The Golden State Warriors have likely missed out on Paul George after he declined his player option on Saturday. Now, it looks like their pursuit of George has pushed franchise legend Klay Thompson away from the only team hes played for.
The Athletics Shams Charania and Anthony Slater reported on Saturday afternoon that the Warriors are preparing to lose Thompson in free agency, saying the two player and team have had close to no communication in the past two weeks. The Athletics duo also identified the Dallas Mavericks, Los Angeles Clippers and Los Angeles Lakers as teams expected to be among strong suitors for Thompson.

Sounds like strikeout on Paul George, two strikes on Klay, and everything else up in the air.
What's Likely? Sign and trade?
Mavs?
Clippers?
Lakers?
Orlando?
Keep an eye on Chris Paul. Keep an eye on Wiggins.
Must be some negotiating going on.
