Steph Curry continues to be coming to grips with not having his Splash Brother Klay Thompson at Golden State.
When Klay instructed Steph he was leaving, Curry thought there was a means he might persuade his fellow four-time champion to remain.
“Put it this manner,” Curry instructed ESPN. “He can ask. However I don’t acquired to hear.”
When the Warriors entered coaching camp in late October, it really hit Curry that his man wouldn’t be taking the court docket with him in 2024-25.
“[Klay] would normally enter the follow facility coming off of his boat,” Curry stated. “Together with his Dockers on, no matter outfit he had on. He simply had a presence about him, a lightness when he got here within the room. And his one-liners have been at all times nice. … [I’m] speaking about him like he died, [which is] tremendous bizarre. … Life throws numerous curve balls in sports activities. You’re used to seeing individuals change locations and groups. [However] up till however every week earlier than he determined to signal Dallas, we by no means actually thought it was going to finish.”
Klay has been changed by Buddy Hield and Kerr thinks it received’t be troublesome for the group or Buddy to regulate.
“One of many causes we’re excited to get Buddy Hield is as a result of we’ll run among the similar stuff that we ran for Klay for Buddy,” Kerr instructed ESPN. “Draymond and Steph will likely be in search of him on the perimeter once they’re enjoying with him. After which the opposite new guys, Melton, Kyle Anderson — there’s a purpose we focused them too. They match any lineup, such good powerful gamers that they’re straightforward to play with.
“So I don’t anticipate a extremely troublesome transition basketball-wise. It’s extra simply the emotional void of Klay being gone after being so shut with him and going by means of a lot with him. That half is admittedly unhappy. However it’s important to transfer on.”
Kerr could also be proper, after Hield balled out in his second pre-season recreation in opposition to the Kings.
