NBA Legend Reveals Solution to Warriors’ Struggles Around Steph Curry

Steph Curry may need some new rotations around him.

After starting the season 5-1, the Golden State Warriors have dropped to a 6-5 record. While Steph Curry has been performing like an MVP, his teammates have been far from it. NBA Hall of Famer and Warriors legend Chris Mullin believes a change may have to come.

After the Warriors lost to the Minnesota Timberwolves on Sunday night, Mullin spoke on the Warriors' postgame show where he gave a solution to the team's struggles.

"Steph is putting up dynamic numbers, MVP numbers," Mullin said. "He needs his teammates to find their rhythm and their flow. To me, it's not just the starters or the subs. I think Steve Kerr has to look at sprinkling in a few different lineups. Not necessarily just changing the starting lineup, but within the game, getting some youth and athleticism around some of those vets."

While it is early, it's very clear that the Golden State Warriors are a very old team. They've beaten some good young teams but also lost to some good young teams. They shouldn't need to change their starting lineup entirely, but some youth may need to come into their rotations. The answer isn't entirely clear, but this team cannot waste the games that Steph Curry is producing. If the Warriors are losing games when Steph Curry is playing well, what happens if he gets injured or has a bad game?
