Kerr: Davis Trade Bad For League
Posted on 7/24/19 at 2:30 pm
Posted on 7/24/19 at 2:30 pm
Golden State Warriors coach Steve Kerr is not happy with the events that transpired to expedite the departure of Anthony Davis from the New Orleans Pelicans to the Los Angeles Lakers, saying it was "bad for the league."
Kerr said the trend of players who are not free agents forcing trades to get out of existing contracts, as evidenced by the Davis-to-Lakers deal, is a "real problem."

I mean yeah it’s not great but what can you do?
Honestly I think the it’s the right thing to do to tell a team you won’t resign
It gives them options other than you walking in a year.
But trying to dictate the terms of the trade a year and a half out? frick that.

He makes good points, but playing devils advocate, the players can say they get traded at a whims notice, so why is it a problem when the shoe is on the other foot?

He's not wrong. But why didn't he complain about the circumstances that allowed an MVP in his prime to join a 73 win team that already had 3 all-stars, had just been to back-to-back NBA Finals and then exceed the salary cap by a wide margin to keep that team together for 3 seasons? That was pretty bad for the league too.

He’s right in general, it’s a trend that could be really detrimental and is just bad optics.
In this instance though, and in addition to all the other crazy moves in free agency, I think it’s a net positive. On paper there is a lot of parity in the league and there’s quite a few contenders in the bunch. Answering who meets in the finals next year is much tougher than just “Warriors vs LeBron or team b” as it’s been for awhile now.

Requesting a trade: No big deal. Gives a team a chance to get back some value instead of letting the player walk for nothing
Forcing a trade to a single team via media narrative: Bad for the league.

With respect to players being traded, the “shoes on the other foot” narrative is weak. If the players don’t want to be traded on a whim, than maybe they should own a team? Let’s not forget who pays who here...
Employer, Employee. All of y’all in favor of players demanding trades mid-season and mid-contract are probably the same people who want fast food workers to start at $15/hr.

First post but yeah he's right. Bigger problem is Paul George requesting a trade his first year of his 4 year contract. This will be discussed in the new CBA

Falk AD!

He's right. But, Durant signing with Golden State was also bad for the league.

Of course its bad for business if contract is meaningless.
Agents push for 4 yr max.
Just end multi year deals.
Next bargaining agreement.
One year at a time.
All men are free.

Look I don’t agree with Kerr’s political stances. Here though he is 100% correct. Players need to abide by the contracts they sign. Until owners get together and stand up to the players this won’t change.

Kerr is a hypocrite. Was it good for the league when Golden State added Durant to a 73-win team? He didn't protest coaching that team. He sounds like a sore loser now.
