This summer has had a bit of a "the band is breaking up" feel for the Golden State Warriors. And, naturally, some departures hit closer to home than others.
Clearly, Klay Thompson has a lovely friendship with Quinn Cook because the normally understated star had effusive words upon learning Cook was signing a contract with the Lakers.
"Gonna miss going to battle with u bro," Thompson wrote on Cook's Instagram. "One of the best teammates and highest character guys I ever been around. Lakeshow got a real one!!"
The move is particularly poignant for Cook, whose late father, Ted, was a diehard Lakers fan who stayed up late on the East Coast to watch their games.
