Perfect Fit. Klay can just stand in the corner and wait for Luka to pass him the ball. Klay doesn’t have to run around off of screens all game. Less stress on his knees!
Klay can’t be too mad at the warriors. His play declined and they already gave him a 5 year max in which he didn’t play 2.5 of those years. Still a messy breakup regardless.

This makes no sense. The Warriors gave him a 4 year max deal AFTER he broke his leg, then he tore his achilles keeping him out of the game for over 2.5 seasons. Even after he played below average to straight up terrible in both playoff runs, they still offered him a 2 year deal around $50M prior to last season, which he rejected. And that's before he had his worse season since 2014, then he had one of the worst games of his career.

Klay was a shell of himself and the warriors still won the title despite him in 2022........ hence the reason why Draymond poole and wiggins got a big pay day.........
Only Mavs and casual nba fans will say Klay got wronged by gsw. Stephen A and even Shannon Sharpe agreed they gave him a fair deal and offered him honestly a generous salary. Klay betrayed the dynasty trio he wanted $30-35m/year for the player he is now is straight up smoking crack!
This is GAS LIGHTING. The Wiggins deal, the jordan pool deal and the Dreymond deal all happened before the new Bargaining Agreement. Thr new CBA has basically made where owners dont want ro shovel out the money, so Wigs, Pool and Green getting paid has nothing to do with respect.

So Klay feeling disrespected is rediculious.
He had a hamstring strain before game 6 of the finals, he played his hardest and got injured bc someone hit him from the back. The warriors did nothing to stop him from playing. Were they just not suppose to pay there other star during the time? Are you actually stupid, why wouldn't they pay their stars when at the time he was in his Prime, when KD was just about to leave, why would they risk losing another core player...

exactly, it rubbed me the wrong way how casey is pretending like these contracts and the respective situations are a valid reason for Klay to be mad. Dray is still a better player than Klay, Poole had a great season and was key to win the chip, plus he got assaulted at the workplace. Wiggins was also key to the 2022 chip and is younger than Klay. And even if you agreed, that all those contracts are unjustified I would just answer, that Dubs FO learned their lessen and dont hand out charity money anymore.
They gave Klay a max for two years for absolutely nothing they didn’t do him dirty at all. They owed him nothing especially after he flamed out the past few postseasons.
Exactly my point. This narrative needs to stop just coz he got his feelings hurt doesn't mean they don't him dirty. This reminds me carmelo few years ago the ego was getting in the way of reality. Even this report contradicts itself saying they gave him a max while he was injured. They have looked after him. Also the 2 year 48 was more than anyone was gonna pay him and he basically got the same for 3 years at mavs 😂
Wtf?? He got injured playing for the team in the finals. Then had a freak accident during his ramp up to coming back?? They were under contract to pay him. Wtf is wrong with you.
He made them Billions in those championships they won. Let's see your boss just cut you then after you spent 25 30 years there coz that's the equivalent working lifetime for Klay who has spent nearly his career there
Klay owed nothing to the Warriors and the Warriors owed nothing to him. They very obviously both wanted to part ways, Klay literally told Steph to NOT interfere with the process to keep him. This fake drama shit is so overplayed.
I agree, this was to be expected after these two last seasons. This is how life goes, both parties won so much together they should cherish it and move on.
??? "fake drama shit" is wild especially with their history. Klay was payed a max when he was injured and was offered a $48M dollar deal for 2 seasons just last season- Klay owed the WARRIORS for trusting Klay as his role as a player yet proceeded to not only shoot 0/10 in his last game ever as a HOF Warrior, but simply leave the team for a "better role?" The media's reaction is understandable after what the warriors have done this past decade
@@applepetal It’s a multibillion dollar business and teams fuck over their players ALL the time with zero remorse or punishment. If you think the Warriors organization doesn’t see players as chess pieces to make as much money as possible, I don’t know what to tell you.

Klay walks away with a chance at another ring and the Warriors get to move on knowing this guy literally helped build their billion dollar business from a literal trash heap of a franchise. No, seriously, the warriors went from a bottom 5 team in revenue to a top 2 within a few years because of his contribution. I promise you, if you think there’s drama here, you’re exactly the type of person whose clicks the media is targeting.
@@jaretallred8138 warriors didnt f over their players, so far Klay never played for anyone else. He was personally proven that Warriors were loyal to him and had his back. Now it was time to pay back the favor and he says, catch ya later!
Not going to bad mouth Klay as a Dubs fan, but if you know you know … organization is not to be blamed either. Myers left cause he knew what needed to be done and he did not have the balls to do it. Loyalty allowed him to leave on his terms. When what was best for the organization was to trade him at the deadline last year. He was respected

They offered him the max when he got injured and couldn’t play forTWO YEARS!!!! saying Curry is washed is a joke. He’s still a top 10 player in the league CURRENTLY
Bob Myers ran away from this, he also trolled KD during their championship parade that contributed to KD's insecurity within the Dubs. Warriors did the most logical thing to do given the circumstances of the new CBA. People act as if Klay didn't get paid handsomely despite getting injured 🤦
@@TheBrotherHoodSports you don't know what you're talking about, draymond took a paycut to come back and still a essential piece of their team. gsw when dray was out was losing so many games. Klay got 43 mil every year just to come back wash and wasted 2 years
@@c87kim Imagine, you get injured trying your hardest to win in finals 2019. I swear, these new bandwagons don't know anything all they want is to prop up the new players.
The f you talking about? He got 2 freaking major injury and warriors kept him. Guess you never really watched the games. His body language sucked hard after his injuries. Rushed shots a lot. Shot bad shots and then pouted when things didn't go well. He's not the patient, lock down Klay amymore.
