Joe Lacob said he expects both Klay Thompson and Steve Kerr to remain with the Golden State Warriors "for a long time" during an interview with Tim Kawakami of The Athletic.

Thompson is set to be an unrestricted free agent next offseason.

“We’ve had some very brief discussions at this point with his agent. But they’re very, very early. … I fully expect that we’ll have some substantial discussions soon sometime and we’ll see if we can’t put something together that allows Klay to be here for a long time, which we clearly would like him to be," Lacob told Kawakami.

Lacob also said that he's had early discussions about extending Kerr, whose contract is also set to expire after this season.

“Very early. There’s plenty of time. Steve is just like Klay, we want Steve to be here for a long time," said Lacob.

Lacob added that it was his goal for the Warriors to get under the second apron by next July.
