No , he got paid before the 2nd injury. No one is at fault when he gets injured after signing. They resigned pool,draymond,curry,kerr….. draymond is the reason why they didnt make the playoffs. The warriors shouldnt have even been in the play ins. Draymond got suspended 2 times last year……….
You acting like he didn’t deserve it warriors aren’t winning. Four titles with out Klay he was guarding the other teams best perimeter player. While Steph is hiding in the corner Klay was a legit two way.
@@burnedpotato4374 they were not in the playoffs because draymond was not playing. Yes u can point out the suspensions and ejections but when draymond plays he is very valuable to the team, klay was available but very inconsistent and its not like warriors traded him when he was injured or came of the injury, they gave him 2 and half seasons get back to being consistent atleast.
Lol I hear ya, but it’s it that deep. Steph is the leader of the team, he and Klay arguably are the greatest back court ever, and they won 4 rings together. So of course media and fans want to know has Steph talked to Coach Kerr or upper management. Obviously he’s not Klay’s agent and Klay’s a grown man, but it’s natural for media and fans to wonder what the leader of any team is doing or saying to management when a key player is possibly leaving.
@@daweeza42 but that literally doesn’t matter😭 curry can’t change anything to make klay stay. let curry have a season like klay did and warriors will look to trade him too lmao. i guess we needed to hear what curry had to say when draymond was going through his phases last season too since that what the media was asking.
@daweeza42 I mean curry said in the interview after they lost the play in we need klay I want him back so did Kerr and dray this is upper management and decision and that's just the business side of it
@@smartino546 all they are saying is Steph hasn’t said anything via social media or through the media. I’m not saying he should or shouldn’t. I’m just saying that’s what some media will definitely say and wonder.
Klay-s last contract was $189.9M for 5 yrs. He didnt play for 2 seasons, the first 2 yrs of that contract. They offered him $48M for 2 yrs last off season but he rejected that. I'm one of his true supporters. But the Dubs didn't do him wrong like these clowns are trying to start that bogus narrative just to have something to talk about.
When Perk speaks, just take the opposite side even if you don't know anything about the subject and you will likely be right. Perk and Nick Wrong should join forces and create a show called: "what's wrong is Wright"
That wasn’t enough Tyrese Maxey just got 204 million as a 3rd option. Derrick White & Jrue Holiday only won 1 chip and got more than Klay as a 4th & 5th option. Cut it out
@@NBADRACO23 What do all of those guys have in common? They've been healthy. Jrue, DWhite and Maxey haven't missed significant time due to injuries. Klay has played 2 full seasons in the last 4 years. He wasn't going to get that kind of money as an injury risk.
I agreed with Perk until Shannon brought up the contract that Klay turned down. A team-friendly deal that allows you to still shine in your role? I’m taking that in a heartbeat
Warriors have been super patient with Klay. Dude got paid handsomely while he sat out. When he came back they continued to stay patient while he struggles finding his shots.
@@hernanrio9149 he already had 40 million a year while he was inconsistent with his shooting and poor shot selection, and you think the front office is gonna gamble for paying that much without the guarantee of his performance.
@@mysteriousoverpoweredbaldg9284He was still shooting nearly 40 percent from 3. Definitely overpaid, but I think a lot of his play drop off has to do with people comparing him to his old self. When you compare him to other distance shooters around the league, he is still elite. End of day Warriors messed up giving Wiggins that unfavourable contract.
@@27Lozc ultimately, he did to himself betting that he could still do it. Game 6 against the Lakers and the Play-In against Sac was the ultimatum of his career in Warriors Jersey
😂😂😂 Shannon might as well had started this conversation saying "Perk you big dummy!" but it's really no surprise because Perk been a Warriors hater ever since he played for the Cavs... excuse me I mean rode the Cavs bench, with his big ogre looking self.
