The Warriors pulled off a win against the Utah Jazz on Tuesday, despite being without Stephen Curry. But things are about to get even more intense, as they gear up for a showdown with the Oklahoma City Thunder on Wednesday. OKC has been a powerhouse this season, sitting at a league-best 37-8 record. The Bay has already split their two games with them, and this third matchup is shaping up to be a must-watch!

Sure, not having Draymond Green and Jonathan Kuminga hurts, but getting Stephen Curry back? That’s the real focus for Golden State right now. With their 23-23 record putting them in 11th place in the West, the team is in desperate need of a big win. Beating the top seed in the league could be exactly what they need to turn things around and build some momentum. The Splash Bro did not play against Utah. But he’s now available for the game against the OKC.

This season, Steve Kerr had to experiment with lineups more than ever. With injuries piling up, the Warriors cycled through 26 different starting combinations in just 45 games!

Why not shake things up by bringing in a 24-year-old rookie for the Bay’s 27th starting lineup of the season, when they face OKC? To put things into context, Kerr deployed just 27 different starting lineups for the entirety of last season.

The Warriors spent weeks debating whether to call up Quinten Post from the G League. His performance with the Santa Cruz Warriors had been impressive. The young gun’s 3-point shooting was on fire, and he became a real offensive weapon. But what stood out even more was his growth on defense, especially with pick-and-roll situations. “He’s in consideration for sure. I’m trying to set a record this year for the most starting lineups by any coach ever. So Quinten would be the next obvious solution,” said Kerr to the media.

What do you think? Will Kerr set a record? While we’re not sure about that, the Warriors could give up their draft pick.

The Bay Area side looks to strengthen its roster, slot in a star ‘beside’ Stephen Curry

The Golden State Warriors are eyeing the February 6 NBA trade deadline, but it could mean parting ways with their first-round pick. At 23-23, they’re hovering on the playoff line, and Steve Kerr is weighing his options to find a better fit alongside Stephen Curry.

The Bay team isn’t exactly spoiled for choice when it comes to players who would seamlessly pair with the Splash Bro, but there are “mid-sized options and larger salary swings” that could work, according to The Athletic‘s Anthony Slater and Marcus Thompson II.

Right now, the Warriors aren’t looking to blow up their roster, while Steph Curry’s still out there draining threes at 36. Instead, they’re looking for minor ways to boost their chances of making a real playoff push. One potential target?

Zach LaVine from the Chicago Bulls could just be the piece they need alongside Curry!

But the first-round pick situation?

GSW doesn’t seem overly attached to picks expected to land in the back end of the first round. If they give it up for a solid rotation player, it might be worth it. Plus, if it doesn’t pan out, Joe Lacob and Co. could land in the lottery and still benefit from a loaded draft class.

And don’t forget, the Golden State Warriors are still in need of a strong big man. That opens the door for a potential trade with Bulls center Nikola Vucevic. Could be an interesting club of moves, right? Let’s see how it all plays out.
