Klay is in the wrong here. The org backed him through his injuries, offered him good money, and let him start way longer than he should have been, and let him bully shots from Wiggins and kuminga.
If he feels wronged, he’s wrong
The only reason the Warriors made the play in was because Kerr gave his minutes to BP, Santos , and Quinones. Thompson’s legs are literally disappearing.
If Klay had signed the 2 year 48 they originally offered he’d be all good right right now!
Crazy how grown men count another man pockets. If that man touch free agency, he could make way more than 48 million dollars. It's crazy fans don't realize klay is going through his scottie pippen engery. The warriors gave draymond more money. Can you imagine Chicago picking Rodman over pippen because that what they did
@@Chrispd2005no he couldn’t and both pippen and Rodman were cooked at the end with the bulls
@@Primenumber19bro cooked is far fetched 18 points on 38 percent shooting ain’t cooked maybe a bad year but that’s speaks to his own greatness
Did he try flashing them his rings at the negotiations? That always worked in the press room 😂
🙄 old asf joke
@@AppreciateTheGame2200just like the rings he showed off 😅
@@mikep1379 when’s the last time he’s done that tho? like I said it’s OLD… it’s like you completely missed my point 😂 🤦🏽♂️ this is social media/the internet in a nutshell
Companies don’t show loyalty anymore and that’s all the NBA teams are they are a business and there’s only gonna be one guy there for the rest of his career and that’s gonna be Steph Curry
Mr FoUr RiNgS
When something is over, its over. He had great years, won rings, the organization and the Bay area thank him for his service and thats it. When an athlete becomes washed/diminished, no one is going to give them max money out of the goodness of thier heart or sentimental reasons.its just reality.
It sounds like Orlando or some team is still willing to pay him a big chunk. Klay is the only one who thinks he's a max player.
That's why u take the money in your prime. It's still weird to think of Ewing on the supersonics
Please listen to Tim Legler people, he is a great basketball mind! If Klay wants to leave you let him, he has earned that right. However,the Warriors have also earned the right to do what is best for their franchise, remember this is an organization that paid Klay Thompson for over 2yrs and received nothing back during that period. But here is what Klay Thompson has to realize, he can leave for more years and money but is a year and 5 to 10 million worth what you would be leaving. No coach knows Klay like Steve Kerr, no teammates know and accept his personality like Steph, Dray, Looney, etc. No organization/owners will support Klay like the Warriors…..and even more importantly there is not a team or organization active right now that has the mentality and championship DNA of the Warriors or longevity (4 rings) as do the Warriors! You are not getting that with Orlando, Lakers, Clippers, Denver or any of these other teams I am hearing are interested in throwing a bag at Klay! The grass always looks greener on the other side until you get there and look back and see it was actually greener where I was! So Klay think long and hard and beyond the money before you make a decision…. But whatever you decide, I will respect and you will always be a Warrior in my eyes and one half of the Greatest Backcourt in the history of basketball as well as a member of one of the greatest teams ever assembled in that of the 2017 Golden State Warrior Team! Go Warriors!!!!
You “earn” the right to leave lol You just have it from the day you arrive
@@shawn47240 um….we are talking contractual wise…. This not you working at your job where no contract is involved…..Klay was under contract when he arrived so yeah he had to earn the right to leave by fulfilling the contract genius 😂😂
I think you’re wrong I. The sense that the warriors are done backing klay out of loyalty. He’s been told he’s going to the bench and they can’t justify paying him what he wants.
Grass doesn't have to be greener as long as the money is greater than Draymond Green money. I think Klay gave the warriors his entire leg within 3 years. I think the warriors don't respect klay because of injuries. When they are great its klay to give them that extra push. Curry set the tone. Draymond plays post defense, but klay was the best two-way player in the nba scored without dribbling, meaning he scored within the flow of offense. Mark Jackson was the creator him and Jerry West, not Steve Kerr he the figurehead. Jerry west drafted klay, draymond, and KD via free agency.
@@Chrispd2005 you are talking about the past, when it should be about the present and future. Klay isnt the same player he used to be, everyone watching the NBA knows that. But Klay ego doesnt let him to face that reality and hes acting out because of it.
Used to be a huge Klay fan and am still (mostly)--but the guy has been deep in his feelings for a season + now. He just went 0-10 in an elimination game, and he was awful against the Lakers the year before. It's not really his fault, the injuries have taken their toll. But it is what it is, and he's not worth starter level money or minutes anymore
I think he was lowkey jealous of JP. He wasn’t shooting well that season either
The fact that Klay and PG don’t have deals done it seems like the writing is on the wall…
Nobody wants injury prone 30 year olds who woulda thought…
@@Michael27Romerono, they’re exploring their options
@@kamilmusalat ya they’ve been for months
I think their value is not as high as they think it is.
