Warriors Rumors: NEW ROLE For Klay Thompson Per Steve Kerr? Chris Paul Starting For Golden State?



Warriors news and rumors focus on Steve Kerr revealing the Warriors starting lineup for the preseason opener against the Los Angeles Lakers. The starting lineup includes Chris Paul, Steph Curry, Klay Thompson, Andrew Wiggins and Kevon Looney. The key takeaways from this is a new role for Klay Thompson taking on a new role as the four, along with Chris Paul taking over Draymond Green’s starting position with Green dealing with an ankle injury. One big addition to the Warriors is Gary Payton’s return from injury and Kerr called him one of the best on-ball defenders in the world. The Warriors head coach also talked about how the addition of Chris Paul brings depth that the Dubs have not had since Kevin Durant, as Paul can run the offense when Steph Curry is off the court. Coach Kerr also mentioned that the first goal in camp is to re-establish the Warriors as a top 10 defense in the NBA.

Steve Kerr on the new role for Klay Thompson:
Klay would guard the four man. He’s so physically strong. He’s so used to guarding post-up players after switches. We think Klay can guard as a four this year. We’ll put him in coverage where he has to defend pick-and-roll as a four. We’re planning on doing that and seeing how he does.

Steve Kerr on Chris Paul:
Maybe the biggest benefit (Paul) will bring to us will be his ability to run an offense when Steph is off the floor. They’re going to be great together. But the biggest problem we’ve had is the non-Steph minutes. Even when we had Kevin (Durant) and that group that won back-to-back titles, our whole group was to put a great defensive team on the floor and win those minutes with defense.

We want to hear from you Dub nation, chime in on today’s question:
– Rate the preseason starting lineup: Scale of 1-10
– Can Klay Thompson play the 4? Type ‘Y’ for Yes or ‘N’ for No
– What’s the biggest area of concern for the Warriors?

Steve Kerr on Gary Payton II:
Gary is one of the best on-ball defenders in the world. So having him healthy and on the roster right away, I imagine we will re-establish our defense easier. Gary’s going to be in our rotation. I anticipate bringing him off the bench like we did two years ago, but I anticipate him playing a lot of minutes, important minutes. He could be in there down the stretch of games if he’s rolling.

  4. Comment Number 20.
    Opinion. Wiggins-Thompson-Looney-Paul-Thompson is the starting lineup until Draymond Green is healthy.

    When Green comes back, this lineup should be used against "easy" teams.

    I went vegetarian for 10 years. Never had I had much energy beforehand. I was like an Energizer rabbit 🐇.

    I stopped when I started traveling across the USA 🇺🇸 and the Pacific Rim. But I go vegetarian in spurts and in Lent, as I am Catholic ⛪.

    If done right ✅, Andrew Wiggins will feel more energy from a vegetarian diet. Monica Seles, Edwin Moses, Steve Brisbois are a few athletes who went vegetarian.

  5. Terrible idea. CP3 need to come off the bench. Klay need to guard the 2s. Kiminga need to start.

  6. Steve Kerr lost the Lakers series when he didnt play a impactful hot GP2 in thr 4rth where Lonnie went off

  7. Man Chris Paul need to lead the 2nd string. If not he does the same thing In golden state that he did in phoenix,and Houston. Run out of gas and get hurt. Lmao the warriors tweaking

  8. I don’t know if we have enough to win! If we can’t come out and defensively be hounds as well as unlock kuminga we might be in trouble. We must must defend rebound and utilize better damn rotation Kerr was partially at fault for last years down fall
