Following Klay Thompson's departure from the Golden State Warriors to join the Dallas Mavericks in NBA free agency, emotions have been running high among Dub Nation and the players. Adding to the heartbreak, Draymond Green shared on his podcast that his son DJ was devastated by Thompson's exit as well. DJ, a fan of Thompson's postgame paper airplane antics, had crafted an airplane with cutouts of Green, Steph Curry, Klay, and a new player he drew, thinking it was himself. Green had to break the news to his son that Klay would be leaving for Dallas with Luka Dončić, prompting a dismayed reaction from DJ. While the news brought tears to DJ's eyes, there was a silver lining as the Warriors now have a new player to carry on Thompson's paper airplane tradition.
