It's not just the Warriors squad that will be shaken up this summer since Steve Kerr may have to find a right-hand man. His first assistant, Kenny Atkinson, is in competition with James Borrego for the position of coach of the Cavaliers. It's a habit for Kerr, who has already lost Luke Walton, Mike Brown, Willie Green and Jama Mahlalela in the past. In Golden State, we took the lead since The Athletic reports that management has contacted Darvin Ham.
Dismissed from his position by the Lakers, Ham was a renowned assistant in the field, more particularly as a defensive specialist for Mike Budenholzer at the Hawks and then at the Bucks. Free from any contract, he should not lack offers to become an assistant, even if we imagine that his priority is to return to a position as “head coach”.
It is perhaps for this reason that The Athletic specifies that the discussion was unsuccessful, but also that Steve Kerr is looking for two additional assistants, since it must be remembered that in addition to the possible departure of Atkinson, the late Dejan Milojevic had not been replaced.
