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!
Warriors didn't do him dirty the paid him to take 2 years off come on white boy what are you thinking
Klay Thompson did get done dirty but it was time to move on
What do u think about Kyle Anderson signing with the dubs
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!
Then settled for 50 over 3
@@titanmma101 spite deal to have a chance to win
It’s could be a ego thing but at the same time it’s possible he thought they also might trade him.
Man they did him dirty af
Hes one of the reasons why gs is the franchise it is now dumbass. Thats the LEAST they can do for an injured player who helped turn their franchise around
they paid him 80 million to rehab. They did not "do him dirty"
When you’re paying clowns like Poole and Draymond technically they did
they didn't know he was gonna get injured again the second time....GSW without Klay was dogshit all along.
@@superbilly16we’re really gonna pretend klay was that valuable? Poole was the better player when he was there lol so was wiggins in the championship run
@@cleanfresh6718Nah nothing dirty about it. They paid him a ton while he got healthy and that was his good faith deal. Then they offered him his market value and wanted him on the team...in this scenario the only way they don't do him dirty is offering him a franchise crippling deal that no one in the entire NBA is going to give him cause he's not worth that much anymore
@@cleanfresh6718 They paid him knowing he tore his ACL and tore his Achilles! They paid him because they were loyal.
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.
Klay overrated
Came back from those injuries averaged 20 with efficient shooting, helped win 4th chip. Worst year averaging 18 with still above average 3pt shooting. Been durable since being back from injury.
Dude has been playing more games than most players on a Max contact. Not saying Klay deserves it but the offers he received are a joke.
@@jblack530 the offers he received are what he’s worth. Poole didn’t deserve his contract but that’s that.
Klay is gonna be 34, he’s not the same on defense and is on the verge of phasing out of the starting caliber tier of guards. Most other guys on max contracts are either way better than Klay or had a mediocre team offer them an unreasonably massive overpay of a contract
@@jblack5300-10 in an elimination gamr
Bro this his 17th season n it’s sad watching our era end like this they all goin out bad jus look at kd klay melo dirk the list goes on I hope these young dudes taking notes n learning how to take a backseat wen they aren’t as good anymore one player I think is goin out good is pg he make sure he on a contending team as a 3-4th option
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.
Plus golden state only won the 2022 nba finals because of steph doing his best allen iverson impression, Jordan poole offensive explosion in the regular season, andrew wiggins playing like a all star and Draymond leading the defense.......
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.........
@@chasenickles260fax w comment this the one I was looking for so we didn't do him dirty gw did us dirty really stab us in the back
It was his ACL then his Achilles. Never a broken leg
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!
@@chasenickles260exactly
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.
You speaking facts … bro got paid like 80 million to rehab his injury … and now he’s pocket watching… loser
Hi
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. Also lets address Klay, Klau was given a deal AFTER he got hurt for 5 years 190 mil. Didnt play for 2 of those years, meanwhile Dreymond had not been taken care if by the organization yet. 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...
You're actually a clueless bandwagon, obviously just started watching lmao.
They got off of Poole, and wish they could get off of Wiggins.
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.
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!
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...
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.
Failed him? He was the 12th highest paid player in the league on a contract he got when he couldn't walk
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
Klay did the Warriors dirty shooting 0/10 🧱🧱🧱 in an elimination game.
Exactly
Had one bad game like no one has ever had a terrible performance in a elimination game like leave him alone
Also when game 6 Klay saved the Warriors from OKC. Or when Klay was the only guy going toe to toe with Kawaii in 2019. Ya, they're all in the past now. We can mention the good and the bad. Damn, 1 game got you that mad when he helped win 4 chips? What a fucking loser.
was exactly what I was thinking
@@Love2Musgrave acting like he wasn’t @$$ all season
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
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.
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 🔥🔥🔥
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.
with klay playing significant minutes with 0 pts in the most important game of their season, no one owes nobody.
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.
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.
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??🤔🤔
Nah quite the opposite
Why klay getting mad he played like shit vs kings
Worse
Honestly, if he scored 20 points, he would probably be here now
All I heard in this video is that Klay has a case of hurt feelings
Bro forgot Klay sat out 2 years getting a shit ton of money. Klay was the dirty one here.
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.
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.
The Warriors paid Klay even after he got hurt...They did NOT do wrong by him...
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
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
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
"warriors failed klay" clown hoops strikes again, 1 max contract while injured isnt enough
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 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.
"La rarely loses free agents to Dallas", but now has happened two years in a row with Kyrie and Klay.
If the Warriors paid Klay what he wanted this video would be about how dumb that was.
Clickbait title. GSW also wasn’t happy with how he rehabbed his acl, when he tore his Achilles playing pickup ball.
As a die hard warriors fan, i feel so hurt that he left.
Podz really was playing better than Klay tho lol dubs need to make some moves
Some serious MOVES
Klay is that ex who talks behind your back long after you break up with him😂
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.
It was Klay who did the warriors dirty, not the other way around.
F these titles. Clickbait bs.
Seems pretty accurate to me
Bro we gave him 200mil when he was injured for 2
The end of an era😢
I don't think the Lakers big 3 were Magic, Kareem, and Coop. I think you left out Big Game James
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
No they don't. Warriors help Klay when he need and know he want more? With this performances? No
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.
