Klay Thompson’s dad has to stop throwing him under the bus.
Kevin Durant will become a free agent in 2016, and plenty of teams have let it be known that he is their number one target.
KD could choose to return to Oklahoma City as well.
Thompson‘s dad and former NBA player Mychal Thompson — told Warriors World that he knowledge from a source — that “Golden State will go hard after Durant as well.”
I also heard it on good authority from a team that plays in the Bay Area that they’re going to go hard after Kevin Durant.
Well we have an idea of who the good authority is — but we have to assume that those are off the record conversations.
Either that, or the elder Thompson is creating his own hot takes. The Warriors have four players under contract for 2016-17 making big money
Draymond Green is likely to get a max deal from Golden State as well. Even with David Lee’s contract coming off the books, the Warriors will have only $11 million to offer Durant.
That’s not going to cut it.
