Its really important, IMO that Kerr utilzes the depth throughout the regular season and limits the minutes of our experienced vets. Play Moody, Kuminga, Podz, Post, JTA and the rest as many minutes as possible.
I wish I believed the JK drama was over. But all those saying "it was all negotions" forget that JK may not have secured the status and playing time he covets and that can lead to sour grapes. Hopefully we find a satisfactory trade if needed to clear the air. Kerr will play him. But securing a startimg spot in the rotation won't be easy.
Note that Kerr specifically answered a question about POA defense and he literally said that’s Moody’s primary role. Wouldn’t surprise me if he’s leaning towards starting Moses and bringing Podz off the bench. With Horford in the starting lineup it adds back the connecting and spacing that Podz gave that unit.
Keep in mind in recent years we’ve also seen the Warriors somehow always seem to tamp down young players market value…Podz is in an extension year. Hmm…Will be interesting to see how it plays out. I could very well be wrong about all this too.
Counterfactuals are tough. Let me give you some homework. What do you think Podz market value would be given the trajectory he's on? 4/100? Whatever the number you think, let's see how it plays out.

I assume you mean TJD. Reading JTA threw me there for a second.
I agree sooo hard on this point. I want to see the kids get reps so A) we can see what we have and B) they can get better and more acclimated.
I like Zena Keita calling them “the wisest roster in the league”

Perhaps that’s part of the reason why Podz was so grumpy/abrupt in the press conference.
Perhaps he thought his play last year would have secured him the starting spot but now is being informed that Moody is the presumptive starter atm.

Which young players market value have they “tamped down”?
Wiseman? No
Mannion? No
Poole? Clear no
Trayce? Nope
Post? Clear no
Moody? I don’t think so, he took out extension without even bothering to test the market
Kuminga? If you think he’s worth more than he received idk what to tell you
Not sure why you’d think they’d take steps to “tamp down” Podz’ market value
