- Klay Thompson expects a max contract but so far the Warriors haven’t given it to him. Since he’s come back from injury Klay’s attitude is a lot different than before. There could be very bad news for Warrior fans coming soon about Klay.
- กีฬา
What made Klay so great was his elite DPOY level defense. Now he is a defensive liability. He is turning into Kyle Korver
Let’s pump the brakes on “DPOY level defense.” He was good, not all time lol
Jesus loves you and may God bless you..
dpoy level? man get the fuck outta here with that bullshit
Dpoy level 💀 you have to be a warriors fan
*Kyle Korner with one of the biggest ego in the league* I may add
Take the pay cut Klay. They already took care of you when you were injured. That’s the great point of this video.
And now he's not injured, led the league in 3s this past season, and has gotten gradually better since returning in January 2022 so he's proven he deserves the money. The Warriors giving Klay the supermax in 2019 wasn't them taking care of him, it was them keeping one of their core superstars, and the 2022 championship shows it paid off
@@FunWithMemesFunWithMemes sorry he’s just not worth it, and everyone knows that. He’s still a very good player. I don’t think people can blame him for their loss, but he wasn’t a factor. I’m also not in favor of paying James Harden exorbitant salaries. His day is also sunsetting, though faster.
@@joefilter2923 harden's a lazy piece of shit, doesn't deserve that money.
And curry took a paycut while klay and dray got paid
Didn't Kobe also counted his 5 rings to a random fan? So it's insecure if Klay does it but if it's Kobe then he's a super alpha competitor.
It's useless they love Kobe's meat
Regardless it's classless. I'm glad apologized and said he holds himself to a higher standard!
The fan was talking even tho he wasn’t even on the floor… Booker is a superstar. Different context
Kobe was actually good that’s the difference
Most men are super fragile. Even succesful ones.
Look at Michael Jordan , LeBron , Bill Gates , Elon Musk.
Insecurity despite billions ! 😆
Wether he does or doesn’t want a max deal…. He has proven to be humble more than 9/10 of his career…. Let the man return the trash talk…. He has earn at least that. Hope he does what’s best for him and not what people want him too do. I would pay him personally if I had the money…. Some players deserve that and I truly believe he’s one of them.
It's a job, not a charity. You get paid what you perform.
"I would pay him personally if I had the money .... " The guy is already MASSIVELY RICH. Klay is not living off food stamps and a welfare check. 😂
Fans are funny as hell.....
@@randygram9310 the vid already pointed itout. dude got paid 68 mil for zero games for 2 seasons
@@marxconrad5278 And Klay led the league in 3s and had a better season in 2023 than he did in 2022. So when he has an even better season in 2024, he'll easily get the contract he deserves. I love how you say "You get paid what you perform" as if that argument doesn't go in Klay's favor
@@FunWithMemesFunWithMemesplayoffs matter more, and he was not great overall
Love Klay. Hope warriors can put a deal together to keep him a Warrior. He’s by far my favorite player in the nba
he's done though, not hating or anything. his injury did him dirty, he couldn't recover like durant.
you need to find a new favorite player lol
To be fair without Steph, Klay and Draymond the team would currently be worth 3 billion, not 7 billion. He deserves the contract, but that doesn’t mean he will get it
He doesn't deserve ANYTHING. He got paid for playing the games he played... he's made his MILLIONS.
Steph is the only factor. Klay and Green haven’t mattered for a long time (including the last chip)
@@AlexisMunoz82 he absolutely deserves it. Doesn’t mean he will get it, but he deserves it more than the owner
He got paid while injured, he doesn't deserve anything at this point. He has a lot to prove cause he has looked like a shell of himself
@@AlexisMunoz82yeah. He doesn’t deserve it anymore if he’s not putting up the numbers and making an impact
either he takes the pay-cut or he's out. that's just it.
Klay to the Sacramento kings
ya'll talking crazy...ya'll do realize he averaged the same as before his injuries and led the league in 3's made. you sound like you don't know anything about the game...lol
@@darrellwilliams1991 you are what we call a box score enthusiast.... if u actually watched the games and especially the playoffs you'd know klay doesn't deserve a max anymore, we need the space to get other good role players
@@darrellwilliams1991lol how about the defensive side...Dude was terrible more than curry...
