Klay Thompson has had quite the offseason so far.

He went from being a key player on the Golden State Warriors to being an asset involved in a significant potential trade for Kevin Love.

Many Golden State Warriors players have been in the news this offseason, including Stephen Curry, Klay Thompson, David Lee, Harrison Barnes, Andre Iguodala, and even new additions to the roster such as Shaun Livingston and Brandon Rush.

One Warrior who hasn’t been talked about much is Draymond Green. Although he’s not the face of the franchise, Green might have solidified himself as the heartbeat of this Warriors team last season. He could certainly improve his game in a few areas, but his passion, determination, fierce competitiveness, and positive attitude are the reasons why he’s so important to this Warriors team.

Bruce Bochy announced yesterday that the San Francisco Giants will skip Tim Lincecum’s next scheduled start, and they will start Yusmeiro Petit instead. It’s unclear if this change will last longer than just one game, but as of now, Lincecum has been moved to the bullpen.

Before today’s Giants game, Lincecum spoke to the media about his thoughts on this change, what has gone wrong for him recently, and why he’s had success out of the bullpen in the past.
