Warriors’ Steph Curry Doesn’t Want to Play Without Klay Thompson, Draymond Green

Just two years removed from their last NBA championship title, the Golden State Warriors have missed the playoffs. This is now the third time in the last five years that the Warriors have not made the postseason, with the team failing to qualify after losing to the Sacramento Kings in the first round of the play-in tournament.

Frankly, it wasn’t even close. While the Warriors had a shot thanks to qualifying for the play-in tournament, they were routed 118-94 by the Kings. Klay Thompson failed to score a single point, missing every shot he took during the loss. Draymond Green and Andrew Wiggins each scored just 12 points, and even Steph Curry was held to “just” 22 points.

It’s still only been a couple of years since the Warriors were crowned champions and they did make the Western Conference semifinals just a season ago, but this year’s team felt far off from the glory days of their dominant dynasty in the 2010s. For a team that built its reign in large part thanks to its offensive prowess, there was a clear lack of scoring against the Kings. These struggles, particularly from Thompson, were emblematic of the season—especially with Thompson averaging under 20 points per game for the first time since the 2013-2014 season.

While the Warriors’ dynasty was built off the trio of Curry, Green, and Thompson, who have all spent their entire careers with Golden State, the future of these three players with the team remains uncertain heading into the offseason. The future of Thompson is the most unclear, as he will become a free agent.

After the game, Curry made it clear that he still wants to play with Thompson and Green, and does not want this to be the end of the road for the three.

“I can never see myself not with those two guys,” Curry told reporters after the game. “I understand this league changes and there’s so many things that go into it, and we’re not going to play forever, but we’ve experienced so much together. At the end of the day, I know they want to win, I know I want to win, that’s all I’m worried about.”

Lost” Klay Thompson “Soaks It All In” On Potential Farewell In Warriors Colors After Scoreless Game

We might have just seen Klay Thompson’s last game as a Golden State Warrior, something nobody would have believed a few years ago.

If that’s true, it’s a terrible way to end — he didn’t score at all, and everyone’s making fun of him, even his opponents.

Thompson seemed to know he’s heading towards free agency, even right after the Sacramento Kings knocked out him and the Dubs. There’s a video showing he paused for a moment before going to the locker room on Tuesday night.

 

He wants to stick with the team he’s been with his whole career. But contracts aren’t simple.

The Warriors have the toughest salary situation in the league. With all those big contracts not paying off in wins, they probably want to re-sign their stars for less money. That way, they can try to get other players who can help them win.

 

This season hasn’t been great for Klay Thompson. This game against the Sacramento Kings was embarrassing, with him not scoring at all. So, he might not be able to ask for as much money, and the Warriors might not want to pay it anyway.

You can check out the videos and decide if that’s what he’s thinking about.
