Just go watch Full Highlight vids and you'll see a lot of different things that can be run within the offense. Often they just don't execute it well. That will get better and more options will be used as they learn the basics and add on to that base.
Coach Steve Kerr would disagree
He has used all his experiences as a player/GM/anaylst to fit in with the strenghts of his roster
It is a copy cat league and he has used what has worked in the past for Curry/Klay, adding in theories of SSOL, Poppavich's current system, and bits and parts of the Triangle
Poppavich currently doesn't run as many X and O's plays and promotes high IQ players that plays unselfishly and makes plays for each other
While the triangle is a good system, our current rotations/lineups simply cannot execute it without a player that can initiate through the post and facilitate at the same time effeciently/effectively
We do not have a POST player and a dominant force....
We have lots of players that FIT in with PnR and it should be emphasized more, especially with Larkin's speed/quickness and STAT's bread and butter
Add that in with the shooters in CA, Tim Hardaway JR, JR Smith, Iman Shumpert, Calderon when he returns, Larkin's ability to shoot, Travis Wear, and Jason Smith, it would make sense to do what works for the roster
Take steps in implimenting the Triangle but do not banish other systems that would work for the team
Majority of the roster will not be brought back to execute to Triangle, so why spend so much time for them to learn the system when they clearly just do not get it
Again, I am not abandoning the Triangle, I am trying to win games and not force the situation
