Had a source tell me at least one member of Warriors brain trust wouldn't trade Klay Thompson for Kevin Love straight up

@ThompsonScribe If I'm Klay and the FO thinks I'm better than KLove, I'm asking for Joe Johnson money

Well, @BekeGSW it's not about Klay being better than Love. It's about Klay impacting two positions

This is not as obvious a call as many are making out to be. As I wrote before, they are weighing a fundamental shift in the team's core

MY NOTE: Not to mention that Thompson plays defense and Love doesn't.

Kevin Love's market value is wayyyyy over-inflated. GSW is better off just adding peripheral pieces than trading any of their core.

I forget if anyone has posted this before, but Zach Lowe wrote a detailed look at the pros and cons of the Warriors doing the trade.

KJ, I don't think Love's market value is over-inflated, but the Warriors can do a whole lot worse than not doing the deal.
