Green said Thompson told him last week about his decision to move on from the Warriors. As the now-former teammates spoke, Green reassured Thompson that their bond would remain strong.“I haven’t really been able to process the feelings,” Green said. “This morning or not even this morning, maybe earlier today — I think I might have dropped a couple of tears. A tear or two.”Thompson and Green joined the Warriors early in the 2010s through the NBA draft.
Green went on to discuss Thompson’s departure for about 27 minutes of his podcast episode, breaking down some of Thompson’s struggles last season. Green said he didn’t try to talk Thompson out of finding a new home. “For me to watch him go through what he went through last year, like I know how much he loved the game of basketball,” Green said. “Klay, I don’t think there’s something that he loves more than like playing basketball and I didn’t see that last year.”Dallas Mavericks offseason central: NBA free agency, key dates, storylines and more
