After 22-straight starts for the Golden State Warriors, second-year center Quinten Post was removed by Steve Kerr in the team's 123-115 loss to the Dallas Mavericks at American Airlines Center on Thursday.
With this decision coming after already limited minutes in the rotation, the Warriors are quite clearly realizing Post isn't the starting-caliber center they need to remain a playoff contender. That in itself presents a major problem, and only adds to the complicated nature of the Golden State roster leading into next month's February 5 deadline.

Granted it was against a Mavericks team missing all three of Anthony Davis, Daniel Gafford and Dereck Lively III, but Post played less than six minutes on Thursday in which he scored only two points on 1-of-3 shooting.
