I just want a seven part series on the legend that is Klay. People need to know. Only you could do it, Alch. Gonna miss watching him do bad...
Steven Barba
Can you imagine if Klay wasnt injured... Starters: Curry Klay Wiggins Green Wisemen Guard: Poole FA (Bradley, Matthews, maybe KCP) Rookie (Mannion) Wing: Oubre Paschall Rookie (Jessup) Big: Chriss Looney FA (Ibaka, Baynes, Tristan Thompson, Gasol)
Andrej Krickovic
Heartbroken for Klay. My favorite Dub and one of the nicest dudes on the planet. Almost don't' even want to play out the season with him gone. Fuck 20202. Let's tank this one out, develop the youngsters, save some cash and rack up another top pick for 2021-22.
Kevin Chan
I think Oubre is a good acquisition without sacrificing any actual players on our team. Now they just need to get 1-2 guys in FA to have a contending team
Steven Stanley
Can't replace Klay with one guy but Oubre will help and has size and length and can take some of the minutes. I'm sure they will get at least one more vet player for the 2/3 positions, hopefully one that can defend.
Raze
Now that Oubre is on, you think they gonna flip Wiggins into something else? Or trade them both for someone like Beal and change?
Paradox
Kelly oubre got signed. Thank god... it will help
a starting 5 of steph wiggins draymond marqueese and wiseman, playing to their potential could be devastating, no?
Stevie Ray
If they’re willing to spend, and the details of that 9 milli dp exception is as the tweet showed, that gives the Warriors opportunity to add 3 substantial players. They’re in serious talks over Oubre with OKC for the T.E, have their 6 million dollar midLevel, and now this DP exception at 9. As devastating as waking up to this news was/is, the question of is this team still a contender, that’s really up to front office to spend an obscene amount of money to fill a Klay sized hole which is not possible with one player, but with 3, maybe.
Stevie Ray
Depends on the the next couple of moves this week, along with Steph’s mentality. Gonna need MVP caliber Curry through the playoffs for it to be possible...in that scenario everything is.
Luke Zhang
Was thinking about Bogdanavic too, but if he's turning down that Bucks deal to go to RFA I'd imagine he's looking to get paid. If Bob somehow pulls that off that'd be a steal.
John Z
Hoping for the best for Klay, just depressing. Think we just got Oubre as I was watching

Austin is a guy who has come across as a coaches son weenie .. he also has as u said had times where you're like this guys not real. That being said I think we should def get him. He's matured, he's humbled, he's worked through very difficult environments where maybe he didn't get to show it all, he's big, and he has absolutely shown flashes (remember that one game bros?). Also, he's got edge and confidence . We are going to need that. Dray is going to need some backup on the tude Edit- just as I confess my love for Austin Rivers, Meyers goes and gets a real dog !

Moving out of Roaracle to cash in with a new stadium in SF seriously angered the basketball gods. I mean I don't *really* believe that... but I sorta believe it.
Major Powers
How much would it take to trade for PJ Tucker?
Ko Keechul
Bruhh 2020 strikes again. Godspeed, Klay. Far as filling the roster, I also think Bogdan Bogdanovic would be a good fit - Alch mentioned a "nastiness" to his game, that killer instinct. And I think he'd be pretty deadly next to Curry and Draymond. His salary would be right around what we could afford too, I think, yeah? Especially if they go for that disability exception?
Celebrini gotta go, right? It's starting to feel like more than a coincidence to have players constantly getting re-injured. KD, Klay, Loon...
Slurpy
What about going after PJ tucker for the injury exception? Having him would give us incredible versatility in the front court with him, Draymond, Woseman, Chriss and Looney allowing for all sorts of lineups.
Alex deB
Sacramento Kings' Bogdan Bogdanovic to enter restricted free agency. Hope they get him.
