Steiny and Evan start the show discussing Jay Williams comments about Bradley Beal being a good fit fore the Warriors. But in doing so you might have to move off Klay Thompson. Would fans be willing to part ways with Klay for a potential title run?

Nope
In a heartbeat, assuming Beal buys into the defensive end
Beal is only 6’3. I don’t see him as an upgrade
Was klay getting max money while injured for two years?
I'm with it. This would be a good trade. Klay is finished lets be honest, I appreciate Klay for EVERYTHING but Steph, Beale, and Dray would go CRAZY
They should've pushed for Durant last year for that 45mil
They need to get Steph’s blessing on this.
Do it ASAP. Klay has done a lot for this organization but his best days are behind him!!! Plus he’s selfish as hell. Never saw a bad shot
If I can do it I would Klay and 19 for Beal , then I’m taking Poole and Jk and trying to get OG. So now I got 2 elite 3 level scorers , 3 all defensive guys 2 of which that can score the ball in my starting 5 . And then I’m pursuing CP3
heck no I get that klay didn't play well in the lakers series, but I think Kerr really overused him in the sense that he could've ran more plays for wiggins to lessen the load from klay and steph, plus klay really carried us in the regular season when wigs and curry were out, which wore klay out tremendously.
plus logically, beal and Steph backcourt is not ideal on defense. I would much rather bet on klay's size and the perfect fit with Steph tbh. just the chemistry with klay and curry/green is just too much for me to give up. I don't believe in trading your core, chemistry is a very important aspect in basketball.
I would think of trading poole first instead of klay tbh.
Klay was doing well until the playoffs. And TBH, he fumbled a bit defensively but who didn't. I don't think the team morale would be good if Klay is traded.
Klay already made it clear that he wont play for any other coach other than Steve Kerr, so of the warriors dont want Klay anymore he gonna retire.
Bb for jp and kuminga?
Chris Broussard said the same thing about Beal going to the Warriors. However, Broussard is saying package Poole and Kuminga for Beal. Either way, Beal is an upgrade over Klay at this point.
Cant believe all of you so call Warriors fans banging up on Klay. Look how long he's been with the warrior's and thats the thanks he get from yall.
Absolutely Not on Beal!!! Klay do a sign/trade to get quality bench piece back
I would expand that trade for Beal + Porzingas. Trade Klay, Poole and GP2.
No!!!!!!! Trade Klay not Poole, JK, GP.
For Klay maybe, but no for JP + JK + PG2
Dont see it happening
This is stupid. You want to trade Klay for a player that is 4" shorter than him, plays even worse defense than Klay after 2 injuries, needs the ball in his hands so Steph will always have to play off ball, throwed his teammate under the bus when injured, is always injured and is not known as a shooter. People complain about Klay's contract but want Beal's for 4 more years. Ridiculous.
I'd rather have Kuzma somehow
Steph, klay, beal, Wiggins, and Dray as your starting 5???🤷🏽♂️
We need size . We need bigs . We keep ignoring this an keep biting us in back side 🤦🏽♂️
Why do they entertain stupid ideas like this?
Beal for Klay is insane!!! Proven Winner vs unproven winner! Crazy
That Beal contract is insane. If he sucks with the Warriors, good luck moving it. His fit also sucks. We'd be forced to play him next to Steph. An awful defensive back court. At least if Klay is there, he can take the assignment of guarding small forwards while Wiggins takes on the faster guard. Beal is too bad defensively and small to do either. GS would basically be paying a ridiculous amount for Steph/Monta 2. We kind of have that now with Poole. So why just make our problem even bigger? I'd rather trade for somebody like Paul George if for some reason he is on the market.
Sign Klay and Dray to 3 years at 15 mill each. Sign Beal, Brook Lopez, and one other piece. Keep moody & Kuminga. Start
Steph Poole Wiggins Draymond Looney
Bench
Beal Moody Klay Kuminga Lopez
Reserves
PBJ GP2 Ryan the 19th pick
Save the last roster spot and maybe sign a two way. Waive Lamb
not trading klay. he was still coming back from injury. he needs a couple more games off during the reg season and to work on his leg strength this offseason. he played great the first two games of the laker series. im not trading away klay just yet
I would want him but man it is hard to think of the Dubs without Steph/Klay. I’d be more in favor of sending JK I think but I don’t know where the cash match comes from.
But also if you acquire Beal who from the starting 5 is sitting…Looney starts. Dray off the bench? Steph, Klay,Wiggs,Beal, Loon.
Depth still is an issue. And if it includes JK/Poole you have taken a lot from the second unit.
Glad I don’t have to think about these things!
I’ll revoke my warriors fandom if they did this
If we can make it happen I like the idea of a not yet 30yr old Bradley Beal in a Warriors uniform!😎
