    Klay Thompson
    One of the best in the league, arguably one of the best well rounded players. He’s probably too 5 easily. Find a flaw in his game? Defense, offense, humble. Great team player. Without him the warriors are toast.

    Thats why they'll keep him and most likely let Durant go. They have to keep Klay if they want to keep winning.

        Could be most underrated guy in the league. Can play on both ends on the court. I agree wth Durant be gone and they definitely keep Klay. Also if I'm the Warriors I'd let Draymond walk before ever thinking bout giving him major money. Steph and Klay max out and bring in new blood around them

          Klay is the least consistent of all the warriors stars. I'd let him walk. He wouldn't be as good in an isolation get your own shot system.

                Couldn’t they in theory keep everyone (if they wanted to stay) and just pay the luxury tax?

                      When you’re around great players your skills are better I wouldn’t sign this guy on another team just a typical NBA shooter also known as JJ Redick

                          barely top 5 on his own team, and yet people here putting him top 5 in the nba

                          yeah ok, i guess he's better than westbrook/harden/leonard

                              If the Suns and Warriors made a trade - Klay Thompson for Devin Booker, the Warriors would still win the title and the Suns would be a lottery team.

                              Klay’s a good role player but he’s not elevating anyone. All his offense comes off being set up by his teammates

                                    He’s good but he wouldn’t be that hard to stop on offense if he were with another team. His entire offensive arsenal is catch and shoot, and when he’s wide open he’s great at it. It works beautifully on the Warriors but any other team and he wouldn’t get those opportunities.

                                    He’s a beast on defense

                                    Def not top 5 in the league, probably not top 10 or 15 but still an amazing talent

                                        He’s one of the best because he’s always wide open. Thats not his doing, thats defenses collapsing on Durant or doubling Curry. KD is undeniably the best player in the league, Curry top 5, and Thompson is the beneficiary

                                        Not a huge knock on KT, he’s great, but any other team and he doesn’t get those shots.

                                        No hate

                                          Westbrook
                                          Harden
                                          Leonard
                                          KD
                                          Curry
                                          Lebron
                                          Giannis
                                          Irving
                                          Lillard
                                          AD
                                          Embiid

                                          Alright, before you crucify me, not saying all these guys are better but a case could be made. KT doesn’t carry the Warriors like the guys above do for their teams

                                          With that said, he’s certainly top 15, probably bottom half of top 10, Id say 7-10 range

                                            Id put Harden, KD, Curry, Giannis, AD and Leonard as top 6

                                            Next would be Westbrook, KT, Lebron, Irving, Embiid

                                            No particular order in either group

                                                GTFO here w/ the top 5 stuff. Guy can't even create his own shot let alone carry a team. Great spot up shooter who is the beneficiary of wide open looks because of the team he plays on. You make him a #1 option and he averages 19 a game

                                                  klay is the 5th best person on his own team, post your top 5 in the league and then we can laugh that you have him ahead of harden, westbrook, kawhi leonard, and about 20 other guys that he belongs below

                                                    Klay does struggle to create and get off his own shot off the dribble, he does benefit from all the other great shooters on GS which in turn gets him wide open shots at times..

                                                    He's a very good spot up shooter, one of the best for sure.. Now Step Curry can create his own shot off the dribble which makes him a better player then Klay Thompson... Klay Thompson will never be a franchise player on any playoff team if traded.. He will perhaps always be the best roll player in the league though..

                                                    Klay is a two way player.. He can D up... I'd take him on any team and he would start..

                                                      Top 5 in the NBA? So he is better than Lebron, KD, Greek Frick, Harden, Kawhai, Curry, Westbrook, AD?

                                                        Klay in a tough position....

                                                        I think Golden State brings out the best in Klay. Maybe Kerr knows how to make him better?

                                                        You put Klay solo on another team... wouldn't do jack sh#$.

                                                        Big 3 for Golden State won't last forever.... you take any one of the 3 out of that line up... G.S. wouldn't win sh#$.

                                                          Lol watch him go to another team and he would be nothing but better... him and curry are the best shooters in the league and he’s top 5 defensive player. You guys are trippin

                                                            His defense is average at best.
