“I thought Klay really showed that he was agreeable to the sixth-man role the second half of the year, even though eventually we put him back in the starting lineup,” Kerr said. “I think that’s got to be an option going forward. I would prefer not to play him 35 minutes. There were games down the stretch, I think the New Orleans game, I think I played him 38 minutes. We’ve got to be able to play him less. But in order to do that we’ve got to add more shooting to the roster, frankly. We can add more shooting and limit Klay’s minutes.”

More on this storyline
Anthony Slater: Here is Mike Dunleavy on the Warriors’ financial equation entering the summer and the desire to keep Klay Thompson. Dunleavy said there is no directive to duck the luxury tax, but it is unreasonable to pay $400 million for a non-playoff team. pic.twitter.com/MsWpAtePrI -via Twitter @anthonyVslater / April 18, 2024
Kendra Andrews: In addition to saying he wants Klay Thompson back, Dunleavy says he can’t imagine a scenario where Draymond Green isn’t a part of the roster moving forward. -via Twitter @kendra__andrews / April 18, 2024
“Klay will stay if he feels like hes been appreciated and paid what is appropriate,” Myers explained. “But if he’s not, that’s the question. “It’s always kind of a pride component, because it’s not money. People will say, ‘Well, Klay Thompson has made all this money.’ Fine. But you know what? There’s a pride component to it for any professional athlete. So, it’s not just the money. He doesn’t need any more money for the rest of his life. That’s not the point, though. If somebody comes along and doubles the Warriors’ offer, things might change.” -via NBC Sports Bay Area / April 18, 2024
