QUOTES/NOTES/TOPICS:
• Steve Kerr confirms that Klay Thompson and Draymond Green will play in Friday's preseason finale against the Nuggets. Jordan Poole will return to the bench. Steph Curry, Andrew Wiggins and Kevon Looney next to them in the starting lineup. Klay is expected to play 15-18 minutes in preseason debut for Warriors. (CJ Holmes, Anthony Slater, Monte Poole)
• Kerr says “there is literally nothing to report” in regards to Draymond Green’s reintegration with the team. He says today felt like a normal, heavy workload day. Said today was more like a back-to-back with the game tomorrow, that the team probably has one more level of conditioning to get to by Opening Night on Tuesday. (Kendra Andrews, me)
• Kerr on today's roster moves: “This is the worst part of job when you have to release players. Quinndary helped us win a championship last year.” (Alex Espinoza)
• Kerr on the second unit: “The Donte-Wise pick and roll has been beautiful to watch…JK has looked really good with that group, too…Klay’s absence has affected our ability to explore different combinations…that’s the dream…second unit hold the line…hold the lead (in Q4)…giving our vets some rest.” (me)
• On JaMychal Green: “I love JaMychal…He’s a fantastic player…I look at him like I did Otto and Beli…difference is he comes in probable at his prime.” (95.7 The Game, me)
• On second unit having Wiseman at center: “It changes our look…(second unit) does different things…With James, he’s such a threat on that dive. He’s looked great he’s more comfortable, more confident…he’s built this foundation (of summer league and training camp) and now he’s got these two pick and roll ball handlers.” (me, Alex Espinoza)
• On having hockey subs: “we could throw Klay/Wiggs with that group…given the 82-game season there’s gonna be opportunities…everybody will get their chance. We’ve got a lot of people who are ready to play and not enough minutes…I blame Bob (Myers) btw.” (me)
