Coaches sympathize with fans, but concerned about lines crossed

A couple of NBA lifers who have been through just about everything as players and coaches sounded off on Wednesday about the emotions brought forth by recent events surrounding the Mavericks.

Coaches Jason Kidd of the Mavs and Steve Kerr of Golden State both said they were sympathetic to the way fans feel when they get emotionally invested in players or organizations.

But . . .

Kerr in particular said that, while he doesn’t comment on other teams’ player movement, he has seen some of the backlash that the Mavericks have received since trading Luka Doncic for Anthony Davis and Max Christie.
