The Golden State Warriors have been an NBA powerhouse for years, but the recent departure of Klay Thompson has left fans and players alike feeling a mix of emotions. One player who has been particularly affected by Thompson’s departure is Draymond Green, who recently shared a heartwarming story about his son, DJ’s reaction to the news.
Green revealed that his son, DJ, was devastated when he found out that Thompson would not be returning to the Warriors. Green explained that his son was so emotional that he was “about to cry” upon hearing the news.
The Golden State Warriors have officially parted ways with Klay Thompson. In a sign-and-trade with the Warriors, the Dallas Mavericks offered him a three-year, $50 million contract. With that, his twelve-year career playing alongside his longtime teammates, Draymond Green and Stephen Curry, came to an end.
Though his departure from the team was long anticipated, it was difficult to see Thompson part ways with Curry and Green, who he now considers more like brothers than just teammates. Green’s son was aware of the situation to the extent that he simply asked Golden State why they hadn’t acquired Luka Doncic to stop Thompson from leaving when he learned that Thompson was leaving.
The son of Green asks a rather amusing question. Given that Doncic recently guided the Mavericks to the NBA Finals in 2024, the Warriors had no chance of obtaining him. Furthermore, stopping Thompson from leaving was just not going to happen, considering all the information that had emerged about their messy breakup.
As a result, Curry and Green are the only two members of the Warriors big-three remaining, while Thompson joins a new team. They won four titles together and were unquestionably one of the best teams in the NBA during this time.
In the meantime, Green can take solace in the fact that his son’s reaction is a testament to the impact that Thompson has had on the Warriors and their fans. And who knows, maybe one day DJ will have the chance to see his favorite player back on the court with the Warriors, bringing joy and excitement to fans once again.
