The only way they have money for AD is if they let KD, Klay AND Draymond walk.

I'm sure they probably will, I still say their injuries tilted the negotiations significantly in the organization's favor.

There was already talk that Iggy and Livingston might retire after the season anyway. Recent developments will probably be further incentive to hang it up. They're both smart guys I think will have no problem finding a way to continue making money whether its in coaching, front office or TV.

What is Kerr's health situation these days? A couple of years ago it looked like he was going to have to hang it up.