@@felixhug6503 💯
Klay still wants to start and get paid close to max money. The Warriors won't commit to starting him and don't want to pay him anywhere near max money. Looks like Klay will be on a different team .
His market might not give him any other choice but to return
Aint nobody else paying Klay what he wants either. Tax aprons are no joke now.
Klay averaged 18ppg last season and made 268 3-pointers. That’s a starter’s numbers.
You think thats worth 35mil/yr? And also little defense?
@@mrspiff6955 but is that worth 200m for 5 years?
The 0-10 in a elimination game gone hunt Klay for the rest of his career lol they even mentioning it on these shows now 😭😭😭
He’s fine. Nobody mentions MJ’s 2 for 18 game at home in ECF down 0-2. History will remember Klay as the game 6 Klay.
You’re a clown for believing that. His championship seasons and great performances will eclipse that one game without any fuss.
@@mrspiff6955 y’all must not have been in Instagram or Twitter comment sections lately 🤣🤣🤣 this is actually a thing
AN (not A) elimination… GOING to HAUNT, not GONE *hunt (again it’s HAUNT)… THEY’RE (not THEY) mentioning. You’re a useless remedial elementary school failure. Won’t even counter with basketball points with the likes of a low IQ toddler. Your starting point isn’t even registering.
He’s a 4 time champ lol one elimination game compared to 4 ships lol
Paul certainly is not the missing piece for the 76ers. As long as you have Boston in your conference, it would be difficult for Philly to win.
Klay biggest problem is Klay himself.
Joyner Lucas said it best : pride is the devil
I love Klay Thompson, but MAN! You got paid $66MIL+ to sit at home and rehab. You were paid the years you played prior. This was not an IOU. You had a chance to put up elite numbers in 2023 and your performance in the Playin was atrocious. Three years @ $18MIL/year is more than fair to retire a Warrior and Champion. $320MIL is not too shabby for a career. At $18MIL a year and releasing Chris Paul, the Warriors will have the $12.9MIL mid-level exception which will hopefully bring in a solid role player. Solid team to make a run for another Championship! But money is money, go get your bigger bag even though you have more bags than you can spend in a lifetime. Love ya, Klay! Best wishes wherever you may end up.
The Warriors want to keep him but at a salary discount to match his current value and production. But the splash bro wants to be treated like game 6 Klay who can drop 37 points in 10 mins which only exists in his imagination now.
They paid him $43 Million last year and his feelings are hurt please that's ridiculous clearly he was overpaid he been with the Warriors for entire career winning four championships show some loyalty they gave you a 200 million contract after you tore your ACL then the following year you tore your Achilles play some pickleball basically they paid you over a hundred million dollars to sit out two years I don't want to hear about your feelings being hurt
Klay was pressing last year, trying to get a contract. He will be fine somewhere else.
Also, warriors inexplicably stopped running rheir bread and butter split action. Mainlyto let the young guys work. So, there is no need for Klay to come back
It’s a tricky one. Warriors probably feel they paid Klay to sit while Klay feel he broke his body for this organization.
I’d be a little tense and uncomfortable if the start of every game it’s about klay getting shots but all he does is shoot and pout. Bad body language and offers new guys nothing but silence.
All love for klay man he reposted my music when nobody else would
S/O klay for dat 💯
Cap
@@LouvoTayloryou’re brainless if you believe that. You likely fall for those staged prank videos also. HOPELESS 😮😂
No he didnt. Dont lie boy
The Celtics are a stacked team with 2 superstars an😢d a really deep supporting cast. Klay needs to go where he adds to an already great talent pool.
As a warriors fan…yes please let klay go..it’s time for him to take his talents elsewhere
Man hell naw! Klay still has enough. Plus it’s what Steph wants.
You warriors fans are ungrateful
@@RossDeGrate LMAO
@@RossDeGrate Steph went from "We're a package, you can't trade anyone of us" to "I really want Klay to stay if possible." Steph needs help, not Klank 🤣🤣
as warrior fan Hell NO Keep HIM!!
Situation will findout if Klay really wants to be warriors for life. Well the franchise supported him and he still feels underpaid despite his steeply declined performance.
Like father like son…Klay to the Lakers
if I was Klay I would have left 1 min after their last title.
