If We take Vonleh at #6, could Sully, the 17th, and philly's or clips 2015 get Klay Thompson?

Call me a homer , but I like Sully just as much as Thompson as far as upside goes . Sully is a bad ass tough guy , Thompson seems really soft from what I have seen .

Thompson only averages 2 Free throws a game in his career . Compared Kevin Martin who averages 6 per game for his career, it seems silly to think they are upgrading their team in any way .

People have started to overrate Thompson like Crazy . He is a nice 3rd or 4th scorer on a contender . Pretty much another Jeff Green, maybe a little better .

Golden State's not rebuilding and have a good PF already.  Only way they could possibly be interested in that stuff is if it was part of a 3-way deal that brought them a top player (like Love).

GSW will not trade Thompson for the sake of trading Thompson.  They don't need to, nor do they want to trade Thompson, and he doesn't want to trade Thompson. 

The only reason they would move a kid of that talent, would be because that what they have to give up to get back a more talented, potentially transcendent player ala Kevin Love. 

So to recap, hes not on the block, and we have no potentially transcendent, potentially franchise altering asset that would warrant such a return.
