Warriors’ Kerr: No Klay Thompson trade

Yet again, the two-time All-Star guard’s name surfaced in the NBA trade rumor mill — this time courtesy of former Warriors’ assistant coach Brian Scalabrine — but the talk was quickly shot down, if not outright mocked, by Golden State head coach Steve Kerr. Speaking on Sirius XM NBA Radio, Scalabrine — a former player and now a Boston Celtics analyst — said on Monday he’d heard over the weekend that the Warriors, in a possible search for a big man, would be willing to part with Thompson. Thompson got off to a slow start this season — making only 19.6 percent of his three-pointers and scoring more than 18 points only once in his first six games. [...] he has warmed up of late (14-of-26 on threes in his last four games) and on Sunday night scored a season-high 30 points against the Suns. The trade, of course, didn’t happen and Thompson went on to win a championship with the Warriors that season — and then Love did the same thing with the Cavs last summer, coming from 3-1 down to beat Golden State in an NBA Finals rematch. In March 2014, then-Warriors coach Mark Jackson reassigned Scalabrine, a coach of his staff, to the team’s NBA Development League affiliate in Santa Cruz because of what Jackson called a “difference in philosophies.”
