The hosts of “Dubs Talk,” Monte Poole and Kerith Burke, talk about how Klay Thompson’s new position with the Warriors impacts both him and the team as a whole.
Klay Thompson believes that his storied NBA career will conclude sooner rather than later and that there is light at the end of the tunnel.
Weeks after taking on a Sixth Man position with the Warriors, the guard said in an interview with Sam Amick of The Athletic that he plans to finish his playing career a few days before making his 40th circumnavigation while he waits for a possible contract extension with Golden State.

Additionally, Thompson continued his scorching run in Tuesday’s victory over the Washington Wizards, tallying 25 points in just 25 minutes off the bench.
Although Thompson is nearing the end of his playing career rather than draft day, he still has a ways to go.
