The Golden State Warriors head coach Steve Kerr talked about player movement this offseason, including the Anthony Davis trade, on The Warriors Insider podcast. Kerr said that Davis forcing his way out of New Orleans Pelicans was “bad for the league”:

“I’m talking more about the Anthony Davis situation. Where a guy is perfectly healthy and has a couple years left on his deal and says, ‘I want to leave’. That’s a real problem that the league has to address and that the players have to be careful with.

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.

If you come to an agreement with the team that, ‘Hey, it’s probably best for us to part ways,’ that’s one thing. But the Davis stuff was really kind of groundbreaking – and hopefully not a trend, because it’s bad for the league,” Kerr said, per Fadeaway World.
