As teams across the league prepare for NBA Summer League in Las Vegas and they fill out their rosters in free agency, Damian Lillard continues to be at the forefront of everyone’s minds.

Draymond Green left little time for drama in free agency, putting pen to paper on a four-year, $100 million contract Friday afternoon with the Golden State Warriors soon after the player movement period officially opened.

Klay Thompson has been an instrumental part of the Golden State Warriors dynasty, that much is certain. But as the Warriors know all too well, keeping a championship-level core together is an expensive endeavor. They even had to trade away Jordan Poole for Chris Paul with the intention of cutting future costs in mind. Soon […]

Golden State Warriors shooting guard Klay Thompson is one of the best shooters of all time. That fact pretty much cannot be disputed.

The Warriors’ ability to restock […]

Klay Thompson’s season didn’t end exactly as planned.
