The Warriors are hurt. Beyond losing, which can always happen, they feel hurt because they were barely able to compete against the Sacramento Kings. In this way they said goodbye to a 2023-24 season in which they have lived in a continuous up and down and that, of course, forces them to consider important changes for the next one, since the magic of Stephen Curry every time He has fewer years left.
Knowing all this, and with a very unfriendly face after the defeat, Steve Kerr spoke to the media and had no qualms when it came to speaking emphatically about Klay Thompson, who said goodbye to the course with a horrible game of zero points with a 0 out of 10 at launch. Does this change the coach’s plans with him? Here is his message about the future of the guard.
«We desperately want Klay back. He still has good years ahead of him. I know I speak for everyone in the franchise: we want him back. Obviously, on the other hand there is the business, but we love him for what Klay has meant to this organization, as well as for how good he continues to be,” he says.

Beyond the contribution he can give at a sporting level, Kerr makes it clear that there is an emotional component in that determination, since the dynasty of the last decade could not be understood without the contribution of Thompson, whom he has also seen struggle enormously to return. to be the player he was.
«I love Klay very much. I mean what he meant to me in these 10 years that we have been together. I’ve seen him the last few years fighting the feeling of devastation from injuries and I’ve seen him really change his approach during this season… so tonight it was hard to see him fight like that… We went through incredible ups and downs and that was hard for Klay and for the entire team,” he says.

Following his coach’s line, Stephen Curry also made it clear that continuing to have Klay by his side is undoubtedly his wish. «I can’t imagine myself without these two guys (Klay and Draymond). We’re not going to play forever, but we’ve been through a lot together… I know they want to win, I know I want to win, and that’s the only thing that matters to me. I just want to win. Whatever it means, I just want to win,” he says.
