“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.” -via The Athletic / 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
