Really love that someone obviously gave Klay a reality check. Possibly to stopped him from getting traded.

On a human level, I feel for the guy. He said it best:

"To go from one of the best players…It’s hard for anybody.
-Klay Thompson
"

Also Draymond stfu

Tbh, I thought he was becoming greater than Curry prior to injury. And I don’t complain about his contract because usually players were underpaid before and they paid him for his contributions, just like Curry is now.

I wish the trainers would have brought him back slower during his recovery from the first injury. It looked like he was in a rush to get back the first time.

At least he has some awareness. There’s really no point looking back. Playing less minutes will be better for him. He will get a chance to last longer in the NBA and hopefully help in a David Lee sort of way.

I know he got ejected but Claxton is what the dubs need at the C spot.

That dude is a stick

The awareness is very fresh

Seeing his attitude now, I think he comes back with a team friendly deal and settles in. He loves the bay too much and should be a Warrior for life.

Pretty much ditto everything you wrote. Poor Klay had to go through two years of physical rehab and now has to deal with a changing role on the team. I still think he would be best off re-signing with the club. But, in this video he comes across as emotionally hurting. He may well end up thinking he needs a change of scenery. Finally, maybe I haven't watched enough locker room video...but Draymond comes across as the most annoying mofo ever. Seriously, why has nobody ever punched him in the mug? Singing "I'll do anything for you" when his teammate is laying his heart out for a group of reporters? What a moron.

That's how Draymond shows love. He's agitated that the reporters are pursuing Klay to get him at his lowest point. The questioning had a vulture-esqe quality to it.

I agree. Klay gave a heartfelt answer, then someone asked him the same thing again.

Kuminga finishing over Bridges and Claxton was eye opening.

Yep, Draymond is actually trying to protect Klay here.

You can't help but feel bad for Klay. It almost looked like he was about to cry. Rocco is too small to be any good at spooning. And, Draymond is probably the worst best friend ever.

Best capsule of Draymond ever.

Do Not Trade

OR trade while his value is highest?!

I dont see future all-star in Kuminga, but I do see a 3rd piece to a championship team. Just not sure the trade market for him and a star that is available.

[floppymoose]

Unless it is prime KD though, what is the point? GS is not winning a championship even with a "star". Better to go young, and JK is a young player who is already good and has a lot of upside. He is exactly the kind of player we should be trading *for*, not sending out.

Who is he going to fetch that puts GS over the top? Lauri? Bridges? Murray? Those guys are not enough to win it.

Unlike the majority, I still see a path to contention.

Steph is playing as good as ever, but he needs a 2 and 3 on offense.

Since drays return:
Is that guy jk? It sure looks like that now.

25.3 pts 16 fga 50% on 3s 77 ft% 65% efg 68% ts 25% usg

Is it klay?

16 pts 17 fga 29% on 3's 100% ft 45% efg 47% ts 22% usg

Can it be wiggins

14 pts 9 fga 41% on 3's 86% ft 66% efg 66% ts 15% usg


If klay gets his minutes cut? Does that increase wiggins volume? On less minutes and volume, does klays efficiency go up as well as his defense?

If steph, jk, and wiggins (more volume) are 1,2, and 3, I think they can contend. Can klay be that 4th and not be a turnstile on defense?

Defensively, dray and wiggins look elite. If steph is steph and jk can be 2022 version of klay, they need that 5th. They need a connector like loon. Someone who can rebound, defend, and not need the ball on offense. Is that guy on the roster and has been underutilized?

If we can't find that 5th internally, mjd needs to get that externally. Not saying it has to be jk, but imo a 5th starter ties everything together if jk is part of the new core.

And will kerr give that unit time to mesh or will he keep tinkering?

we need someone who can make shots besides Curry. Why we can't close out games because the 2nd option klay is making 29% of his shots in last 5 mins, while Curry is leading the league. Our closing lineup has the worst Ortg of the entire league. (Klay, Wiggins, JK, Green and Curry)

Now look at the individual numbers of those guys in clutch time.

Steph is great.
Klay gets the second most volume after that.

Is it our closing line up is bad or is it 1 guy hurting the line up?

Ranked in order of fga ( only 2 players shot more than once per game)

Steph

Efg 64% 70% ts

Klay

Efg 46.4% 55% ts

Podz

Efg 50% 56% ts

Green

Efg 11% 24% ts

Wiggins

Efg 68% 60% ts

Jk

Efg 54% ts 53%

And now the inability to defend. We just saw it on Atlanta.

this is not a good closing lineup, 3 of them cannot make a basket late (Green Podz and Wiggins) and JK is a lot less useful on half court. We need someone who can replace Klay

[ILOVEIT]

Love watching actual tenacious defense. Not to pick on Klay but he stood out from a lazy chase over the top of screen then following the player straight to the rim. He was tall in his defensive stance the whole time....not a chance of impacting the play.

I could live with Klay shooting pourly....but not being a traffic cone defensively.

FINALLY Kerr is playing the young guys!

[thunderdunk]

Tonight’s best rebounder: Podz. Best +/-: Gui!
