Klay Thompson’s Stunning Reality Brings LeBron-Bronny James’ Possibility Alive for Warriors
The Golden State Warriors will be faced with a predicament soon. Klay Thompson, a vital cog in their championship runs, is about to become an unrestricted free agent. A recent Bay Area Sports Radio debate sparked a debate that had already been making rounds on the internet: could Klay’s possible departure, along with Chris Paul’s potential release by the Dub Nation, pave the way for a LeBron James and Steph Curry partnership?
This scenario becomes more appealing and plausible if LeBron’s son, Bronny James enters next season’s NBA draft. A team drafting Bronny would also have the opportunity to bag King James.
Keeping Klay means exceeding the luxury tax limit. This luxury tax hinders their ability to add pieces elsewhere, forcing them to possibly choose between the loyalty of a champion and the cold reality of the salary cap. Golden State might choose to release Paul to free up cap space. He may be a future Hall of Famer, but injuries and his fitness issues, alongside Stephen Curry, have apparently limited his effectiveness. But will the biggest NBA rivals end up joining their hands tomorrow?
Whispers about a possible LeBron James trade to the GSW have been floating on the web for some time. With James becoming a free agent, the Warriors wouldn’t miss a chance to sign him if young Bronny James throws his hat in the ring too. The Warriors are caught in a three-point play: loyalty to Klay Thompson, the ever-present financial problems, and the possibility of bagging the legendary LBJ.
Draymond Green addressed the potential James-Curry pairing on the ‘7 PM in Brooklyn Podcast’ with Carmelo Anthony & Kid Mero. Green noted, “Locker room wise, I think you have mature individuals that understand each other because we all have the same, we got families we got like appreciation for where we are in our spaces, like-minded individuals.”
About the actual basketball, big man Green, in his optimism stated, “The basketball, I think that’s the easiest part because you got a bunch of guys who know the game and ain’t in competition with the next guy. Very at peace with where they are and so the number one thing would be to win…looking at it I think that team win a championship.”
The possibility of this scenario seems increasingly likely. This summer promises to be an exciting one, with the potential for unprecedented roster changes and a powerhouse Warriors team featuring both son-father James duo! Share your thoughts in the comments!
