Too many stars are bound to collide

There is nothing wrong with the Warriors right now. Chemistry is going wonderful, they’re newly crowned champs yet again, and the core doesn’t look like it’s leaving just yet.

Steph Curry is a free agent this summer, but the Warriors won’t let him hang for very long. Durant will be coming back as well, with Draymond also in the mix.

Klay signed a massive four year deal a few seasons ago, and will be getting paid handsomely for two more seasons. While this is deadly for the rest of the league and better known as the team’s death lineup, Thompson has hinted he may want out eventually.

There are reports that he’s thought about leaving, but won’t because of the crazy amount of winning. But what happens if the stars in Golden State start butting heads?

It hasn’t seemed like it’ll happen, but people are quick to forget how things can change with that type of talent around. Kyrie Irving reached out to Kobe Bryant recently to ensure the same mistakes didn’t happen with him and LeBron like they did with Kobe and Shaq.

With Kevin Durant not looking to leave, it’s very easy to lean towards Klay being the odd man out.