@@mrboast2826 you're not serious, right? The man just came off...two potentially career-ending injuries and didn't do any kind of off-season work in those two years and you think it would take him time to be 100% again? You sound dumb. And even with all that being said and his late slump he still led the league in 3's made and had the 3rd best scoring season of his career...lol...just say you don't know what you are talking about and leave it alone genius
That booker 4 rings taunt is iconic
Klay even admitted he was getting bitched by Book and was feeling insecure lol
@@jaceygaither2581 while book is getting bitched by 3 europeans lol
I think Klay saw how easily Draymond bullied management to give him a max and wants to try it but the only diference is Dray hasn't missed significant time due to injury over the past three seasons
Draymond did not get the max but he got good money...
also draymond is more important for the warriors system than Klay. Klay is just a glorified 3 and D player.
@@chief8268 you're forgetting game 6 klay brought them to the finals twice, they are all equally important to the warrior system.
@@kevdadragonslxyer5300 I think he’s streaky. So there are a handful of games where he makes a lot of shots very efficiently.
@@chief8268there is not many players who can play in a system averaging 20 points without being ball dominant while moving around waiting to score at the right time in a heavy ball movement offense
At least the Warriors office is considering bringing Klay back on a manageable contract. We know some teams would look at the decline and just say that they're not paying big money at an aging player, I mean just look at the 76ers and James Harden.
76ers ARE paying Harden. He opted in on his contract. No one was going to pay the guy more than the 76ers are already.
Warriors would be smart to keep him if he isn't delusional on his contract.
The Warriors' decision to extend Klay paid off in 2022 when they won #4. The 76ers traded for Harden and they still couldn't make it past the 2nd round
Harden himself is putting rakes in front of his feet.
Klay didn't play?
Uh oh, now Klays gonna flex his 4 rings 💍
He has every room to do it, why do you have a problem!?

Klay should be pissed about that list. Saying Klay in 2016 wasn’t a top 50 player is straight up delusional. He was the best SG in the league from 2015-2018

I wasn’t expecting this video to be so good. It’s one of the best I’ve seen from AM hoops
"Maybe the MAX from 1991"
fucking died right there
This is why I think the Warriors dynasty is over -- Steph is incredible at his age but all their key players have mileage on them. And Klay had 2 major injuries as well and just getting older. He was good last season -- not great. A max is simply crazy; if he wants to compete for another title, a paycut to help the Warriors add another decent 'big' would be smart.
Agree…Klay was absent when Steph really needed him for two straight playoffs. I would not give him a max…close but no max
It ain’t over lol aslong as the core or they put the role players around Steph remain they will always be a contender. How many times we got to here the dynasty over? And then y’all get proven wrong lmao same shit happened in 2022. Don’t count them out unless they lose steph klay or dray. Steph ain’t declining anytime soon either he’s still playing at mvp level
@@user-tj5ln9sm6qhad the warriors faced the bucks in the finals they would have been stomped. But that’s hindsight. They were destroyed by the lakers. Steph is turning 35 years old. Klay and Draymond have regressed. They don’t have an elite big. Can’t see them making out of the west anymore
@@ry_an. man y’all better stop sayin Steph getting old he Still playing at mvp level do yous even watch ball or you jus be talking?
@@user-tj5ln9sm6q never said steph doesn’t play well. You’re a delusional warriors fan. Notice how you didn’t say anything about last season. But steph is 35. He will be more injury prone. He will have to do more heavy lifting as Klay and Draymond regress.
return of AM HOOPS YESSIR !!!! Thanks for the update love how you sieve out all the crap and give us straight facts and insights on how things really go
Yeah your very right . Dudes been well taken care of. Respect to the Warriors for his first max after his injury. A lot of teams probably wouldn't have done that.
Doesn't matter what other teams would've done, that's why they lack the success the Warriors have
Not true Spurs proved this wrong..
love these vids
Honestly and I’ve always liked Klay as a player and person but he’s a 6th-7th man now on a good team I feel for him but it is what it is
Mom:Are u hungry,babe?
Klay:I got 4 rings
Wow, this was a great video, facts facts facts infos infos, one of the best realistic videos ever 👌🏼 great work
This is hilarious, i just did an assignment for economics at school and i used this article, specifically writing about Klay, for it!
Does Klay know there are Hall of Famers left out from that 75 list? lol
You act like Klay isn't a future Hall of Famer in his own right
klay is one of the most likely active players to make the hall bruh💀 go look it up
Most likely, behind all of the obvious.. lol
@@FunWithMemesFunWithMemes of course he is. I'm just saying that there are people way above Klay that haven't even been included in the list.
