Chasing Dreams: I didn’t keep Klay when he said he was leaving the team because I knew he needed to make changes.

Today, Warriors star Dream Green recalled the scene when Clay left the team on the "Boardroom" podcast.

Chasing Dreams said: "I know how painful it was for him at the time. In the season before he left the team, he was not Klay. He did not feel the same happiness as before. To take a step back, watching your brother struggle with his own situation was too uncomfortable for me."

"I was in the car with my wife and children at the time, and he told me that he was leaving the team. I asked him where he was going, and he said Texas; I asked him which team? To Houston? He said it was going to Dallas; I told him it's not like you, it's not near the ocean, and everyone knows how much he likes to be on the ocean, and he said to me, 'I need something different, I've been in California most of my life, so I think Dallas is a good place. choice, I still have a chance to win the championship there. They had Doncic and Irving, and I felt like it was a good fit for me to go there. ’”

“Most people would try to keep him in this situation, saying things like, ‘We still have a chance to compete for the championship.’ But I think his choice is great, and I’m happy for him, because I know how much he needs to make changes. In my opinion, this is better than the idea of 'I want to stay with the Warriors and stay with you brothers until I retire', because you have to look at your situation and what you have experienced in the past. If this choice is right for you, then I can accept your choice. The reality is that he needs to make changes, he needs to find himself again and become Klay Thompson. "
