The NBA trade rumors continue as the new season progresses. According to the latest NBA buzz, Klay Thompson will soon part ways with Golden State Warriors to join Indiana Pacers. Meanwhile, Nerlens Noel is also leaving Philadelphia 76ers to join Toronto Raptors or Boston Celtics.
GSW has an ideal roster in the NBA league today. However, it looks like maintaining a number of NBA All-Star in a team is not that efficient after all for Warriors.
After having two of the top three NBA players in the league, Kevin Durant and Stephen Curry, Golden State still faces the bitterness of defeat. With a number of NBA All-Star in GSW, Klay Thompson, Draymond Green and Andre Iguodala, fans are rooting too much for the Warriors only to be disappointed twice.
Golden State Warriors need to update their roster to win their next NBA title. According to iTechPost, GSW is letting go of Stephen Curry's Splash Brother, Klay Thompson to Indiana Pacers. When Kevin Durant joined Warriors all eyes were already on Klay Thompson being affected the most. The GSW's shooting guard was reportedly the odd man out in Golden State Warriors and he seemed to confirm this by struggling with his shooting percentage.
A Golden State Warriors - Indiana Pacers trade is possible because the latter has Paul George on the trading block. Thus, if Warriors and Pacers push this trade, it might involve the swap of Klay Thompson and Paul George.
On the other side, there are rumors of a potential Klay Thompson and Nerlens Noel swap. However, SportsRageous finds this trade close to impossible as it is unlikely for Warriors to trade Klay Thompson, one of their best players for a limited offensive player like Nerlens Noel.
Speaking of Nerlens Noel, rumors are rife that the big man will be a restricted player this summer. Reports have it that Nerlens Noel might join Toronto Raptors or Boston Celtics.
Per ESPN, Toronto Raptors is a potential landing team for Philadelphia 76ers big man. Jared Sullinger is currently injured and Nerlens Noel can fill his void.
Meanwhile, Boston Celtics is another potential team for Nerlens Noel. Some sources believe that a Nerlens Noel-Marcus Smart trade is plausible.
