Hm...bummed out that we won't get that second star scorer to be able to pair with Curry, +/- numbers showed the team relies on Steph way too much on offense...guess depth won't be hurt though :confusedshrug:

Curry - ? - Nedavic
Klay - ?/Crawford
Iggy - Green - Barnes
Lee - Speights
Bogut - Ezeli

Hope we can get Livingston or something.

Pathetic if true. Klay is good but not great. His best case scenario is 3rd best player on championship team. Love can be the 2nd best player on a championship team.

Probably heat back up around the trade deadline. Your window of opportunity isn't completely closed. Although, things could get interesting if he remains with the Wolves for the rest of the year. Lakers have a shot in the dark next offseason if he isn't traded this season.

[longtime lurker]

I love Klay Thompson, but there's a slim chance he'll ever be a top 5 player in the league. Gotta pull the trigger on that deal and try to keep Barnes in the fold. Kevin Love fits the Warriors like a glove.

[Warfan]

Fu*k :facepalm

Hopefully we're healthy next year, and we see some more improvement from klay, draymond and especially barnes. We're gonna need those guys to step if we wanna make any noise out west

Hey inferno I saw some rumours on the internet that the warriors would do lee and Barnes for Tyson Chandler, seemed weird, have you heard anything about it on the Dubs side of things?

[Rubio2Gasol]

David Lee, as great as he is offensively, is a problem. He might just be the worst defender at his position in the league.

Kevin Love is no defensive ace, but he won't foul out every time someone posts him up.

If you're gooing to keep him, you need better than Mareese Speighs to throw in.

Trade Barnes to get it, because he's being wasted.

[Fudge]

LMAO. GSW is run by a bunch of helmet-wearing idiots.

[BlackVVaves]

Love is getting traded somewhere. There's no way Minny let's him walk for nothing. They can't be THAT stupid.

...can they?

[Levity]

Wasnt it being reported that 20 or so teams made calls to MIN inquiring about love.

Most likely, we'll see another team go after him this summer. Hell, it may even be GSW again. However, in my opinion, it would behoove MIN to try and make a move now, especially one that would garner them draft picks.

Skip seems to not be at all interested in draft picks, else he would have taken the deal the Celtics have already offered as they easily have the best draft capital in the League.

He wants a player of Love's caliber he can sell to Wolves fans, and I guess he doesn't think he can sell them on the future. Trouble is, he's not going to get one.

This is a rumor started by Stephen A Smith.

This trade would make no sense for the Warriors doesnt help at all.

[no pun intended]

The Suns should now just trade all their picks in this upcoming draft for Love.

Meh, not interested tbh. If Bogut gets injured one more time I'd probably consider it though if we got something else with Chandler too.

Why would Golden State ruin a Kevin Love trade over Klay Thompson?

IDK man. We're gonna have to overpay him in a few years anyway, seeing that he apparently wants the max. He has to improve offensively...

I was so hoping FO would pull the trigger for Love, but apparently Kerr and West want to keep Klay

Klay is good and Love is about to be a free agent...

He's not getting the Max.

Kyle, you could've just quoted my post and agreed with me.

[Inferno]

Lets be real here though, Klay's solid but he's overrated offensively. Steph shot 47% (:eek: :eek: ) to Klay's 44%, and here are the breakdowns on how many of their shots were assisted:

At the rim

Steph - 26.9%
Klay - 69.5%


3 to <10 feet

Steph - 10.5%
Klay - 37.0%


10 to <16 feet

Steph - 17.5%
Klay - 47.3%


16 feet to <3-point

Steph - 16.9%
Klay - 73.0%


3 point

Steph - 45.6%
Klay - 94.6%




If the FO is really hesitant because they don't want to give up Klay for Love :facepalm Love's an infinitely better offensive player...don't get me wrong, Klay's a great defender and a solid offensive player, but playing next to Steph Curry will obviously inflate your efficiency...imagine the looks Steph and Love would be able to get each other :eek:


Klay is good and Love is about to be a free agent...

He's not getting the Max.

Rumor is that Klay's gonna seek a max deal with us though :confusedshrug: Is he worth that?

[NumberSix]

If Melo, love and Gasol all went to Miami, would it be the most epic pile on on all time?

[navy]

Rumors are just that rumors. Unless he takes a jump next season. Nobody will pay him the max.

Like I said, why give up Klay for a 1 year rental of Love?

Eh, idk man. :confusedshrug:

If we win 50+ games, make the playoffs, and (hopefully) make the second round at least, I'm pretty sure Love would be down to re-sign. Great defensive team that can mask his defense (playing next to Bogut), with what seems to be a pretty solid coaching staff

[Demitri98]

I don't think people get how important Klay is to GSW's chemistry.

Bet it's not dead..
