Report: Warriors won't trade Klay, Draymond before deadline

A pair of veteran Golden State Warriors look to be sticking around.

The team has no interest in trading forward Draymond Green or guard Klay Thompson before the Feb. 8 deadline, according to ESPN's Brian Windhorst.

The Warriors have struggled over the first half of the season, going 20-24 - good for 12th in the Western Conference.

Thompson is averaging 17.6 points this campaign, his lowest mark since his second season in the NBA, while adding 3.4 rebounds and 2.4 assists. Green is averaging 9.3 points, 6.1 assists, and six rebounds this campaign.

On top of the team's struggles this season, Green was also suspended for 21 games as a result of separate incidents involving Minnesota Timberwolves center Rudy Gobert and Phoenix Suns center Jusuf Nurkic.

Meanwhile, head coach Steve Kerr has advocated for the franchise to not trade guards Chris Paul and Gary Payton II.

"We're not going to find better players than (Paul and Payton) in a trade," Kerr said Wednesday on 97.5 The Game's "Willard & Dibs" show. "It's exceedingly rare to make a deal where you can upgrade your talent to that level."

A player that Golden State could move is forward Andrew Wiggins. The franchise has included the 28-year-old in player-for-player trade offers, league sources told The Athletic's Anthony Slater.

The Warriors take on the Memphis Grizzlies on Friday.
