Golden State Warriors

Klay Thompson comes from an athletic family.

That’s exactly what they did shortly after the Chicago Bulls bought out Dwyane Wade’s contract on Sunday, giving the future Hall of Fame shooting guard a call according to Alex Kennedy of USA Today.

In a move that was surprising to approximately nobody, Charles Barkley came out in opposition to the NBA moving up the start of the schedule for the 2017-18 season, in order to decrease the number of back-to-back games and eliminate any teams playing four games in five nights.

To view a potential White House visit through the lens the Warriors do is to see that an issue that could easily be perceived as black and white –or better yet, blue vs. red– is anything but. Their criticism is not politically motivated, because equality doesn’t take sides.

Whether or not the Golden State Warriors would take a trip to the White House and meet President Donald Trump after winning last year’s Championship was the hot topic at Friday’s media day at the team’s facility in downtown Oakland.

On Saturday morning, President Donald Trump sent out a tweet disinviting Stephen Curry and the Golden State Warriors from the White House, after Curry and a number of other Warriors said they were not interested in making the traditional DC visit after winning the NBA Finals last season.

Zaza Pachulia’s controversial close out of Kahwi Leonard in last year’s Western Conference Finals has led the NBA to institute new policies for the upcoming season, and stricter penalties for reckless closeouts on jump shooters.

Despite comments throughout the season that would indicate otherwise, there is still an outside chance the Warriors could make the customary visit to the White House traditionally extended to the team that wins the NBA Finals, Ramona Shelburne of ESPN is reporting.

On Monday, Durant deleted a series of tweets criticizing the Thunder organization, his former teammates and former head coach Billy Donovan. Curiously, the tweets were written in the third-person, leading many to believe that Durant meant to send them from a separate, anonymous account he uses to defend himself.
