As the clock ticks down to the 2024 NBA trade deadline on February 8, tension looms over the Golden State Warriors fanbase.

Following their 127-104 road victory against the Philadelphia 76ers, the team seemed to ease the nerves by celebrating Klay Thompson‘s 34th birthday on their flight back home. 

With Draymond Green as the conductor of the choir, the Warriors youngsters even sang a heartfelt birthday song for the shooting guard on his 34th birthday. Touched by the gesture, Thompson shared the clip on his Instagram Stories. Alongside the clip, Thompson wrote, “Conducter Dray and a rookie Choir. Terrible singers but I still love em @iab_podz @trayce.jackson”

While the Warriors are struggling to win games on a consistent basis, the front office has not yet taken any major decisions. Head Coach Steve Kerr has immense faith in the current roster’s potential.

Klay Thompson isn’t worried about the trade deadline

While there hasn’t been any confirmed news on Thompson or Green’s immediate future, there has been much debate about Klay’s potential trade. This was after senior The Athletic insider Shams Charania highlighted the problems the Warriors are currently facing and everyone except Stephen Curry was on the market. Despite the win on Wednesday, the Warriors are placed 11th in the Western Conference, outside of the Play-In spots.

Despite the rumors, Thompson seems to be confident about himself. Regardless of the trade talk, he seems to be focused on his game. When asked about the deadline, He shared, “I don’t partake in NBA discourse. I think that’s a waste of energy.”

Despite the uncertainty, another player acknowledged the minimal chatter surrounding the matter.
