The Golden State Warriors have big shoes to fill after the departure of franchise legend Klay Thompson. He was a four-time champion, a fan favorite, and one of the greatest shooters the game has ever seen. His skillset on the court fit seamlessly with fellow teammates Stephen Curry and Draymond Green, as the core three served as the foundation of the NBA’s most recent dynasty.
Replacing Thompson’s impact on the court will be key for the Warriors this upcoming season, so part of the plan to do so was to acquire sharpshooter Buddy Hield in a sign-and-trade with the Philadelphia 76ers.
