He's redundant. They can't defend the paint or rebound for shit...and that's not magically going to fix itself tbh.
Doesn't fit.
Bogut is sorely missed.

gotta check the schedule, but if they win the next 10 in a row, he'll be alright... if they start losing though, I can already see him pouting about his touches, tbh
He passed on a wide open 3 tonight but scored at the rim.
They just have to learn spacing. They have to slow it down at first and speed up as they go along. Kerr wants them running like horses, and they can, and you cannot stop them but you can out rebound them.

He's basically a shorter, worse version of Durant. They get much better if the ship him for front court depth.

The Warriors are delusional enough to think that Klaynus is a star. Don't see them trading him anytime soon. Plus that would mean admitting defeat on the "Big 4" idea, and that prick Lacob is too smug to ever admit when he's wrong.

No way they trade him. He's on a value deal too.
Their trade options will be very limited because they'll avoid getting contracts that run past this season due to the need to re-sign Curry and Durant. The lower the 2017 cap is the worse for them.

If he becomes disgruntled at his lack of touches/relegation to 4th option/worsened stats they'll most definitely move him.

They can sign Durant with the non Bird exception and Curry with the full Bird exception. The lower the cap goes the closer the non Bird exception gets to the max salary. Durant could get a contract starting at $31.85 million next year using the non-Bird exception and GS doesn't need to clear a penny of capspace to do it. It's exactly how Cleveland signed LeBron in the summer of 2015 even though they were way over the cap. With the cap coming in at $102 million next summer a Durant max salary would start at $33.5 million. I don't see Durant breaking up his team over $1.65 million, especially considering that Durant max salary would only have 4.5% raises. He'll keep doing the one and one contracts until the Warriors get his full Bird Rights and can give him max with 7.5% raises, just like LeBron has done.

Oh, I agree, they'll probably sign him with the non Bird exception, but his cap hold will be huge, they'll also need to keep Curry's and possibly Iggy's and/or Livingston's if they want to hold on to them. Gives them very little room to operate and improve with a $102m cap or less. They need the value contracts of Draymond and Klay long term, so I can't see them trading either.

This. There is only one basketball and with their bench being depleted to sign Durant this makes the most sense. Whether it's Thompson or Durant, one of them should come off the bench. But neither of their egos would permit it IMO.

Not if they get rid of him for Whiteside. That would be a major threat to the league. If they get rid of klay for some A+ rim protection, the league is in trouble. I'm hoping the Warriors don't offer Thompson to phily for either Noel or Okafor when he comes back because I know philly would take that trade and it would make GS deeper with that shot blocker

...and in this fucking bullshit world I can actually see OKC eschewing such a "dream" of a trade:::"And it's not that Kevin signed with Golden State. We have the utmost respect for Kevin and for Golden State. But, you know what, we really like Steven (Adams). We really like our team. We may not be in line to win the pennant this season, but, in the next few years we'll be in there with the best of them, competing for that title. Thank you."

There is no way he gets traded this season. And even if they don't win it all this year, Jerry West seemingly got his back (he essentially vetoed the Love for Klay swap few years ago).. so even that prick Lacob wouldn't rule him over..
But Thompson name will keep popping up in trade rumors a la Bosh with the Heatles whenever the team struggles or falls short of expectations (Bosh, early in the 2011 season and post-Finals loss, and also when Miami were on the brink in 2013)...
Logically, he is the one who should sacrifice the most and turn himself into a richest man 3&D guy (15-17 PPG, more dedication to the defensive end)..
Not sure Klay got Manu-selfless gene in him..Dude has a massive ego and big mouth to go with it..
The rest of the league need all the internal trouble those faggots can have..Already Dray's mom is bitching about him getting taken out of plays :lol..
Still, it is only ONE GAME..

With so many primary options on the Warriors, someone is going to get alot less looks, in this case KD is taking what KD used to get. As people have said theres only 1 ball, a team isn't going to get a extra 30 possessions with KD around. I fear more Klays shooting than KD's