This is a stupid take. He didn’t play for 2 years but still got paid $80 million. Last year, he went 0-10 in a must-win play-in game. I’m not following what GS did to do him wrong. The media’s really pushing this narrative hard, though.
They want to make the Warriors the villains to finish killing the dynasty. Ain't happening. Klay had his chance last year to accept the extension. Not their fault the new CBA is going to constraint them... He should have thought of that at the beginning of the season...
Difference between Klay and Greene? Draymond on the court play proves he's worth 25 mil a season. Warriors willing to put with antics because he's a good compliment next to Steph. Only time their defense was any good was when he was on the court. Wiggins of court issues were unexpected. Poole may been worth the money, if Draymond didn't knock him out.
I'm not following. Klay got a serious injury and they gave him the max. Then he got another serious injury. He was out 2.5 years and wasn't pushed to return early. He wasn't the same player when he came back, and this season was one of his worst. He went 0-10 in an elimination game. They still were willing to offer him a contract after all of that. That's some loyalty on the organization's part, imo.
The biggest injury Klay suffered was his mental health. He went from low maintenance and fun loving to a head case who just could not accept what had happened to him or that he should change the way he played the game. He went from one of the best two way players in the game to an aging and slow shooter with no other skills to offer. Turns out some of the same things that made him great when he was super athletic and in his prime were the same things that made him almost impossible to keep on the court if you wanted to win a game. He has no chill when it comes to shot selection and as soon as he's off ball as a defender is a complete space cadet who just wanders around aimlessly with no idea what to do. He doesn't rebound, doesn't box out, doesn't hustle up and down the court. Even his shooting is more inconsistent than ever because his legs are gone if he plays more than 15 minutes or if he plays too many games in a week. He can't get the same space he used to only has to be slightly off balance for him to end up Klanking bricks. The best thing the Mavs can do is try and keep him to a spot up shooter playing 20 mins a game at most. But his ego and theirs won't let him.
Casey: Why would they pay everybody except Klay Also Casey: It's bad timing Question answered. Stop speculating about exactly who said what to who when and who's fault it is unless you actually have the information. The reality is that it doesn't make sense for the warriors to give Klay a massive contract right now, and saying they made mistakes in the past is true but not a reason to keep making them
Probably wanted a chance to play and win a championship. We all know warriors is going nowhere and they ain't gonna get a good team this year or the next.
They should pay him nobody wants to be injured. He gets injured because he work hard to win the championship. Heneed to rehab so he need money to pay for it. Klay was disrespected by the management of GSW that he was psychologically performed lesser than his original stats. His stats is still fair despite of his frustrations with GSW. So now tell me if it happens to you maybe you are so much worst than Klay. The humblest NBA player I've ever known and seen.
Mavs fans are gonna me mad as hell when he starts chucking up 3s and ends up going 3/13 or something nasty like that. I love Klay but you’re supposed to get paid for what you’re doing, not what you did
@@Acewincash Bro was shot hunting take off balance shots and playing no defense the whole of last year while also playing poorly in the playoffs/playins
Kuminga's third season was a promising step forward. Scoring went up to 16ppg & he maintained his efficiency. Maybe he'll be more motivated to improve & take another step forward with Klay out of the picture - Contract year for him - If he isn't feeling hurt about the front office trying to trade him. I don't mind the trade for Lauri. But, I think they should use this year to regroup. -See if Kuminga and younger guys take a leap. -Kind of wanted them to sign Covington for help on defense and still maybe have an effective small ball lineup. Even Melton is a decent/good. -Maybe tank & see if you can't get lucky in the draft lottery with next years loaded class. -Is Myles Turner a free agent come end of the season?
The only reason they drafted James Wiseman and not Lamelo is because they wanted to show respect to Klay Thompson and not getting another guard so they won’t make Klay feel like he is getting replaced.
As a warriors fan, I will even trade Kuminga, Moody, 3 Firsts and 2 Pick Swaps for Markennen just to give Curry a shot in his last years in NBA and then spend TPE for either Bey, Miles Bridges, Tyus Jones
I haven’t watched the video yet, but if we are talking about money, the warriors didn’t do Klay dirty at all. In fact they did MORE for him especially when he was injured. Now, if we are talking about disrespecting Klay by not talking to him, then maybe the dubs did him dirty. After watching the video, I’ll come back and edit my comments if necessary.
Watching the Dubs off the court is like watching the Kardashians. Filled with drama and filth, bad decisions that leave you asking, "why??? You guys are frickin nuts! And why do I even care???" You feel icky to admit that you enjoy watching it, but still, somehow at the end of the day they're one of the highest valued teams in the NBA.
Lively is definitely gonna be starting next season, with Gafford off the bench. I love Luka, and I want him all the career success in the world, but I hope Slovenia goes out of the Olympic qualifier early so he can get an actual offseason. That Slovenia team besides Luka is so awful that even if they somehow manage to qualify, they’re never gonna medal.
The Dubs could actually win a chip next year with Lauri. BUT. That would require 1) actually getting him. 2) Steph still playing at an MVP level in his late 30s. 3) Wiggins remembering how to play basketball. And 4) Draymond not punching anybody. So...actually, on second thought, we're screwed xD
I love the logic: The FO made a lot of mistakes before so they could add one more giving washed Thompson a 4-year max contract as he wanted. The GS are screwed anyway, they ain't a contender anymore and they're going to waste Curry's left Prime years
Trade Tip: Wiggins + 2 2nd-round picks to Bulls for LaVine + 2 1st-round picks. Then ship ZL to Kings for 2 more 1st-round picks + TPE. Finally, send TJD + 5 1st-round picks to Jazz for Markkanen using LaVine's & Klay's TPEs.