Paradox
I really didn't want to believe it, I was really hoping it was a calf tear like what KD had when we feared it was the Achilles tear against the Rockets. 2020 is truly a horrible year. I don't believe the dynasty is over. I'm gonna give you straight up facts about the impact Klay had, even if it paints him in a bad light. Over the last 3 seasons, he's had nowhere near the same on/off impact metrics as Curry, Draymond, or KD on both offense and defense. Ben Taylor argues of all the all stars he has looked at, Klay has the biggest drop in points and TS% in the last 5 seasons. I was optimistic this was about to change when he had the most consistent series ever in the 2019 finals, it looked like he didn't even reach his full potential. This is why this news hit me hard... I also believe KD's presence hurt the chemistry Klay and Curry had before 2017, not allowing him to play at his full potential. As much as it sucks however, we will still be a high level playoff team 100% with Curry, Draymond, and Wiggins. But we are going to need another consistent 3 and D player.
Dave Han
Injuries have a way of snapping us out of our obsessive, selfish fandom...at least for a bit. Worst case scenario: Klay never plays (right) again, our team collapses into perennial losers. That’ll suck, but we have been blessed to witness one of the greatest eras of the game. Now that Klay’s out for the coming season, I’m not even worried about the playoffs and have switched to thinking it’ll be another rebuilding year. We already got enough consecutive Finals appearances. I don’t want us chasing San Antonio style playoff presence cuz I think that’ll cause more injuries like this. Maybe the best any franchise can hope for is sustainable, cyclical chances at the chip. Maybe we as fans need to reset our now spoiled expectations of how our team should perform every year.
I like jae crowder and joe harris... What about bogdan bogdanavic?
hugojimcam
Mabey we can get him Cheap 😂😂
Chris Goodman
Draymond gonna have show somthing this season to make it make sense to keep him around pass this season
Wilson Wang
Praying for Klay man. So much respect for everything he’s done over the years🙏🏻 thanks for your words Alch
Ezra Abbey
Jae Crowder would be great, he a dog for real, we could use that. FYI Alch, Malik Beasley was arrested and charged for drug possession and aiming a rifle at strangers a few weeks, not the greatest show of character.
José Francisco
Bro, Wiggins literally puts up 20 ppg every year, don't be so negative, things will be just fine, we still have a chance of winning the title, as little as it may be
Ivan (Vanya) Kashperuk
Super bummed out about this. I was literally watching NBA to see three things: Klay, Kobe and Lebron on his ass.. Why??
Diosdado
Why are fans so pessimistic that they won't make the playoffs now? I believe in Steph and the organization
Austin Z
Definitely prayers up man sucks to hear. As a blazers fan it’s crazy to imagine this but. Would it be impossible to trade for Gary Trent Jr? He’s smaller but he’s a good developing 3 and D that can be had without paying a ton. Idk what you trade us but it’s who I thought of that could help
Chris Williams
feel horrible for klay. i cant imagine how excited he was to get back at it. he's my favorite player too. such a good person.
Aldrich Luna
Dam man why?? Prayers up to Klay and his well being!
Anthony Gray
This is sad.... The replacements for Klay are down-right nearly as depressing as the injury. Hopefully we can keep developing in-house (minus Damion Lee). Wiggins, Wiseman, and Paschall better be ready to carry a heavy load. I'm not sure we make the playoffs. We can't ask Steph to carry us. If Wiggins don't step up to the tune of an efficient 20 ppg minimum I don't think we make the post season... :/
Walter Kim
Klay is also my favorite all time....BUT FUCK!!!!!! Glad he’s getting paid but I know he’s not all about that. Nothing but bad news after moving to SF. Nothing but bad news in 2020. Just worried Steph is getting older and losing his twilight prime years.
Anthony Gray
Prayers up Klay. Praying for his mentals! Come back strong my G!
Klay is my favorite player of all time. I just want to see this dude ball. I know he's gonna be fine but I am hoping that this isn't the end of the splash brothers.
KendrickTheCreative
I am so hurt but I know everything will work out. Probably a blessing in disguise and we didn't even know it. Klay is so tough he'll fight through and come back shooting lights out. Positive mindset going forward
Jacob
Incredibly sad, but I’m still excited to watch some warriors basketball again. In my eyes, they already got their chips, now it’s time to let loose and have some fun.
You reckon we still have any sort of chance winning a chip this season alch?
Spence
I just can't believe it.
Heartbreaking stuff man......
