Report: Golden State Warriors still keen on Steve Kerr

The Golden State Warriors will reportedly continue talks with Steve Kerr over their coaching vacancy.

The former Phoenix Suns general manager, who currently works as a commentator for TNT, is reportedly close to agreeing a deal with the New York Knicks, but has also been targeted by the Warriors, who fired Mark Jackson after three years in charge of the side earlier this month.

A source told ESPN that the team had put their negotiations with Kerr on hold over the weekend, believing that he was on the verge of agreeing a deal with the Knicks, but have since re-opened talks.

The 48-year-old spent 15 years as a guard in the NBA before retiring in 2003.