You can’t seem to accept that they gave their big three a last run, instead of doing the smart thing and playing the younger guys. It wasn’t just Klay and Draymond that were problematic, but also Wiggins. All 3 couldn’t come through. But yes, management is a problem. Why even bother with Dominic DiVincenzo if you’re just gonna get rid of him
Back to daily hilarious uploads or just capitalizing on the trade season? The videos lately have been great and a perfect delivery: not boring and not overexaggerating
I will miss you, Klay Thompson my man forever thanks for everything and thank you for s all the high school memories you guys really really made me happy with your fourth championship 😭😭😭😭😭😭❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
I am a warriors fan and I am very happy we didn't get Paul George, didn't resign Klay, and waived CP3. Mike Dunleavy has done a great job as a GM so far. He quickly corrected the mistakes Bob Myers made, and the 2023 draft class looks like a home run so far. The warriors need to seriously develop the young players and having Klay around will do the opposite.
If we want to be emotional, I would have traded him for a 2rp after his terrible attitude for the last two years. He was hurting the team on the court and off the court.
Your brain is doing you dirty with this take. Basketball is not a charity and the Warriors already stood by him through TWO long injuries. They still offered him a deal. Talking about the bad moves the warriors have made over the past few years is all well and good with the benefit of hindsight but you were one of the people who were singing their praises when they drafted Wiseman and signed the other bums to crazy deals. Now you change your tune - after the fact.
Thank you, this guy is a doofus fr. He tried to sell an idea a few months ago that the warriors could have a starting 5 of: Embiid C, LBJ PF, Draymond SF, Klay SG, Curry PG. Now he has another blasphemous take.
Klay was watching Dallas last year and knew he'd get tons of good looks there. He is still good and I think if they played him in a role where most his minutes are with the reserve unit, that'd be huge for DAL. They really lacked any kind of scoring punch outside of Luka/Kyrie and then PJ at times.
there's 1 thing you forgot, after the first injury there was a lot of news about klay going to the lakers and a few other potential teams, his father who used to play for the lakers was part of this debacle too so it's not just baseless rumors but klay's camp putting pressure on the warriors and in the end they had to give klay the bag to keep him other than that i agree with everything else
Hey Casey, I’m a big fan of yours and have been watching your videos since 2020. You make incredible content please keep up the good work. But respectfully speaking, you dropped the ball on your argument here and let me explain why 1) Jordan Poole: He was instrumental in that championship run in 2022. He was a restricted free agent the summer of 2023 and teams like Orlando were interested in Jordan after what he did for the dubs playoff run in 2022. So it made sense for them to lock him up because he was developing at a very rapid pace from the g league in ‘19-‘20 season to the g league player of the month in the ‘20-‘21 season to averaging 20ppg in the second half of ‘20-‘21 season, and finally averaging 23+ ppg on insane efficiency in the ‘21-‘22 season eventually leading to a championship. With that pace he could’ve made even better leaps in ‘23-‘24 so the dubs decided to extend him to maybe save value if he became much more valuable. Unfortunately the punch threw everything off a cliff and the dubs and Poole are both yet to recover from that. 2) Andrew Wiggins: Similar to Poole, his defense in the ‘21-‘22 season and his locking up of Luka & Tatum in that playoff run was instrumental in winning the championship. He was also an all star in that ‘21-‘22 season and deserved to be at least a reserve, despite the K-Pop influence on the voting that made him a starter. After the championship run in which he was the second best player on the team, and one of the best if not the best two way players in the league, he was extended with 4 years 109 million. Which in itself is a steal deal because it is an underpay for what he brings to the table. It is unfortunate that his father’s health was so badly affected and that had an emotional toll on him in the ‘22-‘23 season where the dubs severely missed his services. The same health issue in ‘23-‘24 again took a toll on him and he hasn’t been the same ever since his father’s health issue. 3) Draymond Green: This one is tricky. Back in summer and free agency of 2023, everyone assumed that the dubs would not give draymond the max. And he really didn’t deserve the max after punching Poole and turning everything in that locker room upside down. But other teams were willing to give him that much such as Memphis and Detroit so it had to be matched by the dubs, and I am sure Steph had a say in the team resigning draymond as well. In ‘23-‘24 he really messed up the chemistry of the dubs by his repetitive ejections and off court antics but what has been done has been done unfortunately and it cannot be undone. Also, from a basketball perspective it is pretty obvious, when looking at the warriors play, that draymond is essential to their success as a team. And that is why he deserves more than Klay for sure, because strictly speaking basketball it’s not even close how much more productive draymond is compared to Klay. Now coming to Klay, he felt bad that the dubs prioritized PG over him and kept him in the dark and feeling unimportant considering all that he has done for the franchise. It was not about the money after that point, and he wanted to leave no matter what and there was no stopping him. Even Steph couldn’t stop him. I hope this clears up the idea that somehow those 3 getting money which they deserved when the contracts were given is the reason he is feeling that way. Because they were give. From a basketball perspective and it made perfect sense to lock up the three of them when the dubs did.
Casey, Kuminga Averaged allstar numbers right after he called out Kerr for the minutes issue. Kerr cut his minutes again after in the later season and it costed the warriors a lot. Now you’re saying Kuminga isn’t worth to develop? Kuminga was averaging the same numbers as markannen after he called out Kerr. Your takes are horrible, the only reason you have views at this point is because of the other delusional fans. ESPN couldn’t even write takes as bad as this.
Propped up by Steph and Draymond is an overstatement. It's propped up by Steph alone. They didn't learn from trading Wiseman when his stock was low. Last season was the perfect time to trade kuminga and offload wigs or cp3 for a pg, pascal, og, or markkanen, or depth. It was also a point to not extend Draymond, and trade his expiring year(s)and to not extend Kerr because Kerr not giving the the young players playing time is what hurt them the most. He allowed Klay to shoot them out of games instead of kuminga or moody contributing, and looney to just be a body on the floor instead of Jackson. You have to feel bad for Steph dealing with all these egos and wasting his years at this point.
