Former Warriors Coach’s Controversial Statement on Klay Thompson
Will Klay Thompson be a Warrior next season?
One of the most important concerns the Warriorswill need to address in the upcoming season is how they will handle Klay Thompson’s free agency.
It won’t be an easy process overall, and some people even think Klay should be allowed to walk.
During his appearance on Brandon “Scoop B” Robinson’s podcast, George Karl, the Hall of Fame head coach for the Warriors in the past, had a contentious opinion on what the Warriors ought to do with Klay Thompson.
Karl remarked, “I would have probably decided to break them up a little earlier than now.” Should I provide him a longer deadline?
I would make an effort to collaborate with him on an extension that would benefit the team and, ideally, satisfy him. However, I might let him go if he wants to go get the greater dollar.”
The way that the Klay Thompson scenario will affect Steph Curry will be its biggest issue.
How will it affect Steph Curry, who has repeatedly expressed his desire to play alongside Draymond Green and Klay Thompson throughout his career?
Karl thinks Thompson would make a valuable seasoned addition to the Orlando Magic, rather than an All-Star. Thompson has been connected to the franchise on multiple occasions.
Karl remarked, “Orlando needs someone who can make a shot.” “Now I don’t know if he’s able to help you as an All-Star, but he might help you as a veteran and pro that can come off the bench and light it up.”
The position is an extraordinarily challenging one for the Golden State Warriors. The team obviously can not overpay Klay Thompson or it’ll wreck their chances of any possible title contending, but they also have to keep Steph Curry pleased no matter what.
