Warriors: Klay Thompson Trade Watch Thread

[sasaint]

News Flash: Klay Thompson traded to OKC for Steven Adams.

That would be a terrible nightmare. But I have serious doubts that OKC would make a deal with the team that "stole" Durant from them. That thought will enable me to sleep soundly...

...and in this ing bull 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 le. 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 gots can have..Already Dray's mom is ing about him getting taken out of plays ..

Still, it is only ONE GAME..

that makes 0 sense. if anything they would have to bench durant or curry..

man, you have the tiest takes on this site and it ain't even close.

Don't think they can wait until next summer if they are serious about a ring this season.

Probably world get more by waiting. The league still sucks and there are only two teams that are dangerous to them.

I don't know where the idea that Klay Thompson is a great defender came from, tbh..he's an above average defender that doesn't really impact the game at a high level, defensively..

He got routinely destroyed in last year's playoffs, too IIRC..

+1....this 'two-way' talk has gotten ridiculous. He routinely gets cooked (not just talking about Irving )

You just noticed tbh?

It is early, and my crystal ball is certainly not completely clear, but I think there are more than two teams that can cause the Dubs as they are currently cons uted, including the Clippers.

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

So basically nothing like KD at all...

[TDMVPDPOY]

why ppl keep on saying klay is a 2 way player, or the best defensive player on the warriors

yet he couldnt even defend kawhi last night...all these gsw players bouncing of the beasts trying to defend him driving to the ring...

well that's a whole lot better than curry and way more than durant..

i dare you to find a basketball take where I was wrong ... go ahead, try

[apalisoc_9]

Draymond and Dominos are clearly the two best defensive players for Golden State right now.

When you (lose) an entire shift of ringed players you're going to have a difficult time walking away from that.

I called it first.

No you didn't. Shut up already.

Draymond called him out for his defense according to the "unnamed source".

For someone who doesn't cite, you're doing a lot of citing.

He might ruffle some feather like Pau did when Dwight stole his touches.

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
