Klay Thompson Denies Rumor He's Unhappy Playing with Steph Curry, Kevin Durant

Golden State Warriors shooting guard Klay Thompson denied speculation he's disappointed with his offensive usage while playing alongside Stephen Curry and Kevin Durant.

"That's not true," Thompson told Mark Medina of the Bay Area News Group. "Have I ever indicated I was unhappy?"

ESPN commentator Stephen A. Smith brought up the topic on Tuesday's edition of First Take, though he admitted he hadn't talked directly with the Dubs star about the situation.

"I'm told Klay Thompson—I have not spoken to Klay Thompson, in fairness to Klay Thompson, so let me be clear about that. I'm told Klay Thompson isn't happy," he said. "His number hasn't been called nearly enough. He's tired of sitting around and getting quote-unquote, this is a quote, 'the crumbs' left behind by other people."

The third-wheel argument doesn't hold a ton of weight from a statistical standpoint since Thompson (18.0 shots per game) averaged more attempts from the field than Durant (17.7) during the regular season.

In addition, Durant's 2016 arrival has played a key role in the Warriors' last two NBA championships, giving Thompson three titles in seven NBA seasons.

"If you don't like winning, I don't know what's wrong with you," the five-time All-Star told Medina after Golden State's Game 5 win over the Houston Rockets on Wednesday night.

Meanwhile, Nick Friedell of ESPN.com reported the Warriors "aren't sweating" Thompson's impending free agency since he's consistently stated his desire to remain with the organization.

Golden State could be forced to make some tough decisions during the summer, though. Durant also owns a player option in his contract and has been heavily linked to the New York Knicks, while DeMarcus Cousins is also set to become an unrestricted free agent.

That said, Thompson and Curry—the Splash Brothers—have been the cornerstones for the Warriors' success since before Durant arrived and could still form a successful foundation if he leaves.

Curry's longtime backcourt mate could generate massive interest on the open market if he does seriously consider alternatives in the offseason, though.
