The Golden State Warriors plan on hiring a replacement for Luke Walton from outside the organization.

Walton has become the second member of the Warriors' coaching staff to get a head coaching job following Alvin Gentry with the New Orleans Pelicans.

Ron Adams is Steve Kerr's other top assistant and is not a candidate for other head coaching jobs.

David Blatt was a candidate to be an assistant coach with the Warriors in 2014 before he joined the Cleveland Cavaliers, but he isn't as certain of a target now.
