On this episode of The Death Lineup, Brian and Garrett Gonzales discuss the most pressing question at Chase Center: What is the future of Steve Kerr? With Kerr in the final year of his contract and owner Joe Lacob suggesting extension talks will wait until the summer, the "year-to-year" approach is starting to feel like the beginning of the end. We discuss the recent reports of assistant coaches eyeing the exit and whether Kerr’s legacy is tied to retiring alongside Stephen Curry and Draymond Green in 2027. Is a short-term "Last Dance" extension the only way forward?

Then, we pivot to the on-court product. Kristaps Porziņģis has officially made his debut. While a one-game sample size against the Celtics (12 points, 1 block in 17 minutes) is small, we analyze how his rim protection and 7'2" frame change the Warriors' defensive geometry. Is "The Unicorn" the pivot the Warriors needed after the Jimmy Butler injury, or are we just waiting for the other shoe to drop?

We also have a "come to Jesus" moment regarding De’Anthony Melton. Statistically, Melton has been one of the most impactful players on the roster this season. We break down why his two-way versatility makes him arguably more valuable than several of the Warriors' higher-paid veterans. Plus, we debate the Gui Santos enigma: Is he a legitimate rotation piece on a contender, or is he just a "numbers guy" on a thin roster?

In this video, we cover:
