Steve Kerr still hasn’t decided whether Chris Paul will start. He said the Warriors will look at various lineup combinations during camp. “If this is going to work, everyone is going to have to embrace it regardless of who starts.” Full detailed Kerr response. (Clip – 2:13)

Convince him to run the second unit Steve please.
Only way it works is if Chris embraces a 6th man role
No super small lineups please. Play CP in sixth man role
Bet he starts CP3 a couple games during the preseason to give it a try but he and the others will probably convince him that the best thing to do to win is come off the bench. Hopefully he buys into the role or its going to be another long season.
We all know CP3 is getting traded and we have Cory Joseph. Everyone just chill.
damn Kerr has really aged these last 10 years, but CP3 has to be coming off the bench
Damn last season aged Steve a whole decade yeesh.
I mean if anyone actually listened to Kerr, Steph, and CP back during summer league when all of NBA media wouldn’t shut up about whether or not he’d start, they **all** said that’s something they won’t be figuring out or even addressing until training camp. Training camp hasn’t started yet, ergo there’s been no movement on the will he or will he not start. Any clickbait from NBA media on the topic to the contrary is just that, clickbait.
it will work
if u considered the super small lineup with poole worked, this is only going to be even better.
cp3 is 5 inches shorter but poole was a traffic cone on defense the team was playing 4v5 on that end every time hes on the court, whereas this is cp3’s defense in the playoffs this year.

lol at kerr and steph just fuckingh with the league and having steph come off the bench.
Steve, you are one of my last beacons of hope for sports this year…..my Raiders suck AGAIN, my baseball team is not in the playoffs, Hockey hasn’t started yet. So please have a good year! 🙂
Already sick of the CP3 drama…
The Warriors became what they are by meritocracy. Monte was the Star but Steph seemed like a future to build around. Iggy, a proven star came off the bench for Klay and Barnes who was a young player and David Lee, another All Star, came off the bench after the Draymond thing popped. The idea that there are cornerstones not to be touched is dangerous.
Why does it matter who gets the first minutes of the game? Just because CP3 starts doesn’t mean he will play a lot of minutes. It’s all about the rotations and not who starts.
So glad Jordan Poole isn’t there to pollute the team with his attitude about not starting
Prediction: Steph comes off the bench. Ultimate eff you season for the Warriors.
One thing I worry about CP3 off the bench, is that means we are minimizing his rest time between stretches of the play throughout a game.
The benefit of starting allows minutes to be spread out throughout the game with more rest time.
Steve definitely aged
Steph’s the one superstar that realistically would agree to come off the bench regularly for the betterment of the team. He’s this generation’s Tim Duncan.
Fuckit start cp3 and hit em with the super small lineup then sit him after a certain amount of minutes to run the bench. Simple.
“How comfortable are you with a hyper small lineup?”
steve kerr: 😏😍
Having CP start, then having a fresh Curry coming off the bench is going to terrify the league, not sure why anyone would think otherwise.
