Steve Kerr is making a big change to the Warriors-Lakers starting lineup

Steve Kerr is making a big change to the Warriors-Lakers starting lineup

The Golden State Warriors have been searching for their best starting lineup in the NBA preseason. With a perfect 4-0 record heading into Tuesday's game against the Los Angeles Lakers, the Warriors will look to remain perfect heading into the game against their Pacific Division rivals.

Warriors head coach Steve Kerr has been open with the media about his search for the right starting lineup. This brings with it many questions and challenges for Kerr and his coaching staff, as there are many different combinations that can work well.

On Tuesday, Kerr changes his starting lineup again, joining Steph Curry, Andrew Wiggins, Jonathan Kuminga, Draymond Green and Trayce Jackson-Davis.

That's a very big starting lineup. There are certainly concerns about spacing, as neither Green nor Jackson-Davis are respected by defenses off the field. Wiggins and Kuminga are capable three-point shooters, but are far from the best options Golden State has from beyond the arc.

Although there are concerns, there is a lot that is good about this group. In addition to the defensive strength, this lineup combines Golden State's best athletes on the floor with Wiggins, Kuminga and Jackson-Davis.

Kerr really seems to be looking for his best five-man group and will try out that lineup on Tuesday against Los Angeles. The Warriors will play their preseason finale against the same Lakers on Friday.
