Bob Myers attempted to remove any doubt about the future of Klay Thompson with the Golden State Warriors.

“We’re not trading Klay,” Myers said. “That’s the short answer.”

The Thompson trade rumor began with Brian Scalabrine reading speculation during a radio appearance that made it sound as if he had inside information.

“I know Scalabrine, I know him. I represented him. Just call me,” Myers said on 95.7. “Call me and say, ‘Hey man. I saw this. I’m gonna go on the radio. Is it true?’ And then it’s over.”

Even though Scalabrine backed away from his statements, Myers still had to do damage control.

“I wish there was a little bit more discipline because you know what it causes: I gotta talk to Klay Thompson,” Myers said. “I gotta talk to his agent. And I get it, it’s part of the job. And there are times where rumors have weight to them and meaning, but I think it requires a little bit more diligence than just throwing stuff out there.”

“I told Klay,” Myers continued. “I called him and I said, ‘Klay doesn’t listen to anything.’ He doesn’t even know who we play most of the time, he’s not a guy that’s reading everything. He hadn’t even seen it. Then I talked to his agent. the media is very, very powerful. And we’re in a very public business.”