@@8ight920 as I mentioned to Fun with Memes, there are people that surpass Klay that are not even on the list. One of which is Hall of Famer Alex English with 1 scoring title, 8x All star and 3x All NBA under his belt. Or another Hall of Famer Joe Dumars with 6x All Star 3x All NBA 5x All Defensive Team and one time Finals MVP under his belt. Shoot I don't even have to list TMac's accolades. No disrespect to Klay because I actually like him as a player, but I am just being real here.
Great point regarding, "they already took care of you." 💯
I’m fucking with this video consistently lately, putting in work Mr hoops 🔥💪
I just want to say I appreciate A.M hoops for the way he does things. I was prepared to not like what was said In this video being a warriors fan and alway a Klay fan. But it was made perfectly. And I subscribed and will continue enjoying A.M hoops on all the basketball knowledge. Thank you.
Great perspective! : )
Let's see what he has to offer this season. Everyone has their ups and downs
Klay is definitely underrated, but he is also overpaid. He brings value, but he's not what KD brought to the Warriors
KD is important to the dynasty because of his scoring, but he was part of only 2 of the championships runs
but of those two he won fmvps... so hes pretty important.@@FunWithMemesFunWithMemes
4 or 5 all stars, 2 rings but yea this man here..lol
imagine thinking the second best player on the team is overpaid
@@darrellwilliams1991 second best? Lol not since 2015... Numbers dont lie.
Klay will say he expects a max and then resign for ~20 million because that's what the market value is for him at most. Dray was saying the same stuff last year and settled this year very quickly
bruh u think dray is worth more than klay? smoking crack
I think they are worth about the same cause neither is as good as they used to be but you also have to take care of your legends@@8ight920
Kobe showing 5 rings: “Savage”
Klay showing 4 rings: “Insecure”
context matters. Two same things coukd have different meaning deoending on the context and intention.
Patrick McCaw showing 3 rings: “am I a joke to you?”
@@august6281Klay even said on PG’s podcast even tho he has 4 rings he didnt carried a franchise like PG
these fanboys is blind af Klay aint that man anymore
Klay said IN THIS VIDEO he was being insecure.
Nah I'm pretty sure everyone was on Klays side when he first put up the 4 rings. Til he did it more. And he only does it when his team is losing or getting cooked.
The playoff series against the Lakers kinda exposed Klay as being a spot up shooter, he can't create a shot and if the system isn't getting him open looks he was bricking a bunch of threes and he's not what he used to be on defense
Accurate and fair. Klay is a streaky shooter - when he's on, he's a Splash Brother..when he misses, it can get in his head and he'll get hasty/ sloppy with his shot..
Great objective video, per usual
It'd be wild if Chris finally had a full healthy playoff run, a healthy Wiggins would benefit the most from healthy Chris's play making.
All the points that I would have made, are included, including the excellent reminder about Draymond Green. Roll the tape:
(1) The note about analytics, where you can spin them to say whatever you want. Like I have long said about analytics: "If you need analytics to do your job as a GM, then you are probably in the wrong line of work". Clay was like Scottie Pippen with Jordan. Without him, they do not tally all these championships. End of story. How frustrating if you were a fan of an opposing team come playoff time, and this guy, along with Curry, are shooting the way they did. That surreal Clay record-breaking one quarter performance (though not in playoffs) shows what he was capable of.
(2) Related to the above, in fact, not sure how you put a price tag on 4 championships, where he was an integral part in all. Also, if Clay does not go down against the Raptors, even with KD already out, VERY GOOD chance...pretty likely...in fact almost certain, the Warriors win the title there as well. Warriors led 83-80 late in the 3rd with with Clay heading to line for 2 shots when the injury occurred. I don't like the Raptors chances in that game or next with a healthy Clay and Steph.
(3) Yes, it is obvious that Clay is not the same player as before (but remember, the guy came back from 2 serious, and potentially career ending injuries. Name the 2 worst injuries to suffer and torn ACL and torn Achilles heel would top most people's list). Now, also obvious is Clay trying to posture for that max contract, looking to get paid for his body of work and the player / force he used to be. (In a different time - actually a few years back - before the new CBA and all kick in, the Warriors could probably afford to give him that as a thank you for all he has done.)