@@zaynoncrack4502 man stop that shi. He’s the one who keeps getting suspended yet they still paid him. They were out the playoffs with him or without em
"We already paid you for what you meant" is a great line by Shannon. This isn't a charity; you're already making hundreds of millions for playing basketball, and some seasons, not even doing that. Now Klay wants handouts worth millions for what?? Get outta here with that nonsense.
@@MiamiU4 they really should have just traded that pick tbh. Any other team would have loved to draft lamelo there, but gsw were too stubborn and stuck on this two timeline fantasy
Shannon is definitely right and he threw Stephen A Smith contract situation into the mix, nice Shay! Stephen talking about yes Klay is worth 25 million. He talking about himself 😂
@jamessanders5020 so Shannon after he said Lakers made the right draft move? Meanwhile everyone else said he ruined the Lakers trying to make himself look good
Not at all. They were offering the contract before the season even started. Wasn’t based on the bad season, the disrespect happened before. They also changed their offense which didn’t suit Klay.
@@HisRoyalFreshness163 does steph deserves his? cause he statistically had one his worse seasons of his career yet klay is made out to be the scapegoat of all the warriors problems. Like draymond didnt punch poole or when they traded poole for cp3 just to waive cp3 a year later or how about them failing to address their big man problem. Warriors are acting like they are going to get someone better than klay at FA they are not.
@@mlg2781 did you read what he said?? how on gods green earth is having 2 chips IN THE NBA W TWO DIFFERENT TEAMS and consistently being pound for pound one of the best defensive players in the entire league no impressive what kind of rock are you smoking big dog?
@@mlg2781the third or fourth option is only on the offensive side. He’s defending the best players on the other team night in night out. And he is capable of being the top scorer on any given night
Only Klank would think that's an insult...AFTER the Warriors paid him over $80 million to rehab for TWO years. Klank did the Warriors dirty and karma will come back at him.
The guys literally choose to have 50 M in 3 years despite 48M for 2 years? How can u say that they did him wrong. He literally turned down a 24 M / per year at the beginning of the year telling us he gonna show him that he deserves more . Did what he did all the season, not to mention that terrible game against Sacramento to end things all that for finally get a 12.5M per year . He baited, and he lost as simple as that. Trust me, he must feel stupid declining that 24M / year now .
Time will tell. I was thought I was #1 in my field of work...I wasn't. I realized that I'm a strong 2. And there's nothing wrong with that. Life will humble you in ways you couldn't imagine. It's a fresh start, for all parties involved. The NBA season is looking good already
@@1800fedup Yep he would have eventually got to the next level. They don't give athletes enough time to develop. It takes at least 2-4 years for most athletes to come into the league and take off.
Great take by Shannon. Gonna miss Klay big time, but he was paid very well for what he got, and passed on a big contract offer by the Warriors. One day he'll have his # retired by the Warriors, and get a big statue out front of the Warriors stadium. Til then I will miss seeing the other half of the Splash Brothers.
the warriors have been taking care of klay for almost his whole career, paying him after his injury and paying him after his worst season stats wise and all we are asking klay to do is take a paycut so we can add some for peices to help out the squad around curry and we offered him 2 years 48 mil and he declined, yall are making it seem like the warriors are not treating klay right or something😂😂😂
@@christopherwarburton1889Facts cus I can't believe that some other people are commenting that the gsw did Klay wrong. Because Shannon was all the way right on his view about this situation cus Klay got paid 40 million per year for two years and didn't play a single game when he got injured and you mean to tell me an organization does that for you with no complaints then you turn around an have your worst season ever during a contract year an you still expected the gsw to pay you 35 million per year but turn around an take a 3 year deal for 50 million when the gsw basically offered him the same deal in 2 years 48 million cus the only difference is that extra year that Dallas gave him.
@@christopherwarburton1889 Yeah paid him 40 million a year just to rehab and he talking about they owe him for what he did in the past and that's not how business works. Because businesses pay you for what you can do for them and what you may potentially do for them in the future and the gsw saw Klay was not the same player who could do the same things he once did at a high level an they still offered him 24 million a year cus Klay was acting like some entitled female thinking he deserved 35 million a year just cus he help win championships in the past smh.
