“Erik Spoelstra and Steve Kerr worth 20M per season”

With the record signing of Monty Williams from the Pistons for 78.5 million over six years, the small world of the NBA has opened the debate on the value of coaches in the Big League. Erik Spoelstra and Steve Kerr, the two strongest technicians currently, could thus claim amounts of around 20 million dollars per season, according to Adrian Wojnarowski.

Has inflation gone to also affect the market for NBA coaches? In any case, this is the meaning of Adrian Wojnarowski’s latest statements. Asked to speak on the subject ahead of Game 2 between the Nuggets and the Heat, the ESPN insider said signing Monty Williams to the Pistons for $78.5 million over six years could serve as a benchmark for other coaches.

Taking into consideration the fact that Williams has – beyond his arrival in the NBA Finals with the Suns and his title of coach of the year in 2022 – collectively won nothing in the NBA, the salaries of the juggernauts that are Steve Kerr and Erik Spoelstra could quickly turn the heads of many franchises.

“The signing of Monty Williams from the Pistons will significantly impact the landscape of recruiting coaches, especially for Erik Spoelstra and Steve Kerr. These two coaches have only one year remaining on their contract. Both make around 8 million per season, according to my sources… And both coaches, when you talk to the owners and league executives, would be able to receive what the new Broncos coach [NFL] Sean Payton got, namely around 20 million a year. While it is difficult to imagine Erik Spoelstra leaving Miami, the situation will be different for Kerr. – Adrian Wojnarowski.

Release 20 potatoes to sign Steve Kerr next year? Nothing is impossible therefore. As explained by the Woj ‘, difficult to imagine Spoelstra not seeking to extend to Miami, where he has lived everything for almost 30 years. For Steve Kerr, the end of the Stephen Curry era is fast approaching and not sure that with the departure of Bob Myers, the quadruple NBA champion with the Warriors wants to stay in San Francisco.

It would then be necessary to pay a hell of a sum to afford it, which will perhaps be beyond 20 million per season if the technician plays the competition. A salary which would then exceed that of Pep Guardiola in particular, coach of the Manchester City club in the Premier League, a team owned by Abu Dhabi. The next off-season promises to be exciting at this level too!
