I always thought GSW would be a nice landing spot for Andrew Wiggins because he has No. 1 pick talent but the mentality of a third option. Steph will never be threatened for shot attempts. Neither will Klay Thompson when he returns. AW can show up when he feels like it & it’s OK. – 8:40 PM

“I saw somebody on the TV the other day talking about, The Warriors aren’t contenders because they’ve had a soft schedule. Buddy, we got the MVP, a defensive player of the year. That kind of disrespect bothers me.”

More on this storyline
“I love it,” Thompson told Sports Illustrated last week, through a defiant grin. “I love it. I hope people keep doubting us. I saw somebody on the TV the other day talking about, The Warriors aren’t contenders because they’ve had a soft schedule. Buddy, we got the MVP, a defensive player of the year. That kind of disrespect bothers me. We have so many champions, guys who have done it in the highest pressure moments, and you’re still gonna question our ability? I love it. But whatever. That’s what talking heads are paid to do.” -via Sports Illustrated / November 16, 2021
“We need Klay back,” Green said. “That will be a huge boost for us. But in the meantime, guys are stepping up, guys are playing well and we’re in a good groove.” -via Sports Illustrated / November 16, 2021
Anthony Slater: James Wiseman and Klay Thompson remained back in the Bay Area during this Warriors road trip. Rick Celebrini and a few coaches are there. The team will bring players into the facility to scrimmage with both. Advancing to 5-on-5 full contact is expectation. Big step for both. -via Twitter @anthonyVslater / November 13, 2021
