Draymond Green is expected to come back for the Golden State Warriors from his 12-game suspension next week.
The team is currently 17-18 and 10th in the Western Conference, hardly better than they were before Green was suspended. They still blew big lead or struggled to win over weak opponents on many occasions.
It's unfair to say that coach Steve Kerr hasn't tried to make changes in rotations and players' roles for the Warriors to perform better. He actually tried a lot, but just not in the right spots.
