On October 6, the Golden State Warriors defeated the Los Angeles Lakers 111-103 in their preseason opener. Coach Steve Kerr talked about the lineup selection after the game, which attracted outside attention.

The Warriors' starting lineup for this game consisted of Stephen Curry, Brandin Podemski, Moses Moody, Jimmy Butler, and Draymond Green. Kerr said this lineup continued the successful chemistry from last season, when they went 16-3 in the regular season . " We want to start with a familiar rhythm, but that doesn't mean Draymond will play center permanently. "

Kerr noted that the addition of new Warriors player Al Horford adds more flexibility to the lineup. Horford is not only a solid defender with excellent passing vision, but also a floor spacer with his outside shooting. " The combination of Horford and Green will make our offense and defense more fluid, " Kerr said.

Meanwhile, young centers Quinten Post and Trae Jackson - Davis will also get opportunities. Post, who shot 40.8% from three-point range last season , will provide the team with perimeter firepower. Kerr believes that having multiple big men will help alleviate the pressure on Green on defense, allowing the team more flexibility to adjust against different opponents.

" Green is still one of our options at center, but we can't rely on him too much, " Kerr emphasized. " We are more concerned about the health of the players and the durability of the season. "

With the addition of new players and roster adjustments, the Warriors are exploring new possibilities while maintaining their core competitiveness. Kerr's flexible approach may be the key to the Warriors' return to the top.
