NEW REPORT: Warriors WANT Klay Thompson BACK? GSW TRADING For Lauri Markkanen? Warriors Rumors

we have yet another Klay Topson update to get to on today’s Golden State Warriors today did the Warriors offer clay a new contract before the start of NBA free agency stay tuned to find out what that could entail and I also want to hear from you down in the comment section right now if you want Klay Thompson to remain a warrior obviously hit that thumbs up byc kind of like the video but explain your reasoning for why our goal for today 500 likes on this video we’ve been crushing all of our goals throughout this week on the show as the channel is really starting to catch fire appreciate all of your support of everything that we do here at chat sports on Warriors today and with that let’s talk some dubs so of course we have that Klay toson update to get to the latest around him in NBA free agency with the draft coming up next Wednesday and Thursday I also want to touch on a trade for Lori Markin and there’s been some chatter and a little bit of momentum on that front as well so that will be Story number two we revert back to Story number one and that is The Latest Buzz around Klay Thompson according to ESPN’s Tim McMahon he said quote we’ve heard it’s a 2-year offer from the Warriors for Klay Thompson here very very interesting Tim McMahon went further on this saying it’s as much about years as dollars in some of these cases that signals clay might be more focused on a long-term deal and I know we’ve talked about the Orlando Magic a lot as a team that could be interested in clay that poaches him away from the Warriors because they could offer him more years and more money but now there’s starting to be talk that the Orlando Magic don’t want to overpay for Klay Thompson either it’s going to be a fascinating free agency period for all 30 teams across the NBA including Golden State Windor as we talked about on yesterday’s show that’s Brian windhorse to vsbn basically alluded to this and then according to Monty po of NBC Sports Bay Area Klay Thompson is searching for a contract that lasts at least 3 years so this would mean that the Warriors and Clay are aart on the years are aart on the money and then of course role is going to be important how many minutes will Klay Thompson get will he be a starter will he be a role player if he does return to the Golden State Warriors could klay’s Market be lower than expected that is a question that I want to spend a couple of moments on here because that impacts things to a great degree Warriors are thinking we can’t get clay back for 20 to 25 because he’s going to get $30 million from another team in free agency that has maybe made it to the playoffs and they’re looking to add a piece like clay who’s won four titles who is a big shot maker could be a defensive upgrade over the existing players on that team but if no teams are really willing to pay Klay Thompson because they’re worried about the decline the age the injuries and the player that he is now does that in turn make him more affordable for Golden State let’s pivot to this report from Jake fiser of Yahoo sports I told you we have some new Klay Thompson updates at this juncture I am skeptical there’s really much of a market out there the Orlando stuff I’m not so certain about there’s definite word that the magic are only willing to offer a 2-year balloon payment bigger than what they did for Joe Eng Les last year and if the magic aren’t hot on the heels of Klay Thompson they’re really not pursuing him what are other teams going to do how much other teams going to offer are they going to offer that much and if a team like the magic doesn’t really want Clay and they’re willing to go to the Joe Eng Les price which is $1 million which is what he made last year and then this year it’s a team option Golden State might be looking around saying can we get clay for 1520 if that’s the case we might be in because we can build out the rest of our basketball unit from my view if fiser is hearing correctly here Orlando won’t offer over $20 million per year and if they’re the biggest Suitor who will you see how I’m tying everything together here on today’s show now we know that Klay Thompson’s also a very positive fella he doesn’t seem to be bothered by this does he know that maybe he has an offer from a mystery team out there that’s willing to give him some cash flow clay has been working out with Team Bahamas buddy hee is who he’s pictured with here Andre Aton in the background could partake alongside team Bahamas if they’re able to qualify for the Olympics you look at the numbers for the last four years for clay and I know we talked about this here on the show declining defensive player not the same offensive player he’s lost a little bit of a step because of the injuries also because of the age but if a team can get 17 points per 43% from the floor almost 40% from three that’s good play good production for a team that could be needing those types of numbers a floor spacer somebody to change the culture help you out in the playoffs who’s never going to have any fear in the pressure cooker teams may be coming to an unspoken agreement too that