The Golden State Warriors have denied a rumor that they could have interest in trading Klay Thompson. 

Brian Scalabrine reported a trade scenario involving the Boston Celtics where Thompson would be traded for Avery Bradley, Jae Crowder and the 2017 first round pick of the Brooklyn Nets. The Warriors would then try to turn the Brooklyn pick into Nerlens Noel.

Thompson struggled with his shot to begin the 16-17 season but has been playing much better of late.

There reportedly have been no talks between the Warriors and Celtics, though the two front offices are known to be relatively close.

Scalabrine was an assistant coach for the Warriors during the 13-14 season.

Steve Kerr responded publicly to the trade rumors when asked by the media.

“Brian hasn’t called me yet,” said Kerr with more that a little sarcasm. “If Brian wants to call, I’ll get (general manager) Bob (Myers) on the phone and Bob and I can pick his brain and figure out what we should do.

“Honestly, I didn’t know about it until just now. I think our guys know that most of that stuff is almost always just BS. If that became a story, I would probably talk to Klay. But I didn’t know it was a story until just now. I’ll go home, get on the Internet and decide whether to call Klay or not. There’s a lot of fake news.”
