Wanted to rephrase this. Not only Durant and Thompson were injured. I think most of their team are injured at that time. And that's what makes them lost the finals. I forgot who said this but this was the phrase (non-verbatim) "Probably the reason why the warriors didn't win this season is because of injury." Well, some of you might say that they even can't beat Toronto in regular season but Warriors are pretty much tough during playoffs.

I doubt they will risk by putting Thompson in playoffs, dude had a serious injury and one of the best defenders in the league, in order to keep his lateral movement going he has to recover really well and I doubt they will have a big chance to win the ring this year so there is no reason to force Klay to come back and play for just 10 games or whatever he can play.

He won't be ready and just out of a new injury with no game shape at all, of course he would be better than any other person they will play but its a risk that is unnecessary if you ask me. Can they do it? Sure. Should they do it? I don't think so. Klay should relax until next season and come back fresh and get his speed up slowly at the start of the season and get better until the end of the season to make a difference in playoffs.

Thanks to modern medicine as Klay said, he can back probably after the All-Star break. That is mid-February so I will assume he will be doing fullcourt drills at early to mid-January. There is a high chance he can play at the playoffs. No need to worries about the possibility of lack of performance as what he just needs to do is to shoot that damn ball. No need to force being an athletic on that part*.

Move on. "Chances" is still "chances" even Klay was there.

Klay knows what do more than us here. Remember that Klay's main forte' is outside shooting, catch+fake+shoot. As I said above, no need to be pure athletic on that part* if he can't really be like that again once he came back.

Actually their play-off journey is some sort mixed with bad luck.Why? Injuries do happen on most crucial moments on that season but i cant questioned Raptors skills/ability even if GSW is on their top condition they can give out some hard fight.

He needs to be careful so he will not be injured again, he is more effected in shooting the ball outside as he is very consistent.
Curry and Thompson both have won the 3 point shooting, so this proves they are really good shooters, I know Thompson just trying to show and prove that he is also good with his defense and driving the ball inside, but he is not that athletic and an athlete will be prone to injury if he drives inside, like Derrick Rose style.

As for me, I'll be happy if he can shoot at least 5 3s per game, is that too much to ask?

Is there any news yet whether or not Melo is getting signed? The window is closing fast with just over a month before the 2019-2020 season kicks off. I was expecting him to be signed by the Nets but I haven't read anything that suggests they'll sign him.

Just one of the many veterans saying Melo should be signed. He does have something to offer and I think various teams are interested on really signing him. Maybe it is the kind contract that both parties could not agree with. If Melo could agree to a minimum, I bet teams would rush to get him.

We so concern about him but he was so selfish during the time when he was still in demand in the NBA.
I've seen a video that he was the reason why Jeremy Lin did not continue his Linsanity, now the is facing a bad Karma as no team will sign him anymore.

At least Lin had his won a championship and now playing in a team outside the NBA where he is receiving a decent salary.
I think Melo has to move on chasing teams in the NBA, maybe outside NBA there are teams that are waiting for him.

Yes that is way far for a comparison.
Lin had his time and so is Melo which have been really made a lot of contribution for a lot of years. Name it, Denver and Knicks and even in Houston.
While on the other hand, Lin just did it because of the hype. Not too many Asian could make something happen. He made some Asian believe it is possible to dominate the NBA which is also good.

Now, look at how the Olympics end. So many changes already happened.
Oh and another addition, there is a league now which is being played by Asians where NBA players do play. Lance Stephenson is one example.

Melo could still get a deal but I think he should take a non-guaranteed deal, that way he would take the minimum and than if the team doesn't want him they can just waive him and not even pay him because it would be a non-guaranteed deal. Howard took a deal like that in Lakers, its risky for the player but Howard had to show people he still got something to offer, Melo could do the same as well, Lakers could actually be a good place for Melo because he was good friends with Lebron and the team lacks SF but makes up for it by playing other people on SF position.

No team could really hurt by signing him for vet min and play him 10-15 minutes a game, that is literally least they could grab him for, if I was the owner or GM of any team I would snatch him for sure because he is way more talented than minimum but will sign for minimum.
