Heading into the summer, the Golden State Warriors knew they would have to find a temporary replacement for their All-Star shooting guard, Klay Thompson. So far, the Dubs have done an incredible job at acquiring wing talent to make up for Klay’s absence.
Obviously, the Warriors are not looking to replace Klay forever. The max contract they just gave Thompson clearly indicates that he will be with the franchise for a long time. However, due to the ACL injury he suffered in the NBA Finals, it was important the Dubs looked to find suitable wings to fill in for Klay.
