Kerr disappointed for LeBron after tough first year in LA

Steve Kerr said he is disappointed for LeBron James after the Los Angeles Lakers missed out on the NBA playoffs, although he praised coach Luke Walton for his handling of a tough season. The Lakers have not made the postseason since 2012-13 but were hopeful that would change after signing James to a four-year contract last year. This season marks only the third time in James' 16-season career that the four-time MVP has missed the playoffs and Warriors coach Kerr believes it would have been better for the league had the Lakers and their star man made it.
