Steve Kerr Reveals How Warriors Lineup Will Change

Chris Paul's return will change the team's rotations.

After getting injured on January 5, Chris Paul's return to the Golden State Warriors is imminent. One of the biggest questions about his return though, is how are the Warriors going to integrate Paul into their new lineups.

Warriors head coach Steve Kerr revealed this week that Chris Paul will play all of the non-Steph Curry minutes, and even play some minutes with Steph as well.

"Chris, when he comes back, will play all of the non-Steph minutes," Kerr said. "He'll be out there with Steph, as well. It's easier for us to put Steph off the ball, and take some of the wear and tear off when Chris is out there because he doesn't have to bring it up."

Last week, Kerr touched on how the Warriors' lineups and rotations would change when Paul returns, stating that it's going to be a numbers crunch every night.

"It's something we talk about all the time," Kerr said. "Once we're fully healthy, we're going to have a numbers crunch, literally every night. We're going to have to decide who is closing each half. It'll probably be fluid based on the how the game is going. The only way it can work is if everybody buys in. Everybody accepts the fact that very night could be a little different. We can't wait to get Chris back, obviously. He's been one of our best players, he's in all of our best lineups."

The Golden State Warriors have some problems to figure out, but they're finally good problems to figure out. After spending the majority of the season hampered by injuries, the Warriors are finally getting healthy.
