Is he ready to do either of those things, or is he going to do what seems likely to me and demand a starter's role and paycheck, ruining some other team? He's washed, obviously, at least to the extent that he'll never be a great defender and splash brother again. He's probably still better than THJ, so I get it...just rocky waters ahead on that path, imo.
If Thompson is better than THJ, it's not by much. THJ is actually shooting much better from 3 this season- THJ at 39% and Klay at 34%.
Klay is probably a little better defensively. Neither is very good on that end.
I'd rather have THJ here. He took a discount to stay with the Mavericks rather than sign with the Pelicans. The declining contract is nice. I like THJ and think we should keep him here.
If we send him to the Warriors, Draymond Green might beat him to death. THJ deserves better. I don't see that Klay really improves our team that much. I also don't think the Warriors would trade him unless it's for an upgrade.
