Gilbert Arenas: Klay Thompson never improved his game
NBA Central: Gilbert Arenas says Klay Thompson never improved his game “Someone like Klay, he never improved to me. You came in as a spot shooter, and even though you have 4 rings, you’re still a spot shooter” (h/t @funakistats / via @GilsArenaShow ) pic.twitter.com/HAG1TYisWK

Klay Thompson: “What are we — 10 and 12? There’s 60 freaking regular season games left.”
“I will never, ever lose faith in this group. We’ve been through too many battles together. I’ll never lose faith. Never. Ever. Never ever. Never lose faith.”

What’s wrong with the Warriors and how worried are they about the 10-12 start?
A ton of interesting quotes from OKC. Includes Klay Thompson responding to Charles Barkley referring to them as the Titanic. theathletic.com/5123838/2023/1… – 2:48 AM

Mostly sharp defensive half from the Warriors. Terrible ball security. They turned it over 15 times in 24 minutes, but lead the Thunder 62-56 in OKC. Klay Thompson and Andrew Wiggins combined: 25 points, five made 3s. – 9:09 PM

Two early 3s from Andrew Wiggins and one from Klay Thompson. Warriors up 16-11. This starting lineup survives when those two make jumpers. – 8:19 PM

The Warriors are starting traditionally again tonight. They are a -25 together, but Steve Kerr isn’t ready to go away from it.

Zach Lowe: I’ve had four executives from other teams in the last 72 hours asked me, ‘Would they ever trade Klay Thompson?” And the reason they’re asking is because teams see somewhat of an opportunity there. In terms of, ‘Can we get involved in a deal? Would they have to attach an asset to trade Klay Thompson if they want to get meaningful win-now talent with multiple years left on their contract in exchange for Klay Thompson?’ -via Spotify / December 2, 2023
Zach Lowe: To be clear, the Warriors do not want to trade Klay Thompson. They have no desire to do it. I would bet heavily against it ever happening. -via Spotify / December 2, 2023
