Warriors Lineup Shake-Up: Kumingas Potential Trade, New Starters & Bench RotationsThe Warriors are considering a significant lineup overhaul, potentially trading Jonathan Kuminga by mid-January. This move could open up substantial playing time for other players, such as Pat Spencer and Gui Santos. Quinten Posts impressive performances suggest he deserves more minutes than his current seventeen and a half per game.A predicted shake-up in minute distribution aims to create a dominant starting five and effective bench rotations. An intriguing starting lineup combination includes Stephen Curry, DeAnthony Melton, Jimmy Butler, Draymond Green, and Quinten Post. The bench features Pat Spencer, who excels with Butler on the court, and a lineup of Spencer, Richard, Moody, Butler, and Post has shown exceptional net rating in a small sample size.However, the team faces a guard logjam when everyone is healthy, potentially limiting minutes for talented players like Buddy Hield, Gary Payton the Second, and Seth Curry. The Warriors may target a bigger wing or a significant upgrade at center in any potential trade involving Kuminga, rather than adding more guards.
