Subtracting Klay and CP3 and adding Melton, Anderson, and Hield definitely makes us better. Melton and Anderson make us miles better defensively

[@gamerf2p843]

Can somebody fix the lighting on the third guy? Out here looking like a locked character.

[@stevenshore6640]

I watched Klay last year some of the time standing around and watching the game go by.

[@bodies_by_corpus]

We weren’t going anywhere running it back with CP and Klay. I’d rather have us take some chances with change vs being sentimental. Both sides benefitted.

When you try to sell yourself on Buddy Heild you know your team is cooked 😂

[@bodies_by_corpus]

We were cooked with CP3 and Klay, might as well try something different

[@ninerempire3398]

Buddy hield in this system is a good fit chief. Nobody is saying he’s a star or will save the warriors, but he fits the system and is an elite shooter.

[@objdadon]

@@bodies_by_corpus good luck

[@HKim0072]

Teams still respected Klay and had to play defense on him. Klay knew the offensive / defensive sets.
And, that’s the positives. Klay was a pretty average wing player last year.

[@HappyAstronomicalModel-lr5we]

Klay was out for two years and received an extension from the Warriors when they knew he couldn't play. Then he begrudges the young man who filled in for him while him while he was out and helped the team win enough regular season games to make the playoffs from getting paid.
Klay didn't come back until January 2022 and his contract was not set to expire for another two years whereas Poole's was expiring in 2022.
The ego of it all.
This is exactly why this happened to you Klay. You were paid handsomely even when you didn't play and you deserved it. However to think that JP shouldn't have received an extension before you is just selfish.
Seed, Time and Harvest Klay. You sowed ugly seeds and that is what life gave you back.

[@marcusgarvey6231]

We had to get better w Klay last year. Remember? Klay’s back ups helped us win enough games to play in. BP Santos and Quinones.

[@9FINGA]

Well, we definitely weren't getting a happy klay so yes

[@ninerempire3398]

Yea, his shooting was streaky, his defense was bad all while making 43 mill , and his vibes were off

[@Greenhornet204]

And his money was discussed @moneygreen 🤦

[@EshockT]

Talking about Buddy?

[@ninerempire3398]

@@EshockT is buddy gonna be a 43 million dollar player throwing tantrums on the sidelines and sulking because he got benched for playing bad ? I’m fine with a player like that if he doesn’t have a bad attitude and doesn’t get mad because he’s coming off the bench and is at a much cheaper price. We all appreciate klay and what he did, but it’s ok to be real with his situation this year

[@Greenhornet204]

@@ninerempire3398 who cares what you’re ’fine with’ and u AINT my buddy 🤡

[@jdagreat4595]

Did we officially get buddy or no

[@jorgenarez9166]

not yet no

[@t.p.8876]

NOoooooooooooo

[@RnBLegacies]

So far yup.. now trade kuminga get Lauri

[@Newportnews98]

Lauri is overrated defensively and has only played 55 games in the last 3 seasons