As a Warriors fan since 1998 ive seen them go from the bottom to the top and back down. I would hate for klay to leave but it is almost like he doesn't care that they gave him a max even though he was injured. I mean you can't bankrupt a franchise that is trying to prepare for the future. 2 years and 48 million is NOT disrespectful.
Yep I get those vibes too..Klay is a brat.
Hurt feelings? Klay clearly isn’t the player he used to be. The 2 major injuries blindsided him.
Klay have to do what westbrook did, coming of the bench take less money and shut the hell up!!
I love Klay but his time with the warriors has come to an end.
no matter what the warriors do they won't be good enough. wiggins contract doesn't leave them a lot of wiggle room sadly
if klay played better he'd have better offers, but he played like $#...and he still wants a good offer
It's business players come and goes while the owner sit back and watch.
Gotta let Klay go. Trade CP3 for a wing. Add in the draft. See if GP2 & Wiggins wanna actually play like player's with something to prove as apposed to champions who got paid & are complacent
I don't like CP3 on this team. He changed the rotation, didn't bring much to the team, always hurt, and I think he damaged their ability to play at a high level.
its what he does...😂
Thank You , i said they should have never brought him in in the 1st place. He is a cursed player.
@@rezsurfer2808 I call him a jinx.
At 34 and coming off a below average season, he wants max money and 4-ish years. Any team that signs up for that, just in that act alone, won’t be a contender. And that’s fine, if the man’s priority is max money, that’s his choice. If he wants to contend, he needs to consider the new CBA and fit in somewhere at a team friendly price. At this point in his career he is a third option and an average defender.
He can go to Detroit if he wants that max contract
Klay is just great. Only time is beating him, just like Curry.
Whether he stays or goes, Klay is an off the bench role player now, not a starter. If he goes to start anywhere else, thats ego he will not win like at GS.
Both skill & money-wise, he's a 6/7th man, NOT a starter on a Championship squad.
And this is right NOW. In 2+ years, he'll barely be a rotation piece
Young Wiggins play poorly and Draymond's constant suspensions made things much tougher on Warriors. If Wiggins had played to close to his potential, Curry and Klay would be better too. The team would have made the playoffs. If Wiggin played to his potential, the Warriors would have went deep into the playoffs. Also, the wasted Warriors draft pick on Wiseman was a big factor.
It’s very easy , GS will offer Him the lowest contract . All up 2 Klay
Nobody wants to admit Klay is cooked. It’s OK when it’s the truth. Everyone is bringing up his numbers which is cool, but if you guys are watching the games he’s def looks cooked and it’s kinda sad to see but it’s the truth. They need to let him go, and klay needs to go do what Ray Allen did for the Heat.
I would love to see to Klay Thompson come to the Houston Rockets! Man! Fred VanFleet, Jalen Green, Klay Thompson, Jabari Smith, and Alperen Sengun. Have Dillon Brooks, Jeff Green, JaSean Tate come off the bench. MANE!!
Listen, it doesn't matter what the Warriors do. Their dynasty is long over. You need to have young and healthy legs to win in today's league. Id just rebuild at this point
Dunleavy talked about klay in the past tense and it’s a business.
I would make it heavily based on performance... like 7M but with another 8M if he stats healthy and returns to form..
Klay get security... GSW get guarantee they aren't paying for poor performance... win win
if they really wanted Klay, why did they wait until now to sign him? Test the market and what what you can, Klay! They did you dirty not seeing you as part of the dynasty.
Being a warriors fan I can’t see klay leaving but I feel like it’s coming…….whatever happens happens tho
It's for Klay to take what the org is offering which obviously is a pay cut.
PG(Forever Injured)13 will only be available for 32 games Max per season. Let him stay in LA. They ain't winning anything, someone always has to loose...
he played over 60 games last season.. does that not factor in at all?
loose...
Someone has to *LOSE (not LOOSE). And if it’s losing at education by instead failing remedial, EARLY English standards- and having the IQ of a house plant… that someone… is YOU.
He's washed, the sooner they move on the better. Doesnt matter if he goes for free, the org has been as loyal as you'll get from any sporting organisation, in this day and age. He's just clogging up a roster spot at this point.
Mavs should try and get him. Will need to trade THJ, Maxi and probably another player for more cap space
Not for what he’s asking best we’d be able to do is a full MLE and that would mean giving up DJJ. Keep in mind bro reject a 3 yr 48 million dollar deal last year so he probably wants somewhere closer to 20 mill a year and a bigger role. No thanks.
dallas defense will be cooked bro
Correction @r.lr.l they offered klay a 2 year 48 million dollar deal and he turned it down. That is 24 million a year!
