    if you don't like what you see, you can easily press that ignore button. Now if you want to actually talk about basketball then by all means proceed.

    Mainly from every single stat that exists and from watching him get lit up.

    There is no more basis for believing this than there is to believe in the flying spaghetti monster.

    How does Klay get his points? By being on a team with two of the best offensive linemen in the game, and one of the greatest shooting teams of all time, giving him constant spacing.

    On the Rockets, Bucks, Knicks, Nuggets, Kings, Pelicans, the list goes on, he would not be the Klay Thompson poster that you have in your room.

    It's not about the stats he gets now, it's about the core aspects of his game. His scouting report. His strengths and weaknesses.

    Harden would make the Warriors offense worse. The whole system depends on constant movement from Steph and Klay. If you have one guy who refuses to move unless he has the ball in his hand the entire offense would bog down.

    I'm not even a Klay Thompson fan... But please name the players that you've witness light him up. Then provide the names of players who those guys DON'T light up.

    With that logic Kawhi Leonard also sucks on the defensive end, because last I saw Durant tore him a new one all series long.

    Klay is no elite defender, he's average at absolute worst and closer to being a very good defender then he is to being a bad one.

    QFT

    he does a consistent job of playing defense with good fundamentals. Hands up to contest, moves his feet, doesn't reach unnecessarily, eyes on the ball & active when the ball moves, fights through screens. The effort is there on that end on any night.

    So what he gets his points. Like I said he has the POTENTIAL. I've seen plenty of games in which Green or Curry wasn't there and he stepped his game up big time. And what he is doing now (like Harden did in OKC) is building up his confidence to becoming one of the legit scores in this league.

    Again I said he has the potential.

    It's no surprise that the same people in here showing terrible player evaluation skills are the same people that thought that Terrence Jones was the next great PF in the NBA. SMH, some people should just realize that basketball isn't the sport for them.

    Sure, yeah, he's got potential. It's just strange to assume that potential will be realized.

    Some people should tone down their arrogance and realize that they are not in any position to tell people what sport is or isn't for them..

    LOL at people who think Klay is the messiah who will suddenly stop Mchale, JB, pbev, d12, ariza from sucking and make dmo's back better and brewer, tjones, jsmith, terry, kj from being totally useless this year

    and thinking 6th man of the playoffs and players MVP Harden has never play as a great 2nd or 3rd option or as someone coming off the bench for OKC

    Would GSW trade Klay Thompson for James Harden?

    If they lose to the Cavs then GSW just might pull the trigger on that trade

    Even if they win the rockets still won't do that trade

    You really need to get over yourself dude. You were wrong for 3 straight years about Thursday Jones. Now that alone speaks volumes about your player evaluation. You were wrong about Dmo as well.

    And from the looks of you don't have a clue about Klays Thompson game either.

    Finally man up and talk to me directly like a man should,

    No....I was never wrong, it just took you 3 years to realize you were wrong. Maybe 3 years from now you'll realize that you are wrong about Klay Thompson too....maybe not.

    Exactly, this is all opinion base. Don't know why that dude thinks his evaluation of players are better than any other member on here.

    One more thing lol even the experts and Coaches evaluations of players are spot on or completely wrong.
