The Golden State Warriors continue to be linked with several big names as they search for another piece to strengthen their roster, but Brooklyn Nets forward Michael Porter Jr. reportedly remains firmly off Steve Kerrs radar.With LeBron James increasingly expected to sign elsewhere in free agency, speculation has shifted toward what Golden States backup plan could be. However, a trade for Brooklyn Nets forward Michael Porter Jr. is unlikely to gain any traction, according to Yahoo Sports Kevin OConnor.Sources say that Steve Kerr didnt want MPJ in February, and there is little reason to believe he would want him now, OConnor wrote.OConnor did not reveal why Kerr has reportedly remained opposed to bringing Porter to Golden State, but the stance stands out considering the forwards production. Porter enjoyed one of the best seasons of his career with Brooklyn, averaging 24.1 points and 7.1 rebounds per game while emerging as one of the teams primary offensive weapons.From a basketball perspective, Porter appears to fit the mold of the athletic, versatile wing many contenders covet. But questions surrounding his off-court profile have followed him throughout his career.The former first-round pick has become one of the NBAs most polarizing personalities after a series of public comments drew widespread attention. Earlier this year, his former girlfriend, actress Madison Pettis, described him as a psychopath. Porter also made headlines when he publicly criticized teammate Cam Thomas, claiming the Nets guard didnt talk to anybody inside Brooklyns locker room.Whether those incidents have influenced Kerrs reported position remains unclear, as OConnor did not provide further details behind the Warriors coachs thinking.Related Article: Kendrick Perkins Gets Real on Heat Slip-Up Signaling LeBron James ReunionKerr has built a reputation for managing some of the leagues biggest personalities throughout his time in Golden State, helping guide the franchise to multiple NBA championships since taking over in 2014.
