Klay Thompson, Steph Curry say they believe Thompson won't be traded
Golden State Warriors guards Klay Thompson and Steph Curry said they don't believe Thompson will be traded, according to Yahoo Sports.
Thompson has been rumored as a central target for the Minnesota Timberwolves in a potential trade involving Timberwolves forwardKevin Love. But the Warriors have reportedly balked at including Thompson in a trade, which has so far prevented a deal.
After speaking with new Warriors head coach Steve Kerr, Thompson told Yahoo he "got that vibe" he won't be traded. Curry echoed that sentiment, saying it's evident the Warriors see Thompson as an investment they don't want to give up.
Love, 25, has been at the center of trade discussions this offseason as he's made it clear he's likely to opt out of his contract after the 2014-15 season. The Cleveland Cavaliershave been the other team rumored to be a strong contender for a trade since they signed LeBron James, though it's unclear if they're willing to include No. 1 pick Andrew Wiggins in a deal, which could be a sticking point for the Timberwolves.
