Photo by Joe Amati/NBAE via Will we get drama? Hopefully not. When the Golden State Warriors made a shocking trade for Chris Paul, one of the first questions was, Who will start?

But it was also hard to imagine them trading an ultra-talented young...

The German Klay Thompson ruins Team USA’s dreams of gold in the 2023 FIBA World Cup
Photo by Ariana Saigh/ Leaky defense and lackluster hustle on the boards plagued the Americans anew. MANILA, Philippines — It’s typically a risky endeavor to proclaim a player who is unknown outside of the NBA as the *insert nationality here* *insert prominent NBA player here*. I’m certainly guilty of this — but it’s mostly done in jest or in a facetious manner. But let me indulge in this exercise one more time, since Steve Kerr and Team USA have now been knocked out of gold medal contention in the 2023 FIBA World Cup by Germany. The Germans preyed on a leaky...

What would a Klay Thompson extension look like?
Jayne Kamin-Oncea-USA TODAY Sports A look at what deal might get done. In case you missed the latest news about the Golden State Warriors, owner Joe Lacob recently said something that was equal parts surprising and not surprising. The not-surprising part? He expects Klay Thompson to be on the roster beyond this season, which is the final year of his deal. The surprising part? Lacob seems optimistic that a contract will be agreed to before the upcoming NBA season begins, rather than after the season. Talking with The Athletic’s Tim Kawakami, Lacob — who doesn’t...

Klay Thompson is back hooping in the offseason
Photo by Noah Graham/NBAE via Y’ALL MUSTA FORGOT! Two seasons ago Klay Thompson took it easy over the offseason after winning a championship to prevent his body from dealing with the wear and tear. He was fresh off an Achilles injury and an ACL tear, and playing that deep into June creates a very short turnaround for a fresh season. Ramona Shelburne commented on the Lowe Post about this in 2022: “There was something in his head that said I don’t want to do that again. I don’t want to put myself in that position. So while he trained and he was in shape, it’s a...
