Alvin Gentry to leave Clippers, will join Warriors

New Golden State Warriors coach Steve Kerr has hired Alvin Gentry as his associate head coach.

Gentry, who spent last season on Doc Rivers' staff with the Los Angeles Clippers, has agreed in principle to a three-year deal with the Warriors, a source said.

The Warriors had to come close to doubling Gentry's salary with the Clippers to convince him to leave a similar position with their Pacific Division rival.
