Golden State Warriors trade rumors: Thompson linked to a move away

Despite being one of the best players in the team, Klay Thompson still finds himself a part of rumors in the National Basketball Association.

The Golden State Warriors guard showed his worth during the Warriors' playoff run last year to help lead the team to the Finals, but they eventually fell short against the Cleveland Cavaliers.

And now, he is representing the United States at the Rio Summer Olympics, but his name is being linked with a possible move away from the Warriors.

Rumors claimed that the Denver Nuggets are trying to make a move to get the "Splash Brother" and are willing to let go of Danilo Gallinari and Will Barton to get their guy.

The article would go on to claim that the Warriors are going to be very hesitant in this move, but with rumors swirling that Thompson is not willing to change his role in the team with the arrival of Kevin Durant, the Warriors might change their stance soon.

Other reports suggest that another team is looking to acquire Thompson, and that is the Los Angeles Clippers.

The Clippers have been in the news lately with the possible departure of Blake Griffin, but the Clippers are still looking to stay relevant in the league, and adding Thompson will definitely help with that.

It is no secret that many teams are keen on signing Thompson as he has accomplished a lot in five years in the league.

He was picked as an All-Star player in the last two seasons and has also won the NBA championship back in the 2014-15 season.

Last year, Thompson had a breakout season as he averaged a career-high 22.1 points while shooting 43% from beyond the arc.

At the moment, Thompson is signed until the 2018-19 season and is set to get around $16.6 million in the coming campaign.

If these talks are true, expect even more teams battling for Thompson's signature as it would definitely help their teams improve even more.
