1. Somebody other than Anthony Lamb — and presumably somebody better than Lamb — will get the 1,195 minutes he played last season.

2. Kuminga probably won’t merely be a rotation piece, he could be a difference-maker this season.

4. Paul is good for the Warriors, even if his arrival complicates Kerr’s starting and closing lineup decisions.

5. They should be a lot better on the road than they were last season. They have to be.