Clay is not worth 25 to $30 million per year at this point and I don’t think he is nor would I pay that if I’m Golden State and other teams are probably looking at that market saying yeah same so pick a team for for clay W for the Warriors M for the magic o for other for those of you who want Klay Thompson around because it would be so weird to see him in a different uniform last couple of shows some positive developments on that front coming up next could the dubs trade for lii markon we’re going to revisit that with some new information but first these Warriors draft hats continue to be on sale get yours today at chatsports.com Warriors draft hats you can get the flat style you can get the dad hat style the color scheme the logo the overall colors so clean we’ll put that link Down Below in the show notes and attached to the pin comment of today’s video As for the Lori Markin and trade buzz if Golden State wants to go all in for another Steph Curry ring could marinin be the answer here Zack Buckley Bleacher Report saying this while he had effectively erase Golden State’s asset collection pick swaps could be needed to get this done it might be worth it to give Curry another shot at the crown and offense featuring those two with Draymond Green connecting the dots feels impossible to stop plus Markin in 27 young enough that if he was able to stay around the Warriors he could help form the foundation of the franchise’s post Curry era I think the latter part of that talking about marke him being a part of the post Curry era it’s a little bit of an exaggeration I think we’re looking ahead down the road down the line a little bit too much but Lori Markin and alongside Steph Curry very intriguing piece because he could score at all three levels he has a lot of size this is an ascending player who I just think would be a really good fit on this Warriors team and I think that Steve cerr would really enjoy being able to find different ways to put him in the lineup last two years he’s been awesome 25 points per game two years ago 23 points per game last year you know a solid rebounder given that size north of eight boards past two years not really of an assist guy but you’re going to give him the Rock and hope that he can put the biscuit in the basket 48 49% the last two years and then the three-point numbers really good the issue with golden state you’re going to have to give up a lot for a player like that who is looked at by the Jazz as a blossoming star other teams by a blossoming star so you could talk about aari Markin in trade but you’re going to have to give up some pieces trade idea number one might have to include the ascending Jonathan kaminga now Markin and’s better right now does kaminga have a higher ceiling might still think that marinin is the better player Down the Road Brandon psky included in that deal and then Moses Moody and then first round picks in 2026 and in 2028 so you might be getting aari Markin in here but you’re giving up a kaminga psky Moses Moody and two first round picks that’s that’s the asking price right now that’s the reality of it trade idea number two trade away kaminga you trade away Brandon psky and then Gary pton the second is the third player included in that trade with two first round picks once again in 2026 2028 you want to talk about a post Seth Curry era those draft picks down the road could end up being valuable for Golden State if they have them if they don’t they could run into some issues how do they improve their team giving up kaminga and pods it sucks and I’d like to see how those young players develop but the Warriors have kind of cornered themselves a little bit with what has happened since winning the championship two years ago psky kaminga they are costc controlled assets who are younger players and the tricky fickle nature of this you trade for Markin and he might improve your team but to what cost you also lose a lot of valuable depth and good young players do psky and kaminga help you win a title next year they’re going to have to take a sizable leap but down the road they might help you out a little bit more as compared to a Markin in so those are probably the conversations that the Warriors front office is having I’m not sure if kaminga will be ready for a second option and to be ready or to I don’t know if he’s ready to be a second option excuse me on a title team in Curry’s career so if you want another ring and you don’t think that kaminga could be that number two two guy and the sidekick to Steph do you get Lori marinan who is that guy right now also you could resign Klay Thompson in this scenario so in that starting five you have Steph Curry Klay Thompson Draymond Green lri marinan and let’s call it Trace Jackson Davis that’s the potential roster right there where you still also have Andrew Wiggins either Gary pton the second or Moses Moody depending on who you deal the 52nd overall pick is included on that team and Trace Jackson Davis that’s a solid team right there depending on some of the production from some of the outer pieces so pick one to trade Gary Payton II or Moses Moody join the conversation down in the comment section we always like hearing from dub

