Steve Kerr, coach of the Golden State Warriors, is confident in his team’s ability to compete despite Klay Thompson‘s departure to the Dallas Mavericks. Kerr points out that the team’s shooting depth has improved and that they have players capable of contending for the NBA championship.

The Warriors have previously demonstrated success with a three-point shooting style of play. With players like Stephen Curry and Klay Thompson, the team has won four NBA championships.

However, Klay Thompson‘s move to the Mavericks has forced the Warriors to adapt and find new strategies. Without Thompson, other players will need to step up and take on a larger offensive role, increasing their scoring production.

“What I like about this team, even though we lost Klay, we have more shooting depth. We have more guys that can step in and make threes from one night to the next,” Kerr said in an interview with 95.7 The Game on X.