He takes so many ill advised n bad shots at times. He's also pouts a lot!
Remember when the Warriors would blow teams out from beyond the arc, when Klay would take over games…?
🤔The Belichick rule. A year early rather than a year too late!
Wise
Or what celtics did to Isaiah Thomas he wanted that brinks truck and he got injured ... sure our hearts wanted him to get it but. Danny was rite because he was never the same and would of been bad contract
The Dubs are in tiers to depart with their beloved Klay. He was jilted because of the 100 mil Bay Dray.
In *TEARS 😭 (not TIERS). You jilted your remedial EARLY English teacher. Everyone has jilted someone, or has been jilted. 👀🤨😂
@@MultilinguistGlobalFitBlessed It's a homonym doofus.
Klay's problem today is the new salary cap rules. Implementing the new "apron" system has, by plan, made things very difficult for teams overspending. Namely, the Golden State Warriors. Klay is ignoring the fact that the money CANNOT flow freely anymore. he basically grew up in the league during a time of exorbitant spending on the biggest spending organization for the last decade. And the league won't allow that kind of spending anymore. Spend Spend Spend. Klay is spoiled and his emotions have made him unable to see the facts.
I, like Zach, want to see Klay, Dray and Steph play on the same team into retirement. But, if Klay can't see the forest for the trees, then such is life.
Klay to lakers
Lol with what money?
@@shawn47240 buy them players
Klay Thompson to Orlando magic no sign or trade 💦
We don’t want him he’s a ball hog
Klay is only a spot up shooter at this point of his career and his defense is far from the level it was. They should trade him and get some young pieces back.
We have all these championship contending teams will allstar to superstar guards. Having klay and curry in the floor at the same time nowadays are a detriment to their defense. kuminga should be getting 30+ minutes but instead klay is taking his minutes. Moody is still more of an unknown than kuminga but warriors should at least experiment with his talent before giving up on him.
The problem is that alot of older players are looking at things through the OLD CBA. But, as Marlo said, "You want it to be one way, but it's the OTHER way" - The new CBA locks down salary caps and strips older, LOYAL players from getting that "Kobe Contract" rewarding them for their years with the team. If Klay wants to stay with Golden State, his best model is Miami's UD. If he wants to grab a bag, then there are plenty of teams willing to pay $$$ for 2yrs of an 80% Klay. If he wants another RING?!? Good fkn luck!
I like RC as the moderator good fit
For any contending team, where Klay is right now, he would heave Eto come of the bench as a 6th man....which is what he was doing with GSW. However as a 6th man, 20 million is probably the max deal. I would love to see him at Dallas. He would definitely get a ton of shots, without having to move as much.
Clay is prone to over sensitivity n is a bit weak minded in that way
Klay.. wake up.. You're not who you were even 2 years ago.. GS paid you for 4 years while only getting 2 years of 'productivity'.. Take the hometown discount and sign long-term in GS for 12-15m a year and retire a Warrior.. It aint that hard unless you make it so.. PUT YOUR EGO IN CHECK SIR lol
If Klay returns to Goldenstate they will not make it out of the west.
Play Thompson needs to go to the Lakers. He needs to be with a team that has an offense system as you can tell now the Lakers are going to have a real offensive system and then. Not gonna have a fake Coach who does not know how to coach basketball like Darvin ham
What about the money? Lakers cant afford his asking price
The bucks should sign Klay
Klay is only worth minimum wage at this point!! But watch someone give him 250 million 🙄
I don't know if you're being facetious, and just throwing out that number out there randomly, but there's no way Klay will be able to sniff anything close to a $250 million contract, especially after last season, and all the chatter around how he's fallen off. At best, he'll be able to get around between $80-100 million.
@@KevinCantWait08 Yes, I just threw a really high number out there being sarcastic. Like I said, he is only worth minimum wage the way he is playing
Should of took the money last summer when the warriors offered him the contract
He's washed. They made a mistake giving Draymond 100 million.
If Klay really wants to stay, he should take something like 2 year 20, with a player option for the second year. That way, if he can prove that he's worth more, he can negotiate for a better payout.
