Klay Thompson was benched for the first time in his career ending a streak that began as a rookie in 2012. The Splash Brothers Era is officially over in Golden State but that’s the last of the Warriors’ problems.

The warriors were blowing a 14-point fourth quarter lead to the Clippers and Klay Thompson was awful he was bricking eight of his nine threes including backto back on one possession but somehow rookie Brandon Pinsky buried a triple to get within three with 40 seconds left so just defend and tie the

Game but clay fouls Russell Westbrook yes it’s Russ at the free throw line but they had time to get a stop watch Steve K freak at Clay’s mental mistake even pods wined like oh yeah that was bad Steph tried to dab clay up but he ignored him and that mistake cost them

The game so 24 hours later Steve cerr did the unthinkable and benched Klay Thompson the Splash Brothers who won four titles together Klay who set a record for most points in a quarter and most three pointers in a game ain’t that guy anymore it has been a painful

Decline with clay and T years when he found out a rookie replaced him to close games already is this an adjustment period for you a little bit I mean he’s done it a few games obviously yeah kiding me go from you know one of the best players it’s hard for anybody you know

I’ll be honest with so how did he respond to being benched with his best game of the year clay broke his season high in scoring before the fourth quarter he came out on fire hitting seven of 13 threes and this time instead of blowing it in the final minute he

Played game winning defense stopping Keon George forcing a travel so does this mean he’s back to starting no Steve Kerr said Brandon Pinsky will continue to start next to Steph after the allar break they don’t have time to mess around they’re barely the 10 seed after

Winning eight of their last 10 games but Clay’s emotional statement after the game was even more impressive than his 35 points I realized how How Lucky I Am to still be playing this game um at 34 years old uh that just helped me realize like I can still be really good in this

League and I can’t you know get hung up on a few bad performances here or there rather than just being grateful to be out here and do what I love it’s it’s really a blessing that level of humility is extremely rare for Hall of Fame athletes the exact opposite of Alan

Iverson who demanded a trade after getting benched saying he’d rather retire Carmelo Anthony laughed in a reporter’s face when he suggested it Clay’s response makes me respect him even more as an athlete and a person but respect doesn’t win your games the Warriors have a huge problem now that the Splash

Brothers era is dead but I cannot give picks for Underdog fantasy today not because we haven’t been hitting but because there’s no games we are now at Allstar Weekend and actually this is great because Underdog is is the perfect way to make Allstar Weekend actually enjoyable to watch I’m sorry NBA but

Promo code am Hoops Steph is so much better than his teammates this dude is still hitting full court tunnel shots before games how is that real and not Ai and yeah Clay had a good game Off the Bench but it is clear when he plays fewer

Minutes the dubs win in 26 games where Clay is under 30 minutes they’re 20 and N including dnps but when he’s over 30 minutes they’re 10 and 17 oh he earned that spot on the bench so what are the dubs going to do Steph even admitted after the Clippers loss we are very

Average and very average doesn’t get it done in this league the best way to win a fifth title for Steph is to pair him with an elite two-way Wing it’s how they won in 2022 for some reason Andrew Wiggins became Prime Scotty Pippen for 3 months he defended John Morant Luca

Jason Tatum with 18 points and eight boards so unless he comes back they’re going to need a big trade now a lot of Warrior fans think we already have him his name is Jonathan kaminga the last 14 games JK has dropped 23 points on 58%

From the field and 45% from three but he dominates in the post his 2 post points are fourth only to Giannis Jaylen Bronson and Nico jic but the actual test is the playoffs can kaminga keep up this level all the way to the NBA finals it’s a completely different game but there

Are guys that we know can do it Shams just released four Superstars the Warriors have their eye on the only players Golden State would actually trade the young guys for now I want to reveal all of the those guys but one of them is LeBron James sham says the

Knicks have still not even discussed how to acquire LeBron which means while LeBron was sending little hints about being a Nick they didn’t have like an emergency meeting on how to add him instead the Warriors got to work sensing LeBron’s frustration the Dub’s owner called LA and LeBron himself said he

Wanted to stay but the door is still open to adding him this Summer the key piece will be Brony Mark Stein says I know of at least two teams on the NBA map that believe LeBron James will consider signing with them at far less than his $ 51.4 million Lakers salary if

Bronny James is on the roster and one of those teams might be Golden State the Warriors don’t have their own first round pick that goes to the Blazers top four protected and they didn’t have a second round pick until recently the only deadline move by Golden State was

Cory Joseph for the Pacers second rounder could they be planning something of course the Lakers could ruin it they also might not have their own first round pick but they have two seconds from the Clippers and the Grizzlies or wizards but even if LeBron stays in La

The dubs have their eye on three other stars the official list from Shams Paul George Kevin Durant and Giannis and Sham says their dream scenario is the Greek Freak let’s be honest this year has been miserable for the bucks they’ve already fired one coach Damen Lillard has not

Played up to his standard and just before the break they lost to the gie Grizzlies the one guy who has made threats about leaving is Giannis he has said so many times if we’re not winning I will leave and I am just being honest and the Warriors would actually have a

Huge Edge in any trade Stars usually get a ton of draft picks the dubs only have two but young Talent is better than picks Jonathan kaminga and B pods are two of the best young Assets in the NBA teams know the draft is a crapshoot but

Those two guys could be all stars maybe not on the timeline of a Steph Curry to win now but definitely to develop in Milwaukee they were too good to deal at the trade deadline for like a pascal cakam or an Alex guso but for Championship level players it’s the only

Scenario where the Young guys get traded now if that happens Chris Paul’s big contract would also need to go to make the money work but Steph’s Championship window would be wide open Again Clay could be a championship Sixth Man and have the perfect ending to his Hall of

Fame career but no matter what happens the old Splash Brothers era is over one guy the Warriors don’t have their eye on is Trey young and his trade rumors just keep getting bigger and bigger in fact the ringer just said they expect Trey to get traded this off season of course the

Lakers are out there Trey is a clutch client but if the Spurs get involved they will win any trade so I made a video exploring that how the Spurs actually pair Trey with Victor Wim Bama