Gsw will never win again with out him. I bet you that. Klay probably play just as much games as draymond get suspended every few games. If it wasn't for him acting stupid gsw would have 6 championships
He thinks he deserves that Kobe lifetime achievement farewell contract, but he isn’t THAT guy. You can give that to Steph, but I don’t think even Klay is in that same category.
@@phatch5444 all of klays career highlights came in that offense. 15 three pointers in a game, 60 points in 29 minutes, 37 point quarter, how is the offense tailored to make him look bad?
Glad GSW let Klay go. I would have liked him to stay, but he was asking for way too much for so little performance, he's clearly not close to the player he was, and they even gave him a max deal AFTER his devestating injury.
Klay need to know he ain’t worth it bruh.. he not Kobe to lakers! He now Steph to the Warriors! He was awesome but he has declined drastically for that system! Unc right! They paid you bruh and he bet on himself and it did not work out
No disrespect here. He was paid for what he did for the Warriors. Will Clay give some of his pay back when his performance doesn’t match his salary? Nope
Na but they let me come to work the next day . Im saying klay is a legend . Dont just let your legend walk out the door . I really belive its his mental. He wants to leave golden state so it must be something in his mind , its a reason he feels like he is wronged and he is playing like he is wronged
@@williamparker3328he didn’t have good days and bad days. He had a bad season. And it wasn’t even that he played bad, he just didn’t play good enough to be deserving a max contract. U gotta earn what u make in ur job
Fans don’t appreciate how special players and situations are until it’s over. We gotta stop the hating and give there guys their roses especially if it was earned, and Klay earned everything he has and showed how valuable he was to GSW.
I agree with Shannon. GSW stood by Klay after he got injured - signed him to the highest contract they could - paid him for two years when he didn’t play. I actually expected Klay to sign with the Warriors for a little less money. I don’t blame him for going somewhere else and getting more - but GSW haven’t wronged him.
Klay is the only warriors core player that has never taken a paycut. Steph was underpaid and didnt complain, iggy took paycuts, dray took paycuts. Even kd took paycuts. Klay has always been selfcentered and greedy. It was time for him to take a paycut and he refused. Let him go to dallas and when they lose they will blame him
Dynasties never end clean. Lakers (both Showtime and the Shaq/Kobe team), Bulls, Heat, Celtics, none end on a happy note. It sucks, but they probably should have moved on from Klay about a year ago. Klay is gonna be hurt, but give it a few years when it's retirement time, that bridge will get rebuilt.
Spurs are probably the exception if you don’t consider Kawhi’s exit as part of it as he was only there for 1 championship & was young. Duncan, Parker, & Manu all left on great notes with the Spurs.
@tribbo2703: Draymond has been the better player since Klay’s injury & he plays a more unique role for GSW, Draymond does all the little things. GSW made a conscious decision to choose Draymond over Jordan Poole essentially, Klay was just the odd man out.
Shannon seems to be the only analyst that has their mind straight in this situation. Everyone blaming the Warriors when they have not wronged this man at all, they paid him through hardship and injury.
Klay has the type of personality that is hard to move forward with as his skills begin to decline. I've seen post-game interviews when he had a bad game and he was arrogant, did not take accountability, and had surly responses. When he would lose games, he threw up his 4 rings taunt. To me, that's like saying, "Hey, look what I did in the past. We may suck right now, but you don't have 4 championships." A competitive person who still believes in what they can accomplish...won't rest on past accomplishments. They will still compete with the fervor that hey can win...they still believe.
Yup, Klay was salty about his contract, and his playing time. I'm sure that he was unpleasant to be around on a daily basis throughout the past year, and he was terribly inconsistent.
