Steve Kerr believes Golden State have been 'forgotten about' ahead of the new NBA season.

00:00Staff and Draymond are here and ready to roll and there's a good vibe for sure.

00:05We don't have an all-time great roster like we did.

00:08So it's up to us as a staff to figure out what that means.

00:16I do think that we've been forgotten about a little bit.

00:20And you know, it makes sense where we are.

00:23I mean, we didn't make the playoffs last year. That's how it works.

00:26We'll miss Chris and Clay.

00:27But it also opens up an opportunity to maybe play a little bit differently.

00:32Great question.

00:34I'm leaving that kind of up in the air.

00:37I feel pretty confident I might start Steph.

00:41Probably, you know, if he earns it.

00:44He loves life so much. He wakes up excited.

00:47He doesn't sleep that much because I think he's so excited to wake up and face the day.

00:51He does a million things because he genuinely cares.

00:54And he's connected and he loves doing them.

00:56He's impacted so many people's lives both on and off the court.

01:01It's pretty remarkable to watch.

01:02Draymond remains one of the best defenders in the league.

01:05He's excited for the season.

01:07You know, I thought he had a good year last year when he was on the floor.

01:11But obviously, we missed him during the suspension.

01:15We've got to do everything we can to help Draymond have another good year.

01:20He's right in his physical prime.

01:22And we've seen him do it.

01:24We helped us win a championship.

01:26I'm expecting a big year from Wigs.

01:28Traditionally, we've been a top 10 defense.

01:32I just want to get back to being really good at that and knowing we can count on our ability to get stops.

01:40Whatever the ranking is.

01:41I'm very lucky, obviously.

01:43I mean, the coaches that last the longest are the ones who get attached to Steph Curry or, you know, someone like that.

01:51We're in big business.

01:52There's big money involved.

01:53Of course, every coach would like to see more stability in the profession.

01:59But it is what it is.

02:01This is what we've chosen.

02:02I think we're going to be really good.

02:04I believe in this team.

02:05And I'm excited for our prospects.

02:07We just got to go out and be the best team we can be.
