New York had been pursuing a shorter length deal than has been available to Kerr elsewhere, league sources said, and thats believed to have re-opened Kerrs mind to the possibility of the Warriors job again.
The Warriors management group lost out on Stan Van Gundy to a $35 million deal to run the Detroit Pistons, and flew to Oklahoma City on Tuesday to meet with Kerr. The Warriors left more convinced of Kerrs readiness to coach the franchise, league sources said, and Kerr had a chance to further familiarize himself with the entire Warriors front office.