No way the Jazz take 2 picks with Kuminga and Moody for Lauri after what Mikal Bridges just got traded for.
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
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.
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!
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.
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
While negotiations with the Warriors reportedly stalled over the past couple of weeks leading up to the start of free agency, Thompson spoke to Curry and requested the star point guard not to pressure the Warriors front office into re-signing Thompson, The Athletic's Anthony Slater reported in a feature story on Monday.
"It’s been a layered five-year path to this divorce, splintering last season, sprouting earlier and finalizing in the last couple weeks, where -among the conversations Thompson had, league sources said - was a request of Stephen Curry not to exert his significant organizational influence and up the temperature with management to ensure Thompson’s return," Slater wrote. "Curry’s measured voice, even if it altered the outcome, wouldn’t change the genuineness of Joe Lacob and the front office’s true desire to have Thompson back."
It appears his wish was granted as the Warriors reportedly had very little communication with Thompson and his representatives over the past couple of weeks.
And now Thompson is gone.
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!
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.
I can’t lie the Warriors made the right decision
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.
You're a natural on camera, keep shining!
Anyone here in 2025?

2027 here
Nah
bro time traveling
If Manu can be benched, why can't Klay?
Man, compare Manu's attitude with Klay's, it's night and day. Steph had some great teammates, but they didn't age as well as those Spurs.
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 🤷
@@dandillon3401we’re talking about the nba here though. Not the wnba.
paying him 100mil to take off 2.5 seasons off while injured doing him so dirty
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.
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?
Crazy how mavs fans go from "Klay went 0/10 from the field" to ''OMG WE GOT KLAY THOMPSON, WE LOVE YOU!!!''
Why did they fail Klay
Klay got a max when he injured and he was good in their championship season but after that he was washed
Klay should have been humble and took a pay cut
He did take the pay cut and more!
Would you ever take a pay cut for your employer?
@@raymondqiu8202 If they paid me 190 mil over 5 yeard and I didn't work half that time I would, would you not?
@@alfredocaceres4680 nah we talking about your own wages, he deserved his 190m coz that's how much he's worth. It's comparable to if you were the top employee at your company and then barely got bonuses or raises even though you been there 25 30 years coz that's the equivalent working lifetime for Klay who has spent his career there. But don't expect you to understand coz you compared his 190m to your wages when you don't have his skillset lol some ppl brain cells man
@raymondqiu8202 You are just yapping, why wouldn't I compare? Seems like the one lacking braincells is you. He got a mar for 5 years and played 2.5 and he also took way less money to go to Dallas with 50m for 3 years, so he also took a bigger paycut. So you insult people even though your argument is all over the place and you act like the amount of money doesn't matter when taking a paycut.
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?
Mikal Bridges costed 5 FRP, if you think Lauri is going for anything less, you're probably smoking crack
Not overrated at all just wait and watch Mavs finish as the 1 or 2 seed in the west!
I wish someone payed me 40 million for 2 years for nothing.
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.
nah dude was just too good at math, 3 pointers worth more than 2 pointers, 50 is more than 48
48 over 2 years is 24m a year, vs 50m over 3 years which is around 16.5m. He’s making less money in this 3 year contract. Bro was bitching about a max then took a pay cut for a conference rival. What a joke, hopefully bros other ACL ruptures.
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.
Bruh I been refreshing for ur video lol
honestly, that's not enough for Lauri. He was just MIP while averaging 25 ppg on nearly 50/40/90 splits
No way 2 first rounders, more like 4-5 first rounders knowing Danny.
Meanwhile GSW and Clippers are the whole reason the new CBA was made in the first place. Nevermind the fact that when Steph was out for a couple games in the beginning of the season they were tanking in rank. These players make so much money hand over fist that the only thing that drives them anymore is their ego. Because aint no way they dont understand how cap space works after all this time.
Warriors could have drafted Anthony Edwards. Smh
Damn I'm early love your videos AMhoops!!
I am sad that Klay left despite his decline.
They did Klay dirty? They paid him over $40 million over two years where he didn’t play at all and then he wasn’t the same player when he did come back. They were MORE than accommodating
Yes paying him over $70 million dollars for sitting 2 seasons because of injury is indeed “doing him dirty.”
This is a game of musical chairs and Klay is mad when the music stopped, he was the only one standing.
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
Naw, that’s not enough for Lauri. It’s going to end up being Kuminga, Moody, and 4 FRP after what Mikal Bridges got the Nets.
Kuminga is only 21 years old. Let's give him at least 4 more years before we decide who he is as a basketball player.
"Too much..." shoot, this is Ainge, that's not enough😅
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
ty for uploading
Warriors gave him a max deal after he tore his ACL. Dude got paid 2 and a half years for free and he isnt even the same player.
The only mistake the Warriors made was giving him that max. He should have took a paycut just based on that action alone
This isnt about revenge or Klay needing to "feel important." He simply wants to win another title. The Mavs gave him the best chance to do that. Its as simple as that...
Dawg Klay did the Warriors dirty in the play in, the fuck were they supposed to do? Give him a max like he isn’t a greatly diminished version of what he used to be?
They paid him crazy $ for two years while he was hurt, and he’s been overpaid since he’s been back. He got 4 rings and has a great legacy, I don’t want to hear him complain
