Steph Curry remains 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 manner he may persuade his fellow four-time champion to remain.
“Put it this manner,” Curry instructed ESPN. “He can ask. However I don’t bought to pay attention.”
When the Warriors entered coaching camp in late October, it truly hit Curry that his man wouldn’t be taking the courtroom with him in 2024-25.
“[Klay] would often enter the observe facility coming off of his boat,” Curry mentioned. “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 all the time nice. … [I’m] speaking about him like he died, [which is] tremendous bizarre. … Life throws a variety of curve balls in sports activities. You’re used to seeing folks change locations and groups. [However] up till however per 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 gained’t be tough for the staff 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 shall be on the lookout for him on the perimeter after they’re taking part in with him. After which the opposite new guys, Melton, Kyle Anderson — there’s a motive we focused them too. They match any lineup, such sensible powerful gamers that they’re straightforward to play with.
“So I don’t anticipate a very tough transition basketball-wise. It’s extra simply the emotional void of Klay being gone after being so shut with him and going via a lot with him. That half is absolutely unhappy. However you must transfer on.”
Kerr could also be proper, after Hield balled out in his second pre-season recreation in opposition to the Kings.