Warriors: this is the best we can offer you based on your performance last season. Klay: no Warriors: why? Klay: *shows 4 fingers* This is pretty much how klay claps back to people saying he's washed.
I think part of the "lowball" is because the Warriors were told to shed salary by Lacob, and needing to stay under the 2nd apron, so they could actually make moves. They didn't do him dirty. They just showed him reality.
Different management. Honestly Bob Myers shouldnt have overpaid klay on his last contract considering his injuries. He knew this was coming and get up outta there 😂
Right. That was dumb af. Wasted money on a player who couldn't even sign a team friendly deal! Warriors should have low balled him and saved money! He would have no choice but to accept the low ball offer!
Klay got a 5 year MAX. Let’s review: Year 1 - DNP Year 2 - DNP after getting hurt off the clock Year 3 - Played half the year Year 4 - Came into the szn out of shape (Kerr’s words) Year 5 - Worst year of his career Yet they did him wrong?
After watching every warriors game last year I don’t think you realize how many games Klay shot us out of. There is a reason he got benched for a rookie man. We maxed Klay right after an ACL tear. Offered him a 2 year 48 million dollar deal earlier last season. Idk how that is doing hk dirty at all
Just FYI, after the ACL tear, it was leaked at the time that Klay wasn’t following his treatment schedule then shows up in LA for a pick up game and blows the Achilles
okay on top of the million people mentioning the contract that was already offered to Klay and getting paid while injured, there’s another reason we don’t owe Klay shit. 1. Since he came back in January 2022, warriors immediately benched Poole despite that starting lineup leading them to a 20-3 start. Just for Klay to get his shine, they basically relegated Wiggins and Poole and let curry sit out games to just spend the next couple of months to allow Klay to get comfortable again. Playoffs come around and he’s still shooting tour dates and even curry who was injured, came off the bench. Klays terrible play lasted throughout the postseason minus the occasional great game (game 6 grizzlies comes to mind) and he was horrendous in those finals but yk what, they won the chip anyway 2. The next season starts and once again this make-a-wish offense for Klay has not subsided at all despite and this is also after the Poole incident, so Poole got a lot of the blame that Klay could’ve had in that moment. Wiggins taking PTO and curry being injured just allowed Klay to take as many shots as he wanted and honestly he had a great stretch in the second half of 2023 season so no complaints there. However, once the playoffs started he was once again terrible especially against the lakers where he shot springtime tour dates. 3. Imo he should’ve been benched during the 22-23 season to rip the band-aid off but after a bunch of infighting it finally happened in the 23-24 season for Podz. He’s a great rookie but he’s also not meant to play in the Klay role so it was an awkward fit at times. Despite the benching, Klay did seem a lot better here and it seemed like he was getting ready to accept it. Him leaving was tough to see because he’s one of the greatest shooters of all time and one of the faces of the greatest dynasties of all time, but imo he’s had more than enough chances than most nba players do coming off this many setbacks. I feel for the guy, but you can only get so many chances in life and he blew them

Fair but you do what it takes to respect those who made you
They gave Klay a max for two years for absolutely nothing they didn’t do him dirty at all. They owed him nothing especially after he flamed out the past few postseasons.
Exactly my point. This narrative needs to stop just coz he got his feelings hurt doesn't mean they don't him dirty. This reminds me carmelo few years ago the ego was getting in the way of reality. Even this report contradicts itself saying they gave him a max while he was injured. They have looked after him. Also the 2 year 48 was more than anyone was gonna pay him and he basically got the same for 3 years at mavs 😂
warriors fans the most ungrateful and shortsighted people ive ever seen yall werent even relevant til the splash bros 😂😂😂
Not to mention that Steve Kerr put developing young players on the back-burner in favor of playing Klay through his troubles.
W take
Wtf?? He got injured playing for the team in the finals. Then had a freak accident during his ramp up to coming back?? They were under contract to pay him. Wtf is wrong with you.
Paid him 80 million in 2 years to rehab. Yet they did him wrong 😂😂😂
That's what I'm saying🤬
I know!!
Right
He made them Billions in those championships they won. Let's see your boss just cut you then after you spent 25 30 years there coz that's the equivalent working lifetime for Klay who has spent nearly his career there
@@raymondqiu8202 Right, keep paying Klay supermax deals till 2050. You are even a bigger clown than AM is.
Klay owed nothing to the Warriors and the Warriors owed nothing to him. They very obviously both wanted to part ways, Klay literally told Steph to NOT interfere with the process to keep him. This fake drama shit is so overplayed.
Word he looking like Melo not wanting to come off the bench. 🤣
I agree, this was to be expected after these two last seasons. This is how life goes, both parties won so much together they should cherish it and move on.
???
"fake drama shit" is wild especially with their history. Klay was payed a max when he was injured and was offered a $48M dollar deal for 2 seasons just last season- Klay owed the WARRIORS for trusting Klay as his role as a player yet proceeded to not only shoot 0/10 in his last game ever as a HOF Warrior, but simply leave the team for a "better role?" The media's reaction is understandable after what the warriors have done this past decade
@@applepetal It’s a multibillion dollar business and teams fuck over their players ALL the time with zero remorse or punishment. If you think the Warriors organization doesn’t see players as chess pieces to make as much money as possible, I don’t know what to tell you. Klay makes a decision based on his own interests and suddenly he’s a dick and the Warriors feewings are hurt? After everything he’s done? Give me a break. Klay walks away with a chance at another ring and the Warriors get to move on knowing this guy literally helped build their billion dollar business from a literal trash heap of a franchise. No, seriously, the warriors went from a bottom 5 team in revenue to a top 2 within a few years because of his contribution. I promise you, if you think there’s drama here, you’re exactly the type of person whose clicks the media is targeting.
