Could Klay Thompson Return to Golden State?

The Golden State Warriors’ offseason has been quiet, missing key free agents and awaiting a decision on restricted free agent Jonathan Kuminga. With little movement, speculation is growing about a familiar solution: bringing Klay Thompson back to the Bay.

A Quiet Offseason

Golden State’s front office has struggled to add impactful pieces around their core of Stephen Curry, Jimmy Butler, and Draymond Green. While agreements with role players are in place, those deals hinge on Kuminga’s situation. Fans are now eyeing potential trades to shake up the roster.

The Klay Thompson Reunion

Sports Illustrated’s Ryan Shea suggests the Warriors could trade Buddy Hield and Trayce Jackson-Davis to the Dallas Mavericks for Thompson. After 13 seasons and four championships in Golden State, Thompson’s return would reunite the “Splash Brothers” and restore veteran chemistry.

The Upside and Risks

At 35, Thompson is no longer in his prime but remains a reliable floor-spacer. Trading Hield and Jackson-Davis would thin depth, yet Klay’s familiarity with Curry and championship experience could reignite the Warriors’ identity and boost their contender potential.