(3a) As @John so succinctly points out below in the comments: "To be fair without Steph, Klay and Draymond the team would currently be worth 3 billion, not 7 billion. He deserves the contract, but that doesn’t mean he will get it." (That is something certainly not lost on Warriors management, who have taken care of their star players, and others - refer to Jordan Poole's max contract.)
(4) Nice to see that point and reminder on (and maybe for) Draymond Green, that he was not given a max contract for the simple reason that ... he is not worth a max contract. In the mind of several NBA players, the bar seems to have been lowered, where if this was the case, role players would join star, elite players on the max contract podium. Refer to a video from Casey a while back, complete with the facial expression when making his point, about (I believe) current Lakers player Pope thinking he was worth a max contract when with (I believe) the Pistons. "Seriously" Casey noted. Pope would in time adjust his game and his expectations, making him a valuable asset, though not of max contract value.
Klay "Live in the Present" Thompson. Lol, good video. Sub ed
I like how you broke this down, your pretty good sir!
Everybody said Draymond would walk in free agency but all that turned out to be bs, i think same will happen again
Klay is my favorite one that's why I watch nba. Long ago I watch NBA because of MJ. NOW ITS KLAYand the warriors!!
Better hang on to Klay...he's coming into his better years.
Man Klay Steph and Draymond need a piece of the franchise
It’s outrages how Klay Thompson gets paid 40 Million.
Klay is a DUB for life!💯💯
If Klay Thompson Talent to the Eastern Conference Teams!
Nah klay really got taken care of . Getting signed after tearing ya shit is lowkey crazy. That’s some kd shit .
Very very underrated
Klay will always have a place on a roster for the rest of his career no matter which team he goes to but unfortunately he has to realise, he is not the same elite player once he was before his injuries😢 he was a great defender but now he seems more slow and not as good at defending anymore and his shots look more flat but he can still be a good player not a max player.
Klay's through... he knows he'll never be the same and that shows in his grumpy attitude when he's struggling. It's the quickness in his lateral movement on defense that he lost with injury that really shows...
💞
lets make this clear. late in the lakers series, wiggin was playing with fractured cartilage in his ribs. you cannot blame the man for a poor performance when you can clearly see that he is struggling with immense pain.
Facts, it was very clear that wiggs was struggling to move up and down the court.
And if you don't know, breathing is very difficult
❤❤❤
So many things are making me sad recently. Klay used to be one of my favorite players in the league, but I agree, he doesn't seem to be a in good spot mentally right now.
Yes I agree
Make one about What’s going on with Kia Jones
the whole first minute and a half is taken out of context its a shame where this channel has gone never thought he would be like this

the issue is that Klay Thompson will get a max somewhere in the NBA.
1:19 yes agree MJ and Kobe were also insecure at some point
7:07 only Giga Chad knows
Would love to edit your videos !
For some reason I think there will be Dray-CP3 drama if things look bad during season
nice vid
Klay never evolved his offensive bag. So now that his defense ain't what it was, when his shot ain't dropping dude is almost unplayable. Dude is 6'7" if he had worked on his post moves, or had something off the dribble, when his shot ain't dropping he would have something to fall back on and force teams to adjust and give the Warriors a new element with work in the post. Dude would be a matchup nightmare with a post game and being a playmaker in the post. Klay with some footwork and post moves would make things sooo much easier on Steph and the Warriors offense.
Its unfair for Klay to be defined just by his struggles in this playoffs. People forgot his stats, his record is hard to be broken by somebody on this league.
Just because a record is hard doesn't mean anything when we're talking about current Klay. And it's fair to talk about struggles in the playoffs cause that's what teams compete for.
@@BlazeBallin23 and no one is saying not pay him; just not worth a max contract
@@joefilter2923 yea he isn't worth a max like he thinks he deserves. He gotta take a pay cut.
Ajajjjja how much was the max for 1991???
I guess some people just don't feel economic recessions or downturns, huh?
dude still has one of the best strokes EVER. and let's face it, it can take YEARS To return to top level. still young 30's. I think he can have a good 2-3 span still if he's taking this offseason seriously enough. he can be elite.
If 10+ years in the NBA you still need a big salary and "the bag" you seriously messed up your financial planning. Big respect to the Junior Bridgemans out there, got less than 5million in a career but now has a net worth of 500+ million. That's how it's done.
I miss the old klay
straght from the go klay
You're the goat dude.
Y’all forget Klays greatness. He will continue to be a scoring machine with average defense.