@@jaretallred8138 warriors didnt f over their players, so far Klay never played for anyone else. He was personally proven that Warriors were loyal to him and had his back. Now it was time to pay back the favor and he says, catch ya later!
Failed him? He was the 12th highest paid player in the league on a contract he got when he couldn't walk
Not going to bad mouth Klay as a Dubs fan, but if you know you know … organization is not to be blamed either. Myers left cause he knew what needed to be done and he did not have the balls to do it. Loyalty allowed him to leave on his terms. When what was best for the organization was to trade him at the deadline last year. He was respected
The dubs gave Klay a max when he got injured and didn’t PLAY FOR TWO YEARS!!
They offered him 2 years 48 MILLION and he turned it down to be a role player on the Mavs for 3 years 50 MILLION! Klay did the warriors dirty
Right! Warriors shouldn't even gave an injured player a max deal if he wasn't going to sign a team friendly deal after his injuries! Wtf
Remember Draymond Green? Now THAT'S a ROLE PLAYER 😮
@@ItsYaBoi888 they offered him 4 years 100 million, Klay 2 years 48 million.. warriors offered the two role players the same money basically. Klay went 0-10 in the play-ins
@@Rosegoldcam it takes a team to win. Don't blame it all on Klay Thompson. Draymond and Curry are washed up too and they got paid.
@@ItsYaBoi888 lol he went 0-10 in the playoffs & they offered Klay the same money as draymond. 2 years 48 million. Dremond 4 years 100 million. The man took 3 years 50 million!!! He’s disloyal!!! They offered him the max when he got injured and couldn’t play forTWO YEARS!!!! saying Curry is washed is a joke. He’s still a top 10 player in the league CURRENTLY
Bob Myers ran away from this, he also trolled KD during their championship parade that contributed to KD's insecurity within the Dubs.
Warriors did the most logical thing to do given the circumstances of the new CBA.
People act as if Klay didn't get paid handsomely despite getting injured 🤦
I just showed Klay the song “Dupe - Mbappe”, and he said it will help him be motivated this season 🔥🔥🔥
Wait the Warriors failed Klay? You mean Klay failed the warriors...
Didn't they pay Draymond after he failed them over and over? Why is it different for Klay?
@@TheBrotherHoodSports you don't know what you're talking about, draymond took a paycut to come back and still a essential piece of their team. gsw when dray was out was losing so many games. Klay got 43 mil every year just to come back wash and wasted 2 years
@@TheBrotherHoodSportsdonkey actually knew his place and folded but klay couldnt i guess 😢
4 rings. Getting old ain’t failing the team lol
@@c87kim Imagine, you get injured trying your hardest to win in finals 2019. I swear, these new bandwagons don't know anything all they want is to prop up the new players.
They paid him $43M for each of the two seasons he missed and then offered him $48M for two years? I hope someone does me dirty like that!
Fr
Praying on my own downfall at this point 🙏
exactly!!!
IKR? The Warriors can do me dirty anytime!
The f you talking about? He got 2 freaking major injury and warriors kept him. Guess you never really watched the games. His body language sucked hard after his injuries. Rushed shots a lot. Shot bad shots and then pouted when things didn't go well. He's not the patient, lock down Klay amymore.
His bad attitude was untenable. For that alone I would have shown him the door.
This is a stupid take. He didn’t play for 2 years but still got paid $80 million. Last year, he went 0-10 in a must-win play-in game.
I’m not following what GS did to do him wrong. The media’s really pushing this narrative hard, though.
They want to make the Warriors the villains to finish killing the dynasty. Ain't happening. Klay had his chance last year to accept the extension. Not their fault the new CBA is going to constraint them... He should have thought of that at the beginning of the season...
Difference between Klay and Greene? Draymond on the court play proves he's worth 25 mil a season. Warriors willing to put with antics because he's a good compliment next to Steph. Only time their defense was any good was when he was on the court.
Wiggins of court issues were unexpected. Poole may been worth the money, if Draymond didn't knock him out.
I'm not following. Klay got a serious injury and they gave him the max. Then he got another serious injury. He was out 2.5 years and wasn't pushed to return early. He wasn't the same player when he came back, and this season was one of his worst. He went 0-10 in an elimination game. They still were willing to offer him a contract after all of that. That's some loyalty on the organization's part, imo.
with klay playing significant minutes with 0 pts in the most important game of their season, no one owes nobody.
The biggest injury Klay suffered was his mental health. He went from low maintenance and fun loving to a head case who just could not accept what had happened to him or that he should change the way he played the game. He went from one of the best two way players in the game to an aging and slow shooter with no other skills to offer. Turns out some of the same things that made him great when he was super athletic and in his prime were the same things that made him almost impossible to keep on the court if you wanted to win a game. He has no chill when it comes to shot selection and as soon as he's off ball as a defender is a complete space cadet who just wanders around aimlessly with no idea what to do. He doesn't rebound, doesn't box out, doesn't hustle up and down the court. Even his shooting is more inconsistent than ever because his legs are gone if he plays more than 15 minutes or if he plays too many games in a week. He can't get the same space he used to only has to be slightly off balance for him to end up Klanking bricks.
The best thing the Mavs can do is try and keep him to a spot up shooter playing 20 mins a game at most. But his ego and theirs won't let him.
Casey: Why would they pay everybody except Klay
Also Casey: It's bad timing
Question answered. Stop speculating about exactly who said what to who when and who's fault it is unless you actually have the information. The reality is that it doesn't make sense for the warriors to give Klay a massive contract right now, and saying they made mistakes in the past is true but not a reason to keep making them
Bro forgot Klay sat out 2 years getting a shit ton of money. Klay was the dirty one here.
