“That should not make it out beyond the walls of our practice facility. And it did. That’s the problem. We have to get better as an organization.”
Kerr wouldn’t address how a leaky organization erodes the trust within the locker room, but was clear that morale takes a hit when they have to dissect private matters that go public.
The team is investigating the source of these leaks. If anything, closing some of these valves could preserve their reputation for prospective free agents or any other player or coach who might view those around the team as untrustworthy based on this incident alone. Kerr also pointed to the leak of Andrew Wiggins’ vaccination status last offseason as “unfair” to Wiggins and the team.
How others see the team is one thing. How these leaks impact the Warriors’ morale as they try to win back-to-back titles is of pressing concern, too. The season hasn’t begun and already there is turmoil made messier by the fight going public. “I’ve been in this league for 30-plus years, I’ve seen all kinds of crazy stuff,” Kerr said. “When things are kept internally, really it’s almost easy to handle them. It’s so much cleaner and smoother and you can move forward. As soon as things are leaked, now all hell breaks loose and that effects every single player, coach, but especially the players. Because of that, because everything is out there, the players are now having to deal with all the stuff.
Green then alluded to the video being edited to not capture the entire story because it did not include audio.