Jaylen Brown your next video A.M. Hoops 😤😤😤
klay.. please.. this guy got paid SOOOOOOOOOOOOO much just for rehab.. he should be fucking thankfull and happy with whatever the warriors offer him as long as it is not the veteran minimum..
the thing with Klay is that he is a competitor. to say things aren't looking good for him is it bit much, but I'd say things could be better.
That’s crazy but ☝️✌️👌🖖
The warriors are gonna pay him either way it mainly because of how he is viewed on the warriors
Calling Shaq insecure for throwing his rings into Barkley every time he's losing any argument, lol!!
class vid
Das Video ist der Beweis dafür daß sehr viele Menschen keine Ahnung von Basketball oder Sport haben.... im Sport ist nichts Durchschnitt man hat Mal gute und mal schlechte tage... an den Tagen wo man über dem Durchschnitt spielt hatte man einen guten Tag und der Gegner einen schlechten
Klay was never a Lockdown he was just a willing defender on a team that was great defensively he's fine tho yall tripping Klay is right where we need him to be ready for a run
Klay can get the max but he has to play well this season.
That would destroy their team for years. He's not even close to a max player.
@@kareemwillis2033 Yes he is when healthy
I honestly feel like they could’ve still had the same if not better success without klay. Klays done good but someone would’ve stepped up and got a shot they deserved for less money with more mamba mentality knowing you’re starting with Curry
Naa, there's not alot of people who could shoot like Klay and at the same time defend like him.
He was the perfect 2 way player with Steph.
There no one who has the same jump and shoot ability Klay has in NBA history.
So no one can play Klay's role. Don't underrate and disrespect him because of last season
People forget how good Klay was before his injury. He probably was the best two way shooting guard in the league.
People talk like Klay was a defensive threat.. 😆
@@damonselmon2307
He was a positive on defense and with the help of Draymond and Iguadala they help covered for Steph being a defensive liability.
If you put someone in someone was good on only offense to replace Klay. It won't work because Klay sometimes defended against the best players from the other team. Go and check especially the first round of the 2016 playoff when Steph was hurt. You would see how important Klay Thompson was.
I would love to see the Warriors miss the playoffs because of Klay.
Klay gonna be a warrior for life I can’t see him leaving curry and the dynasty they too good of a contender for him to leave for sole none contender for just money that’s dumb but reasonable but at the same time you are wasting your potential playing on a rebuilding team. You could get more playing time or shots up or what ever but it means more pressure and more drama to come. And it takes time to adapt to an new environment. And coexist with teams to learn the Kay’s and communicate better.
So Klay came back off 2 major injuries and people think his defense was go be the same or greater. Klay will come back healthier than last year and he definitely deserves his extension. Go watch some of his interviews he did this summer. He hungry and I believe the warriors will win a 5th ring
He deserves a max and if he doesn't get it he should go somewhere else and build a new path.
One big question is - who they going to get in a trade for Chris Paul next offseason.
Final year of his awful contract, partially or not even guaranteed at all.
Warriors so far above the cap that letting him go for nothing won’t be an option…
I remember during their championship run I was always saying that Klay Thompson was a very consistent shooter
But nowadays, nope
I love klay but if he wants a max, it’s time to let him walk.. warriors need to develop and give minutes to some guys like kuminga and moody
They can do both
2nd and 3rd options will allways be evaluated differently by the critics looking at the analytics. Warriors have 4 champioships, all 4 with Klay playing...
Pretty sure klay is going to take a reasonable contract.
Klay will find his form this season
people said this last year and he was average
And they were right, Klay was better in 2023 than he was in 2022 and he will be even better in 2024. Y'all love to act like ACL and Achilles injuries don't take time to heal from, and Klay's gradual improvement since coming back in January 2022 shows that@@t3ne
In my 2k franchise Klay gets traded to Denver for Aaron Gordon but then again the Poole trade didnt happen in my NBA-world
hell nah klay is still elite give him a break he just came back from 2 major injurys
I just want wiggins to be present this season. Along, Chris Paul we should have a fair shot at another ring.
Damn ppl really aren’t shit,they didn’t win until he came back.🤦🏽♂️
2:19😮😮😮
Nice.
trading cp3 for poole was actually an investment in the future. the poole contract is much longer and would hurt them so much more than cp3.
since cp3 will be injured in the playoffs, this isnt a win now move, its a get out of jail card for the future
Dumping Poole salary was smart, but who's gonna help Curry in the playoffs? The roster is cheeks
