Golden State Warriors: Five lineups we want to see next year
The Golden State Warriors’ roster is deep with a lot of star power. Here are five lineups that would be fun to see get minutes together.
The Golden State Warriors won their second championship in three years. In all three of those seasons, they’ve had the best core in basketball. When they added Kevin Durant, they immediately became one of the most talented teams of all-time.
The 2017 Warriors weren’t special only because of their incredible starting lineup. They also had a strong bench to go with it. Despite the fact that they let go many of their championship reserves to make room for Durant, they came back with an even stronger bench.

Golden State brought Zaza Pachulia back to be the starting center once again. David West is returning for the final year of his career. Veterans Nick Young and Omri Casspi will be suiting up for the Dubs next year. They also added Jordan Bell through a Draft Night trade.
