Several years ago, the Warriors reportedly decided against trading Klay Thompson for Kevin Love, who was a member of the Minnesota Timberwolves at the time. Hindsight is 20/20, but safe to say Golden State remains happy with its choice.
While Love has been an All-Star and NBA champion in his own right, Thompson was an essential element of the Warriors' dynasty and will remain a huge part of their core moving forward.
But what if Golden State had been able to acquire Love without having to give up Thompson? Surely that would have been more palatable, as long as Steph Curry didn't take Thompson's place in the deal.
