Klay Thompson has suffered a season-ending Achilles tear.

Unfortunately, the team has no depth whatsoever. If Klay is out for significant time, then we are one injury to Steph away from being a cellar dweller for a second consecutive season.

I don't know about closed, but it's certainly shortened, this is the type of thing that could actually force them into early rebuilding mode, IDK. If Klay's out another year, we're screwed, they could win some games but realistically there's no shot at a championship. They probably didn't gameplan for this scenario right before the draft...

Yikes. Trade for Carter, draft Okoro, move Wiggins to the 2.

This is not at all an outlandish scenario right now. And not a bad solution if Klay's going to be out for a while.

If Klay has a serious injury there’s probably a good chance he’s never the same guy again.

I’m not trying to be a doomer but Klay is just too vital to what makes this team elite.

My solution is drafting Wiseman and using the trade exception on Eric Gordon.

Curry/Gordon/Wiggins/Draymond/Wiseman....not a championship team. Probably a 5-6 seed. It is what it is.

Wiggins like to be a 2 gaurd..draft Okoro

I agree and I think that was proven last year vs. Toronto, even without KD the Dubs were cruising to a championship. After Klay went down, everything changed and they never recovered.

Terrible news. Hopefully he is not out the season. Who is backup 2? Lee?

Still should draft wiseman
If not then vassell

We’re not a playoff team this coming season..so you have to be flexible enough to move quickly in another direction

Phase 3 · Post #73 » by **Phase 3** » Thu Nov 19, 2020 12:33 am

Also if Klay has a serious injury, James Harden is out there....just saying.

Not a fan of Harden but the Warriors need a bold move to replace Klay at this point.

Little Digger · Post #74 » by **Little Digger** » Thu Nov 19, 2020 12:33 am

Maybe a fringe playoff team at best..who wants that?

HiRez · Post #75 » by **HiRez** » Thu Nov 19, 2020 12:35 am

Now expecting Steph to average close to 30 ppg again, better draft him first on your fantasy team.

#2 + Minnie's 2021 pick + Wiggins? Not sure if GSW has enough to offer tbh.
Harden is still a top 5 player in the game.

so its the other leg

Not good news! Was so looking forward for the draft

. Vasell and Bane would help a little bit. Otherwise call it a season an wait for Jalen Green

Better than what the Nets are offering by a mile.

Trade Draymond to Atlanta ..they could really use his leadership
