So how much longer til we admit Klay is cooked?

[jbk1234]

The Warriors have at least two guys in Poole and DiVencheza who should be starting in front of him.

If you went just a bit further, I would have to make you my signature as you did to me. Lol.

This is a troll post of course. Right?

Nope. I'm serious, and don't be shocked if he gets moved to the bench by the time the playoffs have started.

Warriors will never trade him long as Steph is there but if Pelinka calls and offers Westbrook and a pick for Klay you'd be lying if they didn't think long and hard about it. It works under the cap too.

can I get some of those shrooms too? you're tripping

why would the Dubs "think long and hard" about a 1st and WB?

If Steph could pull off winning a title with Westbrook while Lebron could not even make the playoffs with Westbrook, that could be the icing and the cherry on top of the Steph vs Lebron cake. Lebron would never be able to live it down. Is Steph up for the challenge?

Nice. I'd take it a step further. Warriors should persuade Silver to let high school players back starting this year, get Bronny to declare at the end of the year, draft Bronny, and instill Curry as his mentor and have them live together (like Lemieux and Crosby). They should also mandate that everyone on the team calls Curry "father". Can you imagine Curry winning a championship with Bronny, as Bronn'y father? Lebron would never recover.

Trade him for Oakland native Dame and win a 5th championship. Throw in Wisemn and some picks

Let’s say Dame was traded to the Warriors. Would that make him the new leader of the team. He is crushing it in Portland and they’d never ever trade him, but if they did… he would have to be the new dogfather on the squad.

Excellent point, the Warriors should make one of the stupidest possible trades just to tie their hands behind their back to make an unlikely victory more satisfying.

It would also be amazing for his legacy if he won a title with a blindfold on. But he's not going to do that, either. A move isn't appealing because it is a bad idea that will "challenge" Steph/the Warriors.

Oh man I would not go that far.

I do not think it an impossible task with Westbrook's newfound humility and acceptance of a bench role. It is the sort of challenge an All-Time Top 10 player should relish. It might even catapult Steph to having a case as Lebron's equal in the All-Time lists. If I were Steph, I would do it just to see the reactions of Lebron superfans. He could not ask for better timing too, this being the season when Lebron breaks the scoring record. To one-up that by winning a ring with Westbrook would be something else.

I surprised to see so many posters saying that he is essentially washed.. For the season he is averaging numbers in line with the previous season, despite that horrid start:
20.6pts, 3.8reb, 2.4ast, on 55%TS (42/39/90) in 32.1mpg as a +8.4 out there.

With Curry out for 8 games his numbers ballooned up to 26pts, 5.3reb, 2.8ast on 56.6%TS (44/38/96) in 36.4mpg

I mean since the calendar year turned to 2023 he is averaging: 27pts 3.7reb, 2.3ast on 60%TS (47/42/94) in 34.3mpg

Including yesterday's game. Nobody is giving up worthwhile assets to bring in a declining SG who si set to make 43.2m next season. Plus I think the fans would riot if he was traded imo.

People are quick to judge a player when they're not their normal selves. They go scurrying away, when they realize they were wrong.

[JN61]

Curry fans been on the mission all season long to trash his teammates. Facts are that Curry himself choked vs nets:

0-4 FG in the 4th crucial turnover and a bad foul and another bad pass that lead to the bad possession down the stretch. Thompson was at least trying with 2-5 on the 4th.

Lol. Come on. He just dropped 29 on the Raptors man.

You would be particularly well informed in regard to posters who have a mission. This isn’t even a Curry thread, and few if any true fans of both Curry and GSW have been doing what you posit.

Klay Thompson had virtually no off season due to concern about sustaining a third severe injury while engaged in pursuits which did not warrant taking the risk of same. He is now rounding into game shape as he did for the finals last season and has fairly stellar January numbers.

[Pennebaker]

I checked his regular season stats.

21.9 points per game. .412 3PT%.

A ton of teams would gladly take that.

LOL, only dumb teams who only look at PPG and the scoring stats.

Warriors could waive him tomorrow and they will be better off as a team.

i hope you are right though, that at least a single team is interested in his services so that Golden State can at least try to get back to being legit playoff players this year.

yup if you are the 2nd option, i guess you just have to show up once in 50 games. He has not shown up once yet after 20 games so he still have time. I bet you could not find a worse 2nd option in the entire league, let alone consider we are tying to win championships here.

Didn't warriors dig their own grave here by trading Poole away and keeping the hissy fit guy for no logical reason?

He just doesn't play a lot of minutes he is scoring at decent rate with proper play time.

Almost any NBA player can score with proper playing time and touches, the question is how efficient they'd be and that's the point. Klay's efficiency is waning which obviously hurts his team's chances to win. Unless you think giving him 5-7 more shots a game is advantageous at this point in his career.
