In a stunning development that has sent shockwaves throughout the NBA community, the Golden State Warriors, in coordination with franchise legend Chris Mullin and current head coach Steve Kerr, have made a monumental announcement that could signal a new era for the organization — and for the league at large.
During an emotional press conference held this morning at Chase Center, Chris Mullin, a Hall of Famer and one of the most iconic figures in Warriors history, officially announced his return to the franchise — this time in a front-office leadership role, taking on the position of President of Basketball Operations.
“This is more than a job — it’s a homecoming,” said Mullin, his voice cracking with emotion. “The Warriors shaped my life as a player, and now I’m humbled to help shape its future from a new seat at the table.”
Alongside him, Steve Kerr, who has coached the Warriors to four NBA championships, confirmed that he has extended his contract through 2029, reinforcing the organization’s commitment to long-term stability and leadership continuity.
“I can’t think of a better person to help lead us into the next chapter than Chris,” said Kerr. “He knows this team, this culture, and what it means to win the right way.”
Sources close to the team suggest that this move could signal a broader organizational reset as the Warriors look beyond the era of Steph Curry, Klay Thompson, and Draymond Green, whose futures remain uncertain amid retirement talks and contract negotiations.
NBA Commissioner Adam Silver responded quickly to the news, calling it “a pivotal moment for one of the league’s most storied franchises.”
The announcement has also sparked an outpouring of support from players, coaches, and fans across the league. Curry, currently in the final year of his contract, issued a brief but telling message on social media: “This is family. Let’s build.”
What This Means for the Warriors
The combination of Steve Kerr’s extended tenure and Chris Mullin’s return in an executive role suggests the franchise is preparing for a significant transition, not only in leadership but possibly in roster composition and development strategy.
Insiders say Mullin has already begun evaluating scouting and player development departments with an eye on restoring the team’s competitive edge, especially after missing the playoffs last season.
This is a developing story. More details to follow as the Warriors organization moves forward under this powerful new leadership alliance.
