For all of the excitement and buzz over an unprecedented free agency period, Golden State Warriors head coach Steve Kerr is one very concerned NBA citizen.
Speaking on "The Warrior Podcast" posted Wednesday on the bay area affiliate of NBCSports.com, the three-time NBA champion head coach called out transactions sparked by star players -- like Anthony Davis maneuvering his way from the New Orleans Pelicans to the Los Angeles Lakers -- as "bad for the league" and "a real problem."
"When you sign on that dotted line, you owe your effort and your play to that team, to that city, to the fans. And then it's completely your right to leave as a free agent. But if you sign the contract, then you should be bound to that contract." Kerr has an issue with Davis' approach, while still under contract, as opposed to stars who have played out their contracts first before switching teams.
"But it's a little disturbing that there has been some action that happens before contracts are up, where teams are sort of held hostage and the league is sort of held hostage. I'm not a big fan of that. That's damaging for everybody."
