Loss of klay's defense and he's a perfect fit as the NBA's best catch and shoot player... Meaning he takes nothing away from the other gsw players

PHX is too much of a mess and gives their young guys too many minutes, if they leaned on their veterans more and tried to win games, I could see them making the playoffs with Klay.


Which veterans are you talking about ? Chandler and Dudley ? You obviously don't know anything about the Suns.


I'm talking about the trash front court that is Chriss/Bender/Jackson. Go big with Monroe/Chandler best option, though you're right Dudley is a better option than those 3 waste of spaces.

Yeah, rebuilding teams play 30+ years old (ok, Monroe 27) "stars" like those you listed. Great logic !!! :banghead:

this a naughty swap

You can't put Klay on a worse situation and the same applies to Booker somehow given his skills. Frankly I don't even know how much playing time he would get on the warriors

I'm not sure the Suns CAN get anymore worse but I'm sure they don't get better by much


Booker would not be a starter for the Warriors. They would just slip Iggy or McCaw into's Klay's starting spot. Klay is a much better fit in their lineup but the Warriors would still easily win the 'ship.

Warriors defense would fall off a cliff.

But Booker is a better creator.

Klay doesnt need the limelight, so he's a perfect piece to an All Time team. Booker may need the adulation. Not sure.

I'd keep Klay.

Both teams would get worse.

Warriors because Booker is not the defender and 3pt shooter Klay is.

Suns because Klay is not 1st option but more like an elite role player. He can't create offense as good as Booker.

Klay can create his own shot. :evil: He was the offense of the Washington State team he was on. It is just that on the Warriors he is not needed to create his own shot because his movement off the ball and his ability to hit the 3 compliments his teammates really well.

I think people are underestimating Klay's playmaking ability. Dude is not just a catch and shoot guy

Klay is so overrated, He fits the Warriors perfectly because he is a great shooter. As a first option he would be ass.
Suns would be the worst team in the league with Douche bag goatee as our first option.

Bottom line Klay is perfect offball Guard for Curry. He’s the ultimate 3 and D player.

Booker is a great scorer can handle the ball some, but is not as efficient of a scorer compared to Klay and a poor defender by all metrics.


Klay isn't a very good defender, he's a terrible defender. He only has the reputation of a great defender because of how well defensively the Warriors play.

Even if that is true (it isn’t), Booker couldn’t guard a chair so it doesn’t matter.

"Do androids dream of electric sheep" is the book that Blade Runner movie is based on.

After reading your post, your book title should be : "Do DaleyBlind dream of OJ Mayo hairline or Klay Thompson goatees"

Booker doesn't get the open shots Klay does and defenses are keyed in on him as the #1 option on the Suns, on the Warriors he would be #3 in the pecking order and he would get a ton of easy shots just because Curry and Durant would get so much attention.

Klay goes to a team where he has to be the #1 option on offense his percentages would come crashing down, he can't create for himself or others and his defense isn't good enough where he alone would make an impact on a poor defensive team like the Suns.

Warriors would get much better and the Suns would get worse.
