From Berger:
We had heard the Andre Miller rumor yesterday from Yahoo's Adrian Wojnarowski, but Sacramento's interest in Klay Thompson is new and somewhat surprising at first glance. Golden State loves Thompson and probably wants to keep him and Steph together long term. Still, the Warriors will have $50.57 million in salary locked in for just Bogut, Lee, Iguodala and Curry in 2015-16, the year Thompson becomes a Free Agent. Sacramento has just $30.82 million locked up for that season (although that number goes up if you think the Kings re-sign Isaiah and/or Gay long term).
Getting Thompson from the Warriors will be no easy feat, especially since he can get an extension this summer and render all this moot anyway. Still, it's nice to hear how aggressive this front office is being in seeking improvement. I expect a trade or two more before the deadline in February and maybe again at draft time. We're not likely to become a good team this season, but we can definitely lay the foundation.
