Affected by Klay Thompson’s heartbreaking package for the season, the Warriors quickly rebounded by attracting Kelly Oubre in their nets. An excellent recruit in the Bay.
No time for pity. After the terrible news of the upcoming 2nd white season for Klay Thompson, the Warriors are already looking ahead to the rest of the roster. The Bay Front Office selected James Wiseman in the Draft, filling his gap inside. From now on, we need people on the wings.
That’s good, since Golden State will finally activate its famous trade exception at $ 17 million to bring in Kelly Oubre, traded in Oklahoma City from the Suns a few days ago.
As so often, it is the eternal Adrian Wojnarowski who learned the news:
The Warriors will absorb Oubre Jr., and his $14.4M salary into their $17.2M trade exception once deal is done. https://t.co/GcLaIlnwNF

Golden State is very close to a deal with Oklahoma City to acquire Kelly Oubre.
The Warriors will absorb the salary at 14.4 million Oubre in their exception trade at 17.2 million dollars once the deal is validated.
As you will have understood, it is only a question of formalities, but the transfer is recorded. It remains to be seen which package Golden State will send to OKC in exchange.
We know that the GM of the Thunder, Sam Presti, stacks the picks of the first round in a rather masterful way. Will he acquire new ones? Is he aiming for a young player in the balance? Both ? The answer to all of these questions should come very quickly, and the article will obviously be updated instantly when it does.
In any case, the Warriors strike a very nice blow by recovering Tsunami Papy, beefy on both sides of the field, and perfectly adapted to the system of Dubs at first sight. In the absence of Klay Thompson, he should even start.
Bob Myers never lets himself down, and he’s just proven it once again. Very good pick from the 2015, 2017 and 2018 champions!
