Steve Kerr: Warriors are in 'offseason mode'

The NBA's worst team in the league isn't convinced the NBA season will resume. The Golden State Warriors, who have no chance of making the playoffs, are operating as if it's the offseason, according to head coach Steve Kerr.

"It feels like the offseason," Kerr said during a video conference call in conjunction with the University of San Francisco on Tuesday, according to ESPN's Nick Friedell. "And, in fact, we had a Zoom call, Bob Myers and I got on a Zoom with our players, our whole roster last week. And it was just a chance to check in, but it was also a chance for Bob to update the players on his contact with the league and the latest news, but it also kind of felt like our annual team exit meeting. Our coaching staff and I have been undergoing staff evaluations, offseason plans, so we are absolutely in offseason mode right now."

While many teams are trying to keep their players focused on a possible resume to the season, Kerr added that the Warriors aren't very concerned with that.

Golden State went 15-50 before the NBA paused the season, and it was largely in part to the injuries they endured throughout the season and last year.

It's rather odd that the Warriors are the worst team in the league at the moment, especially considering all the success they've found over the last decade. However, it should be noted that Stephen Curry missed most of the season with an injury, Klay Thompson was recovering from an ACL tear and the Warriors just couldn't find an answer.

If the Warriors are truly in offseason mode, it's hard to ignore the fact that they must be planning for the 2020 NBA Draft, as they'll likely have the first overall selection.