Zach Buckley (Bleacher Report) on Lauri Markkanen Warriors Trade:
“While he’d effectively erase Golden State’s asset collection—pick swaps could be needed to get this done—it might be worth it to give Curry another shot at the crown. An offense featuring those two with Draymond Green connecting the dots feels impossible to stop. Plus, Markkanen, 27, is young enough that if he stuck around, he could help form the foundation of the franchise’s post-Curry era.”

  1. I Feel Killa Klay Is Still Within, He's My Favorite Warrior And I Still Believe In Him.

  2. Keep Klay. Klay still has more left in the tank than you think. the Warriors caused a lot of this themselves. By not going after any tall and long players and staying small, that limits your ability to stretch the floor. This affects a shooter like Klay who needs spacing. I know that Klay's shooting was off this year but spacing will fix that. I don't think that Klay will have two sub par seasons. They need to explore dealing Draymond and let Chris Paul go in order to bring a facilitator and a big. That way you loose the Drama that Draymond green has been bringing that has helped to destroy this team over the last 2 years.

  3. Trade Wiggins people!! Klay come back off the bench and take the two years deal..

    TRADE WIGGINS WHILE YOU CAN

  4. We have the chance to become the first team NBA history to have three (3) Hall of Famers to retire together.. THAT is the caveat to this all in the end, for this dynastic trio of the Bay Area! I believe Klay still has a place with the Dubs, and will still be effective if for nothing else than getting those spot-up 3's. Pay the man, he's part of the foundation that got those four (4) rings. Just my thought! 🏀🏀👍🏾👌🏾👏🏾👏🏾✌🏾🏆🏆🏆🏆💯💯💯💯💯

  5. Come on man come on
    We can get lebron or kd or
    Giannis
    Be for real man
    I can't say anything about markkanen
    I rely like hem and i think he will be great for the warriors
    But we can't give them the future of the warriors
    Respect

  6. I would keep Klay but he has to come off the bench!!! And don’t pay him no more then $15 – $20mill a year two years

  7. I.think Klay will come back with a vengeance. He wants to prove everyone wrong. This is why warriors should want him back.. He is gonna have a big season

  8. Unless we are getting a Giannis, Embiid level type of player, it is NOT WORTH giving up that much depth. If we add Markkanen, and lose all that depth, we will be limited on pieces we can add to fill out the roster. I think it is a BIG net negative. Not only long term, but short term. Nobody moves the needle enough with losing that much depth. Then we are stuck in the same place now, and a MUCH worse place later.

    At what point do we, as fans, say…hey guys…we LOVE ALL OF YOU…but…this is a business. We have been blessed beyond belief, but it is time to ensure we don't leave our team with nothing once our vets are gone. Sentiment is STUPID if you are a fan. Do you all WANT to go back to the pre-big 3 days (years…decades…) when they are gone? Or do you want to have a team with a ton of potential and that is FUN AS HELL to watch?

    We are being SUPER greedy at this point. Lacob has earned the right to say…let's pull back the spending some…I genuinely, objectively, do not see a SINGLE trade that is realistic, that would even move the needle a little for us. We never won solely because of our starters…we had crazy depth. Now that our guys are older, we are gonna say…nah we don't need depth any more?

  9. People don't get it, I know his offense is down the past two years, but that's not what made Klay a vital piece to the championship. Even if Klay recovers and becomes the offensive player we know, his lack of defense is not the same. It's borderline bad defense. If the Warriors can figure out whats wrong with Wiggins and why he is mentally checked out and fix that, then they are still a title contender.

  10. With orlando only offering 2 yrs, the warriors should offer what I said before, 4 yrs 15 mil per With the last yr being a team option. Trade Wiggins /GP2/Moody for Lauri.
    Sign and trade CP3 for Rui and Hayes to the lakers
    Steph/Kuminga/Lauri/Green/TJD

    Podz/klay/blake hinson (draft)/Rui/Hayes/

  11. I would love a trade for Lauri Ian even gone lie I feel like he would help us out a lot and space the floor for us even better and help us defensively at the same time

  12. yes, I want klay to stay, but we don't need to trade jk, bp or moody, just pick up a big man in free agency or in drafts and that's probably changed the situation,

  13. I want Klay to stay at Warriors , he worked so hard since the beginning. Even he was hurt he was still playing during the playoff . It does not mean that he declined last year that he will the same this year. bite your tongue man.

  14. Klay has to go, he is too inconsistent, he played a 49 minute game and did not made a single point (pointless game) the Warriors can’t go along with that.

  15. Look we cannot trade that much for Lauri we puttin to much faith in him and not enough faith in our guys to get that big leap we do need to somehow trade for some role players and a big with looney n wiggs but I think the main thing right now to do is free up as much money as we can and sign some elite role players and be able to sign an actual big so we have size and surround curry jk n draymond with elite role players
