OAKLAND – Steve Kerr concedes the obvious, that the remodeled Warriors aren’t built for the kind of mass substitutions he utilized when coaching the deepest roster in the NBA.
So, as the team prepares for training camp Tuesday, Kerr will make do with a roster that is, without doubt, the league’s most talented.
The advantage gained is that with four All-Stars on the roster – Stephen Curry, Kevin Durant, Draymond Green and Klay Thompson – the Warriors have gained the flexibility to have at least two playmakers on the floor at all times.
“We’ve got a lot of combinations that can work and can also generate rest for other guys, and we’re going to be experimenting with all those,” Kerr says.