That era is done! Lets move the Page
Get your money Clay none of these teams are loyal to any of you players you're all just employees that are used when you're on the top and they give you a nice payday right off into the sunset so get your money up screw loyalty
Klay Thompson has talent but he thinks he should deserve more than Draymond but the organization would get rid of moody , kuminga, and even Kerr to keep Draymond sadly Stephen curry and Draymond Green has a mutual respect for each other Klay was always the odd man out on that team that why KD left 😮
Klay is washed. The Warriors should honestly just tear it all down and rebuild, they had a great run but all their main guys are out of their primes. Even Steph can't carry hard like he used to anymore.
Klay Thompson should go with the Lakers he’ll be with the better off system plus he’s a Laker for life. Also, everything with his name on it will sell tremendously crazy. Also Steve Kerr is not running a triangle offense no more he’s running an offense that is stagnant and doesn’t even work. He needs to go back to the triangle office. He should want to keep clay Thompsonbecause he’s a better shooter than Steve Kerr ever would be so at the end of the day we will take him the Lakers.
😂😂😂😂😂😂really, Klay should trust that organization who is led by a player (LBJ)…..really😂😂😂😂….I don’t think so!!!
Donovan Mitchell ain’t winning a chip so sure he can stay or If he wants a chip I’m sure he’ll leave
That green suit is fresh as fu 🔥
If Klay Thompson goes to the Lakers, his jersey and anything else of his apparel or with his likeness will sell triple then what he did in the Bay Area
U off hard drugs!!! Should’ve known u a lakers fan talking like that 🤣🤣🤣
Actually the merchandising boom will be LBJ and Bronny pioneering the marketing blitz. Jeannie Buss is literally salivating at the prospect.
warriors and klay should compromise. they want to give him 2yrs, he wants 3yrs+, make it 2yrs+1yr team option.
Klay should be willing to take less and stay but also think dubs could give an extra year of guarantee.
The mistake was giving green his money klay probably wants similar or a bit more and warriors wanna low ball him
Warriors offfers Klay almost the same salary as Draymond, and he said no.
The Warriors should keep Klay... IF he will come back for the right price, he's not a max contract guy and if that is what he wants, let me go find it somewhere else.
Keeping Chris Paul, a perennial loser in lieu of Klay Thompson, a 4-time champion who's played a crucial role in digging this franchise out the trenches, is absolutely mind blowing. Pay the man, keep the core together.
When i hear Ryan discussing basketball, i immediately leave.
klay to LA
PG come to GSW 👌
He’s made them a billion dollar franchise he is the business let him ride it out
Gsw should let Klay walk or sign/trade him and trade Draymond as well.
Look to acquire PG13 and a rim protecting big that can stretch the floor with shooting.
Yeah Moses moody is going to turn into an allstar 😂
watching this, i just noticed their suits
I got a feeling that the Warriors front office rushed klay back from injury to try to win games. And since they didn't win he's getting all the blame. Klay like I risked my career coming back early to help yal try to win and yal won't give me a reasonable contract # after all the championships.
Coming back early when? He literally injured himself in a street basketball game, GS didnt rush him back at all, they waited for him to recover and play.
@tigera6 I just don't think he was ever 100% never looked like it defensively
@@akhubauproductions3981 Thats because of the injury itself, not because they rushed him back early. We have seen players in the past who got major injury and couldnt get back to their best form, same thing for Klay and he got TWO major injury consecutively.
@tigera6 why play him if he's not 100% can't get back to 100% if u still playing on a injury.
@@akhubauproductions3981 the point is, he might NEVER be able to gotten back to his pre-injury self. Thats what happen to athlete when they suffered major injury. His injury heal 100%, but doesnt mean he can be the Klay of old.
GSW needs to protect their reputation and resign Klay for what he thinks he is worth so that their big-3 can retire together. Don't screw this up like what Chicago did with MJ and Pippen.
Much possible scenarios is they will trade Cp3 and others for some players and klay stays with the gsw.
Hope he comes to the sixers
Warriors gave him a max knowing he’d miss at least one year, he should give them a discount to stay
Klay staying in golden state, and paul George staying with the clippers. Both teams are still playoff contention teams, and both teams are in ideal areas to live, well into. Retirement. Im not buying anything from this reports. Even Mitchell already said he's staying with Cleveland. All this talk is to get us to stay tune.
Get rid of cp3 now
Paul George would be PERFECT replacement for Klay Thompson. In that system his shooting will be invaluable. His mind different. Won't even get a haircut.
I would rather give Klay 30 million over Chris Paul any day of the week, whoever agreed to bring on Paul should be fired.
STAY KLAY!!!
Kay should let go of gsw😅😅
Klay and Chris Paul on Vet mins to the Suns
