If he leaves Miami and we get Love than I really like our chances.

It has the same 0.01% chance of happening as Lebron to the Clippers.
I doubt the Warriors or Clippers sell off major pieces just for a chance at signing Lebron, and walking away decimated if he goes somewhere else.
If the Warriors swing Love, they'll be a really good team. It would be crazy to turn around and risk taking a big step back like that.

Iggy just tweeted Klay is going nowhere. If we do get rid of Klay for Love would that cause a rift between management and the players? They already didn't want MJax to get fired.

What do you guys realistically see as a ceiling for Klay Thompson? I know he is good. I know he can still get better. But Klay will be paid a max contract. Either by us or by someone else. I would much rather build my team around Steph and Love than Steph and Klay.

Bleacher Report said he tweeted it, I guess not. Oops my bad he just said it.

^ Couldn't agree more.
Anyone laugh at Iguodala's comment? "One of my favorite people in the world, even though he doesn't speak."
Klay is a good player, but I don't see the cons of him leaving outweighing the pros of Love arriving.

Klay's going to be a Top 3 shooting guard in the league. Just look through the list of shooting guards in the NBA today. Who would you rather have than Klay, if you were building a team? James Harden maybe, but he's nowhere close to Klay defensively.
That being said, if trading him nets the W's Love, AND maybe the improbable scenario of getting LeBron
, then I'm all for trading him.

So IF we get Lebron we just will have crap centers? And Barnes / green as the back up forward... Uh..

It isn't going to happen, but if it were to happen I don't see the bench being a problem. Any player that wants to win would go to a team like that.

So klay, lee, Barnes for love, Martin, and #13 pick you do for sure?
Man we gonna be thin on D but we'd have to pull the trigger

Could the Return of Jeremy Lin Be on the Horizon?
Posted on June 26, 2014 by Marcus Thompson
The return of Jeremy Lin?
The Warriors, per a league source, have informed the Houston they would consider acquiring Lin from the Rockets via trade. Houston is reportedly shopping Lin in case they need to create cap space for Carmelo Anthony or LeBron James.
The Warriors have a $9.8 million trade exception leftover from the trade that sent Andris Biedrins and Richard Jefferson’s expiring contract to Utah. Though Lin is scheduled to make $14.9 million, only $8.37 will count against the salary cap. That means the Warriors can absorb Lin’s contract without giving up any players.
Nothing is imminent, the source said. It’s one of many options the Warriors are weighing.
It should be noted, the players the Warriors would prefer more is Chandler Parsons. But with no back-up guards under contract outside of Nemanja Nedovic, the Warriors could really use Lin.
They not only need a back-up for Stephen Curry, they need someone who can get to the basket. Lin’s strength is penetrating and finishing.
He’s also developed into a steady outside shooter. Last season, Lin shot 35.8 percent from the field and had a true shooting percentage of 57.2, both career-highs.
With New York and Houston, Lin has proven he can play the point guard position. So it stands to reason he is more than capable of filling in for Curry.
In 2011, the Warriors waived Jeremy Lin, who they signed as an undrafted free agent the year before, to clear cap space for a run at free agent center DeAndre Jordan. Lin went onto star become a global star, leading the Knicks to the playoffs.
Acquiring Lin, though, would put the Warriors close to next year’s luxury tax. So acquiring Lin (without dumping other salaries) would limit the teams flexibility going forward. For instance, using the full mid-level exception would like put the Warriors into the luxury tax.
Is Lin worth paying the tax for? Can the Warriors get a similar player, like Rodney Stuckey, for the mid-level and have more wiggle room under the tax? Would this hurt their chances at Kevin Love (considering taking back Kevin Martin would really be a blow to their cap)?
These are questions the Warriors would have to answer should the Rockets start shedding salary for Carmelo Anthony.