Lol, did you listen bro? It's not his fault they offered him the money🤣
Nah quite the opposite
Klay is messed up. He got the max for very little in return. There is no need to throw tantrums after how much GSW paid him previously.
The Warriors paid Klay even after he got hurt...They did NOT do wrong by him...
As a die hard warriors fan, i feel so hurt that he left.
He gonna be like KD. A ring chaser now
They already paid him star money through both the acl and Achilles, why tf does he want more while playing so ass
Plus, he took less money anyway.
Probably wanted a chance to play and win a championship. We all know warriors is going nowhere and they ain't gonna get a good team this year or the next.
It's crazy the only time people call Kyrie a bad defender is during the off-season when he's not on the court shutting people up
Klay used to be a quiet humble guy.....that's not who he is anymore.
WDYM. He was always arrogant.
He has the attitude I wish curry had. A little arrogance so he could’ve put these clowns in their place years ago
Actually Klay did them dirty they paid him 80million to rehab, then he came back worst than ever and didn’t want a pay cut
Right! Shouldn't have paid him all that free money. Should have low balled him!
They should pay him nobody wants to be injured. He gets injured because he work hard to win the championship. Heneed to rehab so he need money to pay for it. Klay was disrespected by the management of GSW that he was psychologically performed lesser than his original stats. His stats is still fair despite of his frustrations with GSW. So now tell me if it happens to you maybe you are so much worst than Klay. The humblest NBA player I've ever known and seen.
Mavs fans are gonna me mad as hell when he starts chucking up 3s and ends up going 3/13 or something nasty like that. I love Klay but you’re supposed to get paid for what you’re doing, not what you did
🎯
Come on now Klay shouldn't be as bad as Tim hardaway
@@Acewincash Bro was shot hunting take off balance shots and playing no defense the whole of last year while also playing poorly in the playoffs/playins
The end of an era😢
Kuminga's third season was a promising step forward. Scoring went up to 16ppg & he maintained his efficiency.
Maybe he'll be more motivated to improve & take another step forward with Klay out of the picture - Contract year for him - If he isn't feeling hurt about the front office trying to trade him.
I don't mind the trade for Lauri. But, I think they should use this year to regroup.
-See if Kuminga and younger guys take a leap.
-Kind of wanted them to sign Covington for help on defense and still maybe have an effective small ball lineup. Even Melton is a decent/good.
-Maybe tank & see if you can't get lucky in the draft lottery with next years loaded class.
-Is Myles Turner a free agent come end of the season?
All I heard in this video is that Klay has a case of hurt feelings
The only reason they drafted James Wiseman and not Lamelo is because they wanted to show respect to Klay Thompson and not getting another guard so they won’t make Klay feel like he is getting replaced.
No way the Jazz take 2 picks with Kuminga and Moody for Lauri after what Mikal Bridges just got traded for.
Klay is that ex who talks behind your back long after you break up with him😂
Klay turned down a bigger contract with the Warriors at the beginning of the yr, played like ass, then wants that same contract still on the table??🤔🤔
I don't think the Lakers big 3 were Magic, Kareem, and Coop. I think you left out Big Game James
He wants to rub a championship ring in the warriors face and believes his best way of accomplishing it is with the current Mavs line-up.
He better go and ask KD how that went. Three teams and a sweep later.
Your always so fast with all the great the content thank you so much keep up the good work!❤
Clickbait title. GSW also wasn’t happy with how he rehabbed his acl, when he tore his Achilles playing pickup ball.
Why klay getting mad he played like shit vs kings
Worse
Warriors are running a business and did the right thing, unlike the Lakers!!!
"La rarely loses free agents to Dallas", but now has happened two years in a row with Kyrie and Klay.
As a warriors fan, I will even trade Kuminga, Moody, 3 Firsts and 2 Pick Swaps for Markennen just to give Curry a shot in his last years in NBA and then spend TPE for either Bey, Miles Bridges, Tyus Jones
I haven’t watched the video yet, but if we are talking about money, the warriors didn’t do Klay dirty at all. In fact they did MORE for him especially when he was injured. Now, if we are talking about disrespecting Klay by not talking to him, then maybe the dubs did him dirty. After watching the video, I’ll come back and edit my comments if necessary.
Watching the Dubs off the court is like watching the Kardashians. Filled with drama and filth, bad decisions that leave you asking, "why??? You guys are frickin nuts! And why do I even care???"
You feel icky to admit that you enjoy watching it, but still, somehow at the end of the day they're one of the highest valued teams in the NBA.
Lively is definitely gonna be starting next season, with Gafford off the bench.
I love Luka, and I want him all the career success in the world, but I hope Slovenia goes out of the Olympic qualifier early so he can get an actual offseason. That Slovenia team besides Luka is so awful that even if they somehow manage to qualify, they’re never gonna medal.
The Dubs could actually win a chip next year with Lauri.
BUT. That would require 1) actually getting him. 2) Steph still playing at an MVP level in his late 30s. 3) Wiggins remembering how to play basketball. And 4) Draymond not punching anybody.
So...actually, on second thought, we're screwed xD
Even if all that happened I still wouldn’t think they have a chance against the stacked western conference
I love the logic: The FO made a lot of mistakes before so they could add one more giving washed Thompson a 4-year max contract as he wanted. The GS are screwed anyway, they ain't a contender anymore and they're going to waste Curry's left Prime years
If the Warriors paid Klay what he wanted this video would be about how dumb that was.
No they don't. Warriors help Klay when he need and know he want more? With this performances? No
Klay in the post season when it really matters...we will see...🏀
Another Great Video Casey 🏀🫡🔥😤🎯💯
Trade Tip: Wiggins + 2 2nd-round picks to Bulls for LaVine + 2 1st-round picks. Then ship ZL to Kings for 2 more 1st-round picks + TPE. Finally, send TJD + 5 1st-round picks to Jazz for Markkanen using LaVine's & Klay's TPEs.
