After adding Chris Paul to the Golden State Warriors, the biggest question fans had was how a 38-year-old CP3 would fit with the team. His age and size raised concerns about how it might limit the team’s defensive ability, potentially requiring Kevon Looney to be benched and reducing the team’s rebounding capacity. On the other hand, not starting Paul would present a unique situation. Throughout his career, Paul had always started in every game he played, and there were no instances of him leading the bench. So, the fit issue was one of the Warriors’ biggest concerns heading into the next season.

Warriors Head Coach Steve Kerr faced multiple questions about the situation. While his response remained somewhat vague, as he neither confirmed nor denied Paul’s potential starting role, he did provide some insights. Kerr mentioned that the team essentially had six starters in his view, but only five of them could start, and they would need to figure that out during training camp. Kerr stated, “We basically have six starters the way I look at it. Only five can go each night.”

Warriors fans hope that their team can resolve these issues and establish a stable five-man starting lineup for the upcoming season. The discrepancies and uncertainties were major factors in the Warriors’ inability to advance past the second round of the playoffs last season, despite being defending champions.

Steve Kerr wants Chris Paul to embrace the role he is assigned

The primary reason the Warriors failed last season was the lack of chemistry among the players themselves. After Jordan Poole was punched by Draymond Green, it significantly affected the atmosphere in the locker room, which, in turn, impacted their performance and led to their elimination from the playoffs in the second round. Now, they have signed Chris Paul to replace Poole, presenting a whole new challenge. Paul, who has never played a single game off the bench in his career, will be expected to take on a reduced role this season due to his age and the strength of the Warriors’ starting five.

The Warriors’ starters last season were among the best in the entire league. With Chris Paul in the mix, Coach Steve Kerr mentioned having six starters but also emphasized the importance of defining roles within the team.

Kerr stated that it doesn’t matter which player plays which role; the main goal should be winning the championship. He also mentioned that everyone on the team, including Chris Paul, may be willing to accept a reduced role in order to help the team achieve championship success.
