Meanwhile, Steph Curry scores 60 points and yet they've lost to the Atlanta Hawks. Kuminga's streak of 20+ points or more in the last 7-8 games has ended. Klay Thompson has 10 points (ouch).
That hurt the Warriors. However, despite his 60 points performance, a lot of speculators aren't happy with it because he aren't sharing the ball well.
Curry had 38 attempts overall and made 23 of those. He is hot with 60% shooting percentage, but I understand why some are frustrated, maybe if he were able to win that game, his many attempts wouldn't matter. Klay Thompson was just lost in the picture, I think this guy should also be traded. IMO, he was already given enough time to get back to his old self but he is not the same anymore. 4-19 shooting? That's too bad, if he could have improve a bit, maybe they were able to win the game.
Klay these days really is a gamble.
Only in 1 or 2 of 5 games he does actually perform, the rest he looks just awful.
And he actually wonders why the Warriors don't want to pay him what he is hoping for. Still I think they won't trade him, unless somebody makes a good offer including draft picks but if he doesn't accept considerably less money he will go into free agency and play somewhere else next season.
With performances like this it's also hard to make yourself interesting for other teams. Klay is not know for leadership or mentorship, just for shooting and to be a 3-and-D player. Since the 3 is not falling and he is getting slow on D, what is making him a target for other teams now?
I didn't notice his defense. I think he isn't really known as a good defender. People sees his good 3 point shooting, and there are times in the past playoffs before he got injured seriously, that he was the reason why they were able to come back and win the series. There's a name "GAME 6 KLAY", and it's dedicated for him because he sometimes act like a cheat mode on his game and shots with a high level of accuracy, now, we haven't seen that anymore.
In short, Klay's performance has now declined, hence his value will follow. He will not be traded since he will become a free agent after this season, after that, we will know if the Warriors are still interested in keeping him but most likely they'll not waste money for him, unless he'll bargain and would receive a lower salary.