That wluodnt work since the bulls would never give Lavine + 2 first round picks when the original deal was just Chris Paul + Andrew Wiggins for lavine
It was Klay who did the warriors dirty, not the other way around.
F these titles. Clickbait bs.
Seems pretty accurate to me
You can’t seem to accept that they gave their big three a last run, instead of doing the smart thing and playing the younger guys. It wasn’t just Klay and Draymond that were problematic, but also Wiggins. All 3 couldn’t come through. But yes, management is a problem. Why even bother with Dominic DiVincenzo if you’re just gonna get rid of him
They got DiVincenzo cheap his first year back from injury - they new they couldn't afford to keep him if he played to his protentional.
@@FullContactCoder why not develop someone that you’re going to keep?
Podz really was playing better than Klay tho lol dubs need to make some moves
Some serious MOVES
Warriors: 48M / 2yrs
Mavs: 50M / 3yrs
I guess Klay's soul is tax free! 😂
Back to daily hilarious uploads or just capitalizing on the trade season?
The videos lately have been great and a perfect delivery: not boring and not overexaggerating
I will miss you, Klay Thompson my man forever thanks for everything and thank you for s all the high school memories you guys really really made me happy with your fourth championship 😭😭😭😭😭😭❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
"warriors failed klay" clown hoops strikes again, 1 max contract while injured isnt enough
I am a warriors fan and I am very happy we didn't get Paul George, didn't resign Klay, and waived CP3. Mike Dunleavy has done a great job as a GM so far. He quickly corrected the mistakes Bob Myers made, and the 2023 draft class looks like a home run so far. The warriors need to seriously develop the young players and having Klay around will do the opposite.
He wasn’t productive enough, a business move was made, got to learn to put those emotions to the side.
you don’t know business
@@josh_harrisonexplain business to us josh
If we want to be emotional, I would have traded him for a 2rp after his terrible attitude for the last two years. He was hurting the team on the court and off the court.
@@josh_harrison I do know one thing, in business, it’s never personal.
Needed A.M. Hoops to have a video on every trade and signing on everyteam and his opinion
Your brain is doing you dirty with this take. Basketball is not a charity and the Warriors already stood by him through TWO long injuries. They still offered him a deal. Talking about the bad moves the warriors have made over the past few years is all well and good with the benefit of hindsight but you were one of the people who were singing their praises when they drafted Wiseman and signed the other bums to crazy deals. Now you change your tune - after the fact.
Thank you, this guy is a doofus fr. He tried to sell an idea a few months ago that the warriors could have a starting 5 of: Embiid C, LBJ PF, Draymond SF, Klay SG, Curry PG.
Now he has another blasphemous take.
The wnba is basketball and is a charity 🤷
@@Juiceontheloose76we’re talking about the nba here though. Not the wnba.
thanks for 3 videos in 2 days
Bro we gave him 200mil when he was injured for 2
Great video a.m. hoops, luka doncic, kyrie irving and klay thompson in the same team, Wow
Klay was watching Dallas last year and knew he'd get tons of good looks there.
He is still good and I think if they played him in a role where most his minutes are with the reserve unit, that'd be huge for DAL. They really lacked any kind of scoring punch outside of Luka/Kyrie and then PJ at times.
nice analysis bro, keep it up...
Great journalism mate
Good vid this
there's 1 thing you forgot, after the first injury there was a lot of news about klay going to the lakers and a few other potential teams, his father who used to play for the lakers was part of this debacle too so it's not just baseless rumors but klay's camp putting pressure on the warriors and in the end they had to give klay the bag to keep him
other than that i agree with everything else
Hey Casey,
I’m a big fan of yours and have been watching your videos since 2020. You make incredible content please keep up the good work.
But respectfully speaking, you dropped the ball on your argument here and let me explain why
1) Jordan Poole: He was instrumental in that championship run in 2022. He was a restricted free agent the summer of 2023 and teams like Orlando were interested in Jordan after what he did for the dubs playoff run in 2022. So it made sense for them to lock him up because he was developing at a very rapid pace from the g league in ‘19-‘20 season to the g league player of the month in the ‘20-‘21 season to averaging 20ppg in the second half of ‘20-‘21 season, and finally averaging 23+ ppg on insane efficiency in the ‘21-‘22 season eventually leading to a championship. With that pace he could’ve made even better leaps in ‘23-‘24 so the dubs decided to extend him to maybe save value if he became much more valuable.
Unfortunately the punch threw everything off a cliff and the dubs and Poole are both yet to recover from that.
2) Andrew Wiggins: Similar to Poole, his defense in the ‘21-‘22 season and his locking up of Luka & Tatum in that playoff run was instrumental in winning the championship. He was also an all star in that ‘21-‘22 season and deserved to be at least a reserve, despite the K-Pop influence on the voting that made him a starter. After the championship run in which he was the second best player on the team, and one of the best if not the best two way players in the league, he was extended with 4 years 109 million. Which in itself is a steal deal because it is an underpay for what he brings to the table. It is unfortunate that his father’s health was so badly affected and that had an emotional toll on him in the ‘22-‘23 season where the dubs severely missed his services. The same health issue in ‘23-‘24 again took a toll on him and he hasn’t been the same ever since his father’s health issue.
3) Draymond Green: This one is tricky. Back in summer and free agency of 2023, everyone assumed that the dubs would not give draymond the max. And he really didn’t deserve the max after punching Poole and turning everything in that locker room upside down. But other teams were willing to give him that much such as Memphis and Detroit so it had to be matched by the dubs, and I am sure Steph had a say in the team resigning draymond as well.
