Kawakami: Steve Kerr on the Warriors’ lineup decision, Chris Paul’s drive, Kevon Looney’s influence and more

New York Times  

To the Warriors’ credit, they’re not saying this is going to be easy. “I think the way Mike Dunleavy handled this past summer and the way Joe and the whole group really approached it was we’re leaning into the core group and we’re saying, all right, we still have something to give, something to offer,” Kerr said. “I think Draymond was the key decision over the summer, and collectively we just all felt like, you know what, he impacts winning at such a high level, he’s still such an impactful player at both ends, and this has been such a special group, let’s lean into the group and see what we can do,” Kerr said. I think that game showed we still had it.” • Kerr said he’s very interested to see Jonathan Kuminga and Šarić work with Paul this season. “I think it’s also where the game has gone — it’s not just the Warriors,” Kerr said.
