imagine getting paid a max and not playing 2,5 half years and the other 2,5 years playing like a minimum player and still thinking you deserve more money 😀

@@denigster funny that you casuals have no issues with scottie barnes signing for 250M off pure potential despite there is a higher chance of him never being a top 20 player in the league but Klay Thompson who has actually been a top 20 player and left everything out there on the court for his franchise ruins your day just because he wants a "measly" 100M dollar contract like Draymond Green....lol

Draymond is number 1, but Klay and Wiggins falling off while being paid the max didn't help.

@@shorewall dont' forget poole. What a disaster class by warriors management. Paying poole and wiggins the max and not paying klay is insane

I wonder how much Steph had to do with these contracts? You’d think he would have to at least be informed and listened to about making those deals. If he agreed, I think it makes him partially liable for the mistakes. Steph is a one in a billion talent, and appears to be an amazing human being

Underrated comment.

I thought the same.

I hate Draymond, but he can still play basketball.

That's not what happened

they actually were gonna pay him. not the money he wanted but the deciding factor was coming off the bench. I dont blame him for telling GS to kick rocks. Come off the bench for guys that arent cornerstone or transcendent players? It would be different if Bob Myers actually was decent at drafting and took Lamelo Ball or Tyrese Haliburton or Maxey....You want klay to come off the bench for Moses Moody or Brandon Podzemski? LMFAO gtfoh

I mean he took 16 a year so I don't think it's really about the money, seems personal

@@HookedonChronics He made it personal. If I was on that team, I would have hated having to deal with his ego compared to his ability.

@@shorewall fair enough, just saying it wasn't a money thing, he seems like he wanna prove something beyond that. Them giving Dray and Poole big contracts prolly made him feel a certain way. He a sensitive dude.

@@shorewall nah warriors made it personal by paying dudes like poole and wiggins before klay lol what a fkin joke

this is bullshit... klay was great in championship season... he was also very good in the first half of 22/23,this false narrative has to stop

Tobias Harris was worse than mid and got 22 a year. He took 16 a year the money clearly wasn't the issue.

@@gabriel-uc1uz Klay is a bench guy now.

@@shorewall Still better than alot of starters.

yes klay made close to 70 mil when he wasn't playing, because he got injured while playing for the warriors in the finals, and his contract was fully guaranteed, like the vast majority of contracts in the nba. How is that his fault exactly? And sure this past year he was mid, but the warriors gonna be mid without him anyway lmao. Their ownership aint trying to pay luxury tax. They made no real moves, and they won't make any real moves. And who knows steph himself might be mid next season too with all that running and long range bombing he's been doing for the last 15 years. His decline has begun but the warriors are blind thinking he can still carry a mid squad to the playoffs.

Warriors also won 4 titles. They don’t do that without Klay Thompson.

😂

They gave Poole a bag, also gave Dray his $$$ despite the increasing antics. But it’s also clear money wasn’t the only issue because the 2yr/$48m the Warriors offered is more money per year than the 3yr/$50m Klay is getting with Dallas, even when you account for Texas not having state taxes.

Klay got paid the last 4 years

@@JRMason-ri4ii True but this was explained pretty well by Bill in his podcast with Wildes. You're more likely to be offended by an offer when you've built up equity at a place. You're more likely to take that same deal with another place that isn't emotionally tied to you or that you have done nothing for. It's very true outside of sports too. If I were to ask my boss for a raise and he offered basically the same as another place, I may just leave because a place that doesn't even know me is willing to give me the same deal. I'm not saying it's right, but it's just human to be like that.

Warriors still paid him even after tearing his ACL and missing time.

Unfortunately I doubt this iteration of the Warriors is winning a chip anymore. Curry and Draymond will retire that way. With that being said, Warriors should've handled Klay better, if for no other reason, to keep him as a Warrior to retire and save face.

Maybe a late upload?

Says no one except folks like you and people on social media

and even then he was never worth a max

The problem is your mind is still in 2017 and think that him wanting 20M a year is an overpay when its not. New TV deal and rising salary cap. 20M will be the MLE within 2 years....get a clue

He has 2 Rings already so he is maximizing his pay. The nuggets didn’t want to go over the second apron. It’s that simple

@@Shortballa11 What kind of psycho would leave a job they love and pull their kids out of school, move their family (to Florida of all places) for a 10% raise? That doesn't even make sense. The offer had to be like $64 over 4 years. If it's close why wouldn't you just stay? For PG it was $50+ million guaranteed. I get that. But a couple million when you've made that much? What are you buying with $175m that you can't with $170m?

​@@michaelahurtIt's not like Orlando sucks. They're a good team. Denver has always been cheap.

@@michaelahurt it’s more than a 10% raise cuz Florida has no state tax. And it’s the kinda Psycho that cares a lot about retirement. He not making 100mil. Every mil matters. It’s very simple. Ppl have left for less

@@Shortballa11 He literally has made over $100 million

Cali state championship ain't what it used to be

They could, they improved this off-season and have a more experienced roster, an actual camp with PJ and Gafford, an improving Lively, and hopefully a healthier Luka. Just hope Boston don't make it out the East really, they can beat everyone else

You don't know wtf can happen....mfs always talking out they ass ...

@@coreyhiggins6890 I know the Mavs won’t win a title

Idk man, when Klay gets hot, there’s nothing you can do to stop him. Him and Steph are the only two guys I know that can seriously go nuclear for a quarter and win you a game. Klay may not move like he used to, but he’s still an elite shooter.

@@THE_BEAR_JEWfacts

Obviously not about $. He just wants to contribute to a contender and as much as I dislike Dallas he made the right choice
