Golden State Warriors Klay Thompson may soon wear the jersey of Milwaukee Bucks. This happens after the latest NBA issue surfaced that Thompson is currently having bad terms with his teammates due to poor attitude and lack of sportsmanship during the game.
According to the Inquisitr, the trouble began when the Warriors failed to win against Cleveland Cavaliers in the 2016 NBA Finals. The shooting guard's teammates were reportedly unhappy with his behavior in connection to the team's Game 7 defeat. Some of the Golden State players, particularly power forward Draymond Green suggested sending Thompson elsewhere.
After that Game 7, Green remained on the Oracle Arena floor to congratulate LeBron James and the rest of the players on the Cleveland Cavaliers. Thompson, on the other hand, instead of remaining on the floor and congratulate the other team, went directly to the locker room without shaking hands with any of the Cavs players.
Middleton and Jabari would replace Thompson, Looney
Other members of the team have also expressed their desire to see Thompson playing for another team. According to Cavaliers Nation, the Golden State Warriors is currently talking with the Milwaukee Bucks for exchanging Thompson and Looney for shooting guard Khris Middleton and power forward Jabari Parker.
Middleton would replace Thompson at the shooting guard position if the Warriors will struggle in the season and consider the trade of the two players. Middleton would be a good replacement if not for his current health issues.
According to the reports, Middleton had undergone surgery on his left hamstring a month before the start of the 2016-17 season. If probably not of the injury, the deal could have been of interest of both teams. Warriors have decided to trade off Thompson for a player who will be out for an extended period of time.
The four-player deal is legal under NBA rules as confirmed by the ESPN NBA Trade Machine. This deal could probably offer benefits on both teams. Thompson's exit from Warriors would give peace of mind to the team, but his talent could be a good asset to the Bucks.
