While no figures were readily available, one can expect, given his three titles, Kerr will be compensated handsomely. His previous deal had been set to expire after the 2018-19 season.
Kerr had long been optimistic about working out a new deal, saying during the season that the two sides had agreed to mutually put it off until the offseason. The expectation was that once the two sides sat down and talked, an extension would come together quickly, and that appears to be exactly what has happened.
