00Good luck to that human.
02:01Who's the Tony Vitello of college basketball?
02:04Oh.
02:05Somebody young who's never played in the NBA and never obviously coached,
02:10that would be a setup for failure.
02:12The only way you could do it would be you just move Terry Stotts in
02:16from the second seat to the first seat, and you let him do it
02:20because he's been around the block so many times,
02:21and they know him because he's been there.
02:23Or you can go Jerry Stackhouse, who's there.
02:26He played, and he has the respect, I would imagine, and the gravitas.
02:30An outsider, though, you're right.
02:32Wouldn't work.
02:33What are we talking about?
02:34Right.
02:34By the way, just real quick, in case Terry Stotts is ever the coach
02:37of the Warriors, I'd just like to throw this out there to all of our partners
02:42and here at 95.7 The Game, I would like to do the weekly coaches interview
02:49live on the scene, Thrive City at Gots.
02:52Dub Nation, it's Terry Stotts.
02:53Yeah, Stotts at Gots.
02:55Let's see if we can work on that.
02:57We don't get that one a lot.
02:59Yeah, workshop that in.
03:00I also have Stackhouse.
03:01He comes at me.
03:03Dub Nation is Jerry Stackhouse.
03:07He does.
03:08He has a...
03:09Hey, Dibs, your picks stink.
03:10Dub Nation is Jerry Stackhouse.
03:12Hey, Dibs, your picks stink.
03:15There's Edge.
03:16Don't we have Burma House over there?
03:18Stackhouse at Burma House?
03:19Stotts at Gots?
03:20I like it.
03:21It's called Kaya by Burma Love.
03:23Oh, that's right.
03:23Kaya by Burma Love.
03:24You're kind of close.
03:25Yeah, not really.
03:26Is there anything over there that has the house in it?
03:30I don't think so.
03:31I don't think so.
03:31Okay.
03:32All right, so never mind.
03:32Get a breakfast place and...
03:33Keep workshopping that.
03:34Get a short stack with Stack.
03:37I don't know, pancakes.
03:38Yeah?
03:39Okay.
03:39If you're into it, if you partake.
03:40Keep workshopping.
03:41Yeah, we'll work on that.
03:42But Stotts at Gots.
03:44That's a win.
03:45Okay.
03:46Let's go to Gary in Concord.
03:48Hi, Gary.
03:48Thank you for your patience.
03:49What's going on?
03:52Just listening to you guys and stewing.
03:56No, not really.
03:59Enjoy therapy, Gary.
04:01No, it's not.
04:03It's more of the fans.
04:04It's frustrated.
04:05Steve can coach as long as Steph is playing,
04:08and that's what's likely to happen regardless of whatever I say.
04:11He said before it's likely to happen.
04:14There's nothing wrong with Steve Kerr.
04:15There's a coach.
04:17I'll put his championships up against anybody,
04:19and he's going to stand up taller than everybody else.
04:22Happy you guys had a fun time at the Sharks game last night.
04:25Cilibrini is definitely going to be the next Steph in the Bay Area.
04:29I mean, I think it's obvious at this point.
04:30He's special, man.
04:35As for Kaminga, I'm done with the Kaminga.
04:38I've been done for months.
04:39I'm so tired of the back and forth.
04:42But I will be honest with you,
04:43and I know you have people that call in,
04:45there's different people every day.
04:47But the one thing that's consistent between 10 and 2
04:49is Guru's love of Kaminga
04:52and his lazy takes with respect to always bringing up Kaminga.
04:56He repeats the same stories over and over.
04:59He goes off on the Draymond and the Jordan Poole.
05:03He says he'll never forget.
05:04And we hear it every single day.
05:07And it's frustrating.
05:08And as long as he's bringing it up, people will comment on it.
05:11Well, Gary, I'm going to jump in here because, first of all,
05:17I don't like if anybody's going to slander our coworkers by rule,
05:21it has to be us.
05:22Because it's tongue-in-cheek.
05:25Let me just, can I rebut with this with regard to Guru?
05:31And you all as listeners, you're allowed to like who you like,
05:34and you're allowed to hate who you hate.
05:36And we're well aware that all of us have plenty of both.
05:39And that's fine.
05:40That comes with the territory.
05:41But what Guru is, probably more so than just about anyone I've ever met
05:49in my life, is unbelievably authentic.
05:53And so you might be done with the conversation, and that's totally fair.
05:59But there is nothing lazy about Guru's takes.
06:04That is how he feels.
06:06And I think he does an awesome job on a daily basis
06:09of doing what our job is, which is communicating with you all how we feel.
06:17Yeah.
06:18I have no problem with Guru.
06:20I'm just bringing up the importance of that he does tend to talk about it
06:26every single day.
06:27And no matter what happens, it's always going to be a Kaminga talk.
06:31There's other things he says that are fine.
06:33That's not an issue.
06:34I'm just saying when it comes to Kaminga, it is brought up every day.
06:38Well, it's a Kaminga talk.
06:39It's a cloud that's...
06:40Hey, Gary, thank you very much.
06:42Appreciate it.
06:42Listen, I'm well aware of this, even though I'm over here going,
06:46like, when and how are we going to get over this?
06:48Maybe that's a better question.
06:50You know, I've been doing the when.
06:51Maybe it's how.
06:52Maybe that's a better question.
06:54Yeah.
06:54But, like...
06:55The how and the when are really...
06:56They're linked.
06:57It's a piano on the back of the organization right now.
07:01Like, one thing we've really noticed this week is after, hell, a year and a half where we
07:07probably talked about it almost every day, what you're watching over the last week and
07:12a half is a lot of people not here in the Bay Area are talking about it.
07:17This has gone from what was sometimes a national story out of curiosity because of the playing
07:24time and the trade rumors, and now it is kicked over to what's a national story, and the tone
07:30is more like, what were the Warriors doing?
07:34Which, by the way, is a sentence the rest of the league has not uttered in a decade and a
07:39half.
07:39Exactly, because they've made the right choice a lot of the times, and you could go back to
07:44the Wiseman pick, and you could say that from afar, and whatever you can judge, they've won
07:49four titles since Steve Kerr has been here, so there's a lot of that nationally that you
07:53can't really come at.
07:55Even our friend Rob Parker, who called Steph Curry the gamote, the greatest mirage of all
08:00time.
08:00That's just Rob tongue-in-cheek, but yeah, they've been...
08:03He's the gamote.
08:05They've been virtually untouchable based on, you know, what they've done, and then you have
08:09this one, and it doesn't look good, and you said, how and when will they get over it?
08:14How will be when they get something in return for trading him, and when will be when that
08:20something actually shows that they didn't get totally fleeced on the deal?
08:24Yeah, but it might be nothing.
08:25It might be nothing.
08:26It might be in a month and a half when Porzingis is, you know, healthy and plays well.
08:31Look, there's no, like the 49ers drafted Trey Lance, right?
08:36The Giants traded Zach Wheeler.
08:37Here, like your team is allowed to really screw up.
08:45It's still your team.
08:47I mean, what are y'all gonna do?
08:49Are you switching?
08:51No, you're not switching, but in those examples, like Wheeler, you got Beltran in a pennant drive,
08:57and then he left, and so, and then Wheeler popped off and became amazing.
09:03I wonder how this is gonna land with people if and when Steve Kerr does coach again next
09:07year.