In ‘23-‘24 he really messed up the chemistry of the dubs by his repetitive ejections and off court antics but what has been done has been done unfortunately and it cannot be undone. Also, from a basketball perspective it is pretty obvious, when looking at the warriors play, that draymond is essential to their success as a team. And that is why he deserves more than Klay for sure, because strictly speaking basketball it’s not even close how much more productive draymond is compared to Klay.
Now coming to Klay, he felt bad that the dubs prioritized PG over him and kept him in the dark and feeling unimportant considering all that he has done for the franchise. It was not about the money after that point, and he wanted to leave no matter what and there was no stopping him. Even Steph couldn’t stop him.
I hope this clears up the idea that somehow those 3 getting money which they deserved when the contracts were given is the reason he is feeling that way. Because they were give. From a basketball perspective and it made perfect sense to lock up the three of them when the dubs did.
plz do, "what are the warriors gonna do"plzzzzzzzzz
Casey, Kuminga Averaged allstar numbers right after he called out Kerr for the minutes issue. Kerr cut his minutes again after in the later season and it costed the warriors a lot. Now you’re saying Kuminga isn’t worth to develop? Kuminga was averaging the same numbers as markannen after he called out Kerr. Your takes are horrible, the only reason you have views at this point is because of the other delusional fans. ESPN couldn’t even write takes as bad as this.
Lmao try Kuminga Moody and 4 firsts. No way Jazz trade for only 2 picks you’re high!
People love to think Lauri is available for a 1st and a bag of chips. Lol. Anyone could have gotten him before he went to Utah.
Propped up by Steph and Draymond is an overstatement. It's propped up by Steph alone. They didn't learn from trading Wiseman when his stock was low. Last season was the perfect time to trade kuminga and offload wigs or cp3 for a pg, pascal, og, or markkanen, or depth. It was also a point to not extend Draymond, and trade his expiring year(s)and to not extend Kerr because Kerr not giving the the young players playing time is what hurt them the most. He allowed Klay to shoot them out of games instead of kuminga or moody contributing, and looney to just be a body on the floor instead of Jackson. You have to feel bad for Steph dealing with all these egos and wasting his years at this point.
Damn I'm early love your videos AMhoops!!
I can’t lie the Warriors made the right decision
Your videos are great!
Warriors: this is the best we can offer you based on your performance last season.
Klay: no
Warriors: why?
Klay: *shows 4 fingers*
This is pretty much how klay claps back to people saying he's washed.
I think part of the "lowball" is because the Warriors were told to shed salary by Lacob, and needing to stay under the 2nd apron, so they could actually make moves. They didn't do him dirty. They just showed him reality.
Different management. Honestly Bob Myers shouldnt have overpaid klay on his last contract considering his injuries. He knew this was coming and get up outta there 😂
Right. That was dumb af. Wasted money on a player who couldn't even sign a team friendly deal!
Warriors should have low balled him and saved money! He would have no choice but to accept the low ball offer!
Bruh I been refreshing for ur video lol
Klay got a 5 year MAX. Let’s review:
Year 1 - DNP
Year 2 - DNP after getting hurt off the clock
Year 3 - Played half the year
Year 4 - Came into the szn out of shape (Kerr’s words)
Year 5 - Worst year of his career
Yet they did him wrong?
honestly, that's not enough for Lauri. He was just MIP while averaging 25 ppg on nearly 50/40/90 splits
After watching every warriors game last year I don’t think you realize how many games Klay shot us out of. There is a reason he got benched for a rookie man. We maxed Klay right after an ACL tear. Offered him a 2 year 48 million dollar deal earlier last season. Idk how that is doing hk dirty at all
Please can you talk about milwaukee bucks this off-season what they need to contend
I'm a huge fan of the bucks
Just FYI, after the ACL tear, it was leaked at the time that Klay wasn’t following his treatment schedule then shows up in LA for a pick up game and blows the Achilles
I wish someone payed me 40 million for 2 years for nothing.
No way 2 first rounders, more like 4-5 first rounders knowing Danny.
Klay needed a good environment for his mental health. Dallas Mavericks is tye best team for redemption. Good luck Klay.
Mikal Bridges costed 5 FRP, if you think Lauri is going for anything less, you're probably smoking crack
Getting 2 Klay videos in 2 days is kinda crazy
okay on top of the million people mentioning the contract that was already offered to Klay and getting paid while injured, there’s another reason we don’t owe Klay shit.
1. Since he came back in January 2022, warriors immediately benched Poole despite that starting lineup leading them to a 20-3 start. Just for Klay to get his shine, they basically relegated Wiggins and Poole and let curry sit out games to just spend the next couple of months to allow Klay to get comfortable again. Playoffs come around and he’s still shooting tour dates and even curry who was injured, came off the bench. Klays terrible play lasted throughout the postseason minus the occasional great game (game 6 grizzlies comes to mind) and he was horrendous in those finals but yk what, they won the chip anyway
2. The next season starts and once again this make-a-wish offense for Klay has not subsided at all despite and this is also after the Poole incident, so Poole got a lot of the blame that Klay could’ve had in that moment. Wiggins taking PTO and curry being injured just allowed Klay to take as many shots as he wanted and honestly he had a great stretch in the second half of 2023 season so no complaints there. However, once the playoffs started he was once again terrible especially against the lakers where he shot springtime tour dates.
3. Imo he should’ve been benched during the 22-23 season to rip the band-aid off but after a bunch of infighting it finally happened in the 23-24 season for Podz. He’s a great rookie but he’s also not meant to play in the Klay role so it was an awkward fit at times. Despite the benching, Klay did seem a lot better here and it seemed like he was getting ready to accept it.
Him leaving was tough to see because he’s one of the greatest shooters of all time and one of the faces of the greatest dynasties of all time, but imo he’s had more than enough chances than most nba players do coming off this many setbacks. I feel for the guy, but you can only get so many chances in life and he blew them
