outcomes annually. something has to change in california. the approach that we're taking is not working and we're not going to fix it by throwing more money at the problem. still, newsom promises things will change on that front. he's announced an expansion of the california housing accountability unit to include more oversight of state homelessness, grants to cities and counties. i'm not interested in funding for your people have to and feel the progress and the change. and if they're not, our counties are turning their back, aren't participating in funding. i'm not interested. >> and the status quo. as for this latest round of investments, those on this call say the money will make a difference. i can tell you, we're poised to put this funding to work immediately services, including mental health shelter. >> outreach, permanent housing and lot more. and these are services i can tell you that are desperately desperately needed it's changing lives. >> and the community is receiving. the funding can start to use it right away. reporting at the state capitol eytan wallace kron. 4 news.

>> the dubs licking their wounds after that season, ending loss to the kings and now all of dubnation wondering what the team is going to look like next season today, head coach steve kerr and general manager mike to leave week spoke to the media about what's next conference and wilson was there. she joins us now live from chase center. he said they spoke for about 2 hours when we talk to some curious, are they addressing klay thompson's future at all? yeah. just seen there's a big, big question mark on just about everything. and just about an hour ago here in room here, the press conference room for the warriors. we spoke to. >> i don't leave the gm. and then of course, we spoke to steve kerr, the head coach of the warriors. in a big question mark on the warriors. and with this offseason means, but not so much. a big question mark on what it is that they i'd only be actually was asked. what do you think you need after seeing this season? he said a few things. he said defensively. they got to be better. he said they absolutely need some size, not necessarily at the center
3:46 pm
position. and then he said, of course, that they need to be a bit better with shooting, which is no secret there. obviously, they were not as efficient beyond the arc as they've always been, which is the reason why they've been so successful in years past. now that being said, you have to talk about what that means for klay thompson. what that means for draymond green. what that means for guys like moses, moody and andrew wiggins. well, when they asked when they would like the lady was asked about klay thompson, he said that he would love for him to be here. of course, steve kerr also spoke about the fact that, you know, having them here is not just because of the legacy because their fish of players. we talk about just stiffed drey in clay. that being said, though, when when asked about draymond green, my dan levy was a little less skeptical about them needing him. he was actually pretty clear that they need draymond green on this roster. he wasn't so clear if you asked in my opinion about clay, but no one is so far because right now who plays for this team is up in the years. we saw it play out this season. take a
3:47 pm
listen. so might the levy is the kind of explains what it is right now that they're looking good when it comes to what they're being powered by going into the offseason. >> the premise of getting that's what we've got a look at for sure. so that will be taken into we also got to be mindful of the player who it is a major player, the skill set of the players. it's all got to fit to to be able to put the chips on the table to make a move. so those are the things we kind of look at evaluate. yeah, there's there's multiple ways to get better. and that certainly certainly one of them. >> and what he was saying was certainly one of them. he was saying going after a marquee player. when i say marquee player, obviously i'm talking about the big guys like lebron james and so on and so forth. he was asked specifically about adding one of those to the roster and that was his response. and it now when steve kerr was asked about draymond would obviously reflecting on the draymond had
3:48 pm
not being able to be as president because of certain suspensions or rejections throughout the season. steve kerr was actually pretty candid about the fact that draymond needs to be better. but like i said, it doesn't seem like they're ready to move away from draymond, which makes it streamline is a pivotal part of this roster. take a listen to how can it steve kerr did get when he was explaining what draymond means of the same. also what his actions made for this season. >> you if you want to embrace the fact that dream on is it's competitor who is just going to play with so much emotion and passion, which makes our team so much better. and you kind of have to accept. all right. he's going to get kicked out a few games. that's that's my approach. the other stuff. can't happen. you know, the the physical acts that will cost him his career. not only in the nba, but be on. >> and beyond. so obviously when speaking to both of them
3:49 pm
today, it was a lot to cover so many things when it came to play on the court and then obviously the structure of the team off of the court and how they can get the 2 of them to could they both spoke highly of cp 3. it seems that regardless of his contract situation, they are looking forward to possibly finding a way that he could be here because of the impact that he made that only on the floor of the sacrifices that he made for this team. but the impact that he made, especially on the younger guys who they're looking forward to bringing along as they continue to build out this roster and build out this team. it that cp 3 had a huge impact on his voice in on the locker room throughout the season. and then like i say, you mentioned guys like jk who found their way. i'm on the floor. and then moses moody, who they spoke about deserving, you know, more minutes. but having to find a way to get him, those men as well. also, steve kerr mentioned possibly finding a bargain player in a bargain hunt. he actually said when it comes to the draft as they did this past season with
3:50 pm
brandin podziemski in trace jackson-davis being that they have to keep the contract slow. they spent about 400 million dollars in player contracts this season. of course, they're looking to dwindle that especially for the simple fact that after spending all of that money on the roster, they didn't make the playoffs. they find themselves at home. it's the first round of the play-in. so they're trying iron out some things and find out how they make some moves. i suspect moves will be made. what moves though, also up in the air. but i was i would say that we may be maybe not surprised, but definitely interested in a move that the warriors make in order to beef up this roster with the steph curry who is playing still very well. and almost just about in his prime. but they have to utilize if specially for the fact that he only has 2 years left on his contract extended steve kerr for 2 years. and obviously draymond still has 2 years on. he is and they figure out what they will do about klay thompson. all of those questions still yet to be answered, but at least we've got a little bit out of
