The Golden State Warriors’ decision not to pursue an all-in move for Anthony Davis reflected the franchise’s long-term approach, according to head coach Steve Kerr.

Rather than sacrificing major assets in an attempt to land LeBron James, the Warriors chose to remain patient.

“You have to understand your place in the league and where everybody else is and what the future looks like,” Kerr said.

“Mike is really smart and prudent. He understands the landscape. Joe’s in agreement on that. We’re all pretty much really on the same page in terms of just being wise.

“[Sometimes] not making a move can be the best thing to do for your future. And you keep stacking up good moves and eventually you pounce when you’re ready.”
