OAKLAND (AP) — Steve Kerr played golf with Stephen Curry, traveled to Australia to meet with Andrew Bogut and spoke with every other player on the Golden State Warriors in some form or fashion this summer.Now he hopes to carry those relationships onto the court.With the Warriors set to open training camp Tuesday, Kerr is counting on his work this offseason to pay off in practice. He has traveled the globe since being hired to replace coach Mark Jackson in May, believing all along that building personal relationships with players would wash away any uneasiness some had because of his popular predecessor’s firing.“My whole goal over the summer was to get to know guys,” Kerr said during an informal news conference with reporters Thursday. “I didn’t want to walk into training camp and say, ‘Hi, I’m Steve.’”Getting off to a quick start could be key for Kerr this year.The Warriors are coming off a 51-win season and back-to-back playoff appearances, and owner Joe Lacob’s decision to dismiss Jackson puts immediate pressure on the new coach to keep the momentum going.Of course, the opportunity to coach a talented team is why Kerr spurned the New York Knicks — and mentor Phil Jackson — to sign a five-year deal worth about $25 million with Golden State.Most players have been working out at the training facility for the last month, and Kerr is as anxious as anybody to get started.
