Klay Thompson LOYALTY FACTOR + Bobby Marks keeping an eye on the Knicks ๐ | SportsCenter
Yep Super Bowl just days away NBA trade deadline just hours away so we got our front office Insider Bobby marks with us to break down what could happen as we count down to that deadline all right Bobby so I think about this deadline and Monday night we saw Klay Thompson
Benched again during crunch time he lamented postgame his own slippage of skills so Bobby he’s a free agent after this season it stands the reason that the Warriors could at least look to move him How likely is it that we see Klay Thompson move ahead of tomorrow’s death
I would say unlikely but there’s there’s something that the Warriors front office has to consider here the Loyalty factor four championships with curry Thompson and green and then what’s best for the organization that is hard to balance here because normally a team that’s out
Of the play in who’s got a player on the last year of his contract and you can get trade value team like Philadelphia could certainly use him as a shooter come you know next to Tyrese Maxi you would be looking for trade offers I don’t see Klay Thompson being moving by
Thursday here because of that loyalty Factor here but you do have to balance as far as what’s best for the organization moving forward wow loyalty not a thing you always hear about in sports these days right especially around the trade deadline by the way Thompson averaging less than 18 points
Per game this season his lowest since his second season in the league okay so from one of the worst teams in the west to one of the best teams in the East the Knicks they have been on one since the calendar turned 2024 but Julius randle’s out with that dislocated shoulder Bobby
How can they improve their roster without moving any of their core players well this was the roster that was last night in the win against Memphis and they they’ve got two things for them they’re their biggest two trade assets Health MH sprained his ankle last night
In the game jayen Brunson we’ve got ogan andovi and Julius Randle out still here but when you look at their resume as far as what they have second best record since January 1st here is what to keep an eye on Evan fornier last year of his contracts got a
Team option for next year your $19 million not part of the rotation can you flip the forier contract for a player perhaps like Malcolm Brogden who’s got another year left eight first round picks over the next seven years 11 seconds they’ve got the trade assets to
Go out and do a deal or do you become patient wait for that next big Allstar to become available this off season here but New York is well positioned they’re like Oklahoma City in the East well positioned playoff team to maybe go out and get another player in the next
Couple days here or they can sit Pat but at the end it all comes down to if you don’t have a healthy an anobi Randall and certainly mitel Robinson now add Jaylen Brunson to that mix I’ve got concerns from them moving forward okay all those years chasing stars and the
Cupboard far from Bear right now when you look at New York by the way fourth in the East right now and you mentioned how close they are to second just a game out of second place Bobby marks getting us ready for the trade deadline right here on Sports Center thanks Bobby Oh

Go Cavs
I don't want him hard pass
Just go to work and does his job bro
Media wants Klay Thompson to go the Lakers, especially Kendrick Perkins who is a mole for the Lakers ๐
I'm looking at the title and this is what I see: Klay Thompson + Knicks = trade. ๐ I'll take him fo' sho' , as they say.
HALL OF FAME PLAYERS CHANGE TEAMS ALL THE TIME .. KLAY THOMPSON COULD USE A CHANGE OF SCENERY ..
The NBA needs expansion teams in Las Vegas Seattle and Jacksonville Florida & Kansas City
Injured players TRADED: Danny Green {76'ers}, Joe Ingles {Jazz}, Danilo Gallinari {Celtics, Wizards}, Robert Williams {Celtics}, Steven Adams {Grizzlies}, Victor Oladipo {Heat}
Injured players RETAINED: Kevon Looney, Klay THOMPSON, Andre Iguodala, GPII {Warriors}
Brunson is fine and Randle and OG will miss only 4 games and be ready after the break , with Mitch not far behind
He's still be a warrior, but he needs to turn his ego down (especially since he's not the 2nd opt and also about his extension not as high as his in prime time)
Knicks shouldnโt get him unless
Unless itโs a bargain
He does have good defense
If we start there use him for ball handling , defense and hopefully he find his shot
Itโs funny how Kuminga went from โmost likely to be tradedโ to โonly untouchable player other than Steph, Drayโ, in just a few weeks.
๐คก๐คก๐คก Bobby Marks is just another clown analysis for a clown show
No
Knicks should trade for Zion
Klay Thompson doesn't want to be there anymore๐ข๐ข๐ข
If one more Knick gets injured I'm suing. I don't know who, but im suing. They just got into a groove as unit, and the 3 core pieces are hurt. I really hope they're aggressive at the deadline.
LoL ๐คฃ loyalty FACTOR ๐ if a blk man can't even stay at home with his family.. how can you bring up PLAYER LOYALTY ๐
why is a failed and fired gm the person to go to for gms with moves to do if he was tht good wouldnt he be hired smh
Klay to the Knicks
Lakers Get Thompson
Warriors Get Christie
I don't know about anyone else but i'm tired of this loyalty factor when it comes to the warriors. Klay Thompson is not mentally available for the warriors, physically he's good but for whatever reason he's just not working in Golden State anymore and things like this happens all the time with sports players. Trade Thompson and get someone who is actually performing, whether to the lakers who need 3-ball shooting or another team.
As a Knicks fan since 2024 kick off my Knicks have been on a hot streak ๐๐ผ๐๐ผ๐๐ผ๐ช๐ฝ, and for the warriors I think in my opinion they should trade klay and Wiggins.
Lakers get Thompson'.
Gsw get max christie and gabe Vincent..
Klay Gonna shake back and itโs gonna be a dangerous moment
GSW should trade him 2 years ago. Loyalty is a great thing but boy canโt house a declined player like this. Itโs almost like charity. Bad look for both parties
Move Chris Paul!
Dubs shouldn't trade Klay but hes is too old to guard the best player and score without spacing. He's better with 2 other shooters (Poole,KD) but Cp3 Wiggins, Kaminga, Draymond, can't do that.
4 1st round picks, 3 2nd round pics and Fournier = LeBron
Make the deal.
ESPN working with a pointing stick is thinking about my school teacher in the eighties.
