Sharpshooter Klay Thompson is coming off a successful run in Spain during the FIBA World Cup. Some questioned Golden State for not pulling the trigger on a Kevin Love deal, but they refused to give up Thompson and we can see why.
Thompson will be seeking a max contract soon, which his agent fully thinks he deserves based on his bold statement.
Duffy is widely known to be demanding a maximum contract that the Warriors would prefer not to pay. His reasoning? He sees Thompson as the best shooting guard in the game.
“I don’t want (Los Angeles Lakers star) Kobe Bryant to go crazy, but there’s some uncertainty as to who he is right now (because of injuries that limited him to six games last season),” Duffy told USA TODAY Sports. “But I think Klay Thompson right now is the top two-way, two-guard in basketball. I think when you look at his body of work, when you look at what he accomplished guarding point guards on a regular basis (last season), I think it’s pretty clear.”
These remarks will surely add fuel to Kobe’s fire.
