Kerr is not impressed with the movement this NBA fseason.
Golden State Warriors head coach Steve Kerr has been pretty open about the fact that he thinks players requesting trades is bad for the NBA. Last week, he spoke out about this trend and singled out Anthony Davis in his criticism. Interestingly enough, Kerr is doubling down on his comments and has some strong words for all the superstars that switched teams during the fseason. While speaking to ESPN’s Jackie MacMullan, Kerr explained that all this movement could prove to be a problem for the league moving forward.
“The league has always revolved around the top 15 guys,” Kerr tsaid. “But how many them left? Larry Bird] stayed, Magic Johnson] stayed, Tim Duncan stayed, Kobe Bryant] stayed, even Michael Jordan] mostly stayed. What’s shocking is the caliber the players — LeBron, KD, Kawhi — that are leaving. And they kind run the league.”

The head coach then went on to talk about all the trades that have been forced the last few years. As far as he’s concerned, that might be the biggest problem all.
“That’s the real danger,” Kerr explained. “That’s where you start to get concerned. At least I do. As for our league, it’s bad for business.”
