However, Green is now claiming that the injury ensured he’d stay with the team.Photo by Lachlan Cunningham/Getty ImagesDraymond Green thinks Klay Thompson would have left Warriors in search of first-option minutesSpeaking on his podcast, Draymond Green explained why he believes Klay Thompson was going to leave the Golden State Warriors in 2019 before his Achilles injury.He also dismissed the idea that Thompson couldn’t be a number one option on a team, comparing him to Reggie Miller, who was the leader of the Indiana Pacers during their time as contenders in the late 1990s and early 2000s.“Everyone tends to try to make Klay the guy Klay was after the injury. I won’t go for that. What I will say is – highly likely that after the 2019 playoffs, Klay Thompson was going to leave the Golden State Warriors and go be a number one option somewhere else. Highly f—— likely. But then he got hurt.“So instead, the one thing I can assure you – there was a 90% chance my brother was going to leave Golden State and go elsewhere and test that number one option thing out. Unfortunately, it wasn’t in the cards for him; he got hurt, and he never got the opportunity to.“Now, in turn, everyone wants to talk like, ‘Oh, you couldn’t do it like he wasn’t going to.’ But I study the history. I do the research…“The Klay Thompson from 2017-2019, he was capable. He just never got the opportunity due to contractual obligations.“And once he fulfilled his contractual obligation, he then faced an ACL and an Achilles in back-to-back years and missed two-and-a-half years of basketball.“The funny part about saying Klay couldn’t be a number one option is this: Reggie Miller was a number one option. Reggie was a very extremely successful basketball player. He was a number 1 option.“You mean to tell me that if Klay Thompson left the Warriors, he couldn’t be a number one option, but Reggie Miller could? It’s blasphemous!”Thompson’s injury came at the worst time possible, as this was the same year that Thompson didn’t make an All-NBA team, thus limiting the max contract he could sign.Despite his injury, the Warriors rewarded his years of hard work and contribution to championship success and signed him to a five-year, $190 million contract.Read more:Klay Thompson’s Miami Heat jersey reveal has fans talking about ‘Celtics Shaq’ syndrome‘Are you kidding me?’ Klay Thompson addresses Ray Allen comparisons after signing with Miami HeatBrian Windhorst breaks down why Klay Thompson ‘gav
