Can't link it here, but it said something like "Klay gonna get another ring and find his own squad. They better enjoy him while he there.  ;D"  Interesting when players tweet stuff like this. Does he know something, or is he just spewing nonsense out loud.


Brooklyn '18 and Bradley for Klay. I am in!

Well, that's not "finding his own squad" unless you think Klay asks to be traded specifically to the Celtics.  In any case, it sounds like CJ is spewing nonsense.

That said, your trade for Klay is an overpay, IMO.

Much respect for Klay if he were to leave the golden team to write his own story.

We would make the most sense to get him out of the West, find a larger role on an elite team, and set himself up to try to unseat his old squad.

I also saw the tweet,

I could see Klay wanting to play out this contract then as a 30 yr old FA joining a team on a huge deal where he is "the man" for the remainder of his prime. I also think Klay will age very well ala Ray Allen 
Mavs
Wiz
Hornet

Assuming GSW wins, I don't see any reason for them to trade Klay.  He has 2 more seasons left on his contract so that's two more season of being strong championship favorites.  They'd have to get a godfather offer and Bradley plus the 2018 Brooklyn 1st isn't it.

Am I the only person who thought Klay Thompson was a lot younger??? Didn't realize he's 27 already.

Or maybe I'm just losing it.

I just think 28 year old Klay Thompson is better than anyone we're getting with that Brooklyn pick, and will be for the next 6 years. It's not like he'll age poorly either.

Then if you can sign Hayward you've got 4 all-star starters in IT, Klay, Hayward, and Al. You'll also only lost AB and Crowder probably in that scenario, but upgrading their spots. So still a super deep team.