Shannon is exactly right. They paid Klay Thompson good money when he was playing good ball. DID THE WARRIORS TAKE ANY MONEY BACK WHEN THOMPSON PLAYED TWO GAMES IN TEN YEARS.
i'm not sure i get where perk was going at 2:25. he's saying klay's mind wasn't in the right place to play...how does that support his argument that klay is being wronged by the warriors?? i'll always appreciate his past successes, but if he wants to still be appreciated in today's nba, he needs to get his head back in the game, regardless of who he's playing for.
@@calmdownbruh8518 his ability is still there maybe they’re right and a change of scenery later in his career is what he wants he showcased the talent. Now it’s time for him to show his motivation in a new city
🏆🏆🏆Klay Thompson is a true Classy “GOAT”, he will be missed forever, sad sad day for San Francisco, losing a SF Family member hurts.😢 Love you Klay.😭😢😰❤️❤️❤️
Wronged?? Did y'all forget Warriors still payed him when he's out of his injuries for 2 years. They payed him 60+ mil being injured. And they also offered 2 years 48 mil while Klay accepted the 3 yrs 50 mil, there people are clowns lmao. And why y'all asking where is Steph? Y'all really want steph to baby sit those grown men? 😂😂
Klay Thompson is a shell of the player he once was....Unfortunately while his talent shrunk...his ego did not....I think the Warriors did their best to keep him....he had a rough season....but a max contract was not deserved.....the only thing that sucks is if the Warriors don't find adequate support to help steph get ring #5
It was clear as day if you weren’t a delusional warriors fan, Curry simply can’t get them over the hump, Kay was pretty much done, Draymond was never going back to that 2016 finals version, no star would want to play there.
Now these people clowning Steph again? I didn't see LeBron or KD become the leaders of their team like that since both guys are team hopping. When Kyrie leave the Cavs in 2017, there's no questions about Bron's leadership and Kai got all the hate. Now y'all asking Steph's leadership? 😂 We doesn't even know what's happening behind the cameras lol
Underperformed? He helped them win a championship in 2022. Coming off a injury …. What are you talking about? He avg 18pts this year coming off the bench. So many teams would love to have a scorer like klay. Casuals smh
@@Jdcjr1991 explain how Klay under perform..U think it is easy .. running around for the entire game as a decoy for steph to get a shot..and then playing defense on the opponents best player..that is what klay have been doing..Klay wasnt the reason they didnt make the playoff.. that was all DRaymond not being present and missing 20 games for BS..if he had played those games..different story.. they wouldnt hve even been in the playin to begin with..
Everybody knows they disrepected Klay compared to the way they hallowed Draymond! It was time for Klay to move on! However, the Warriors are not the team people thought they were in terms of living up to the true meaning of being a championship NBA team and a first class NBA franchise! They destroyed their image by the way they hallowed Draymond and disrespected Jordan Poole and Klay Thompson. They still don't realize it! I don't see future premiere young NBA players wanting to go play for the warriors anymore like they did in the past! I also don't see Draymond getting high marks for his team leadership ability other than by Steph and Coach Kerr!
Whats wrong is no one is seeing where Steph is at in the head. That’s his splash brother. He knows he can’t do it without him period. Their about to lose Steph and I know 2 perfect places for him too. Spurs with Wemby and Chris Paul. Lakers also and I’m originally from the Bay Area in Oakland. Just like I had to handle change being away from the West Coast and living in East Coast now. Change is coming, Steph isn’t just about money, he want a chip unless Durant goes back. Hmmmm. Draymond ain’t doing for them.
I dont get this !! Klay was making $35M to $40M per year for like the last 5 years with GS ...leaving that to go to Dallas for $16M a year...$43M last year with GS...Klay took an $80M PAYCUT!
He's come right out and said it multiples times that's why he's happy Pat McAfee and everyone is getting their money because they are setting the market for him when it's time for his deal.
And Clay didn't get much more with Dallas. So...the market spoke and he's worth what he's worth. Once you have major injuries you're a big gamble as an athlete.
Both are right !! Perk - " It's a Business " !! Shannon- " And they paid him for it " !! I hate to see him go but some things unfortunately have to come to an end !! I'll wait for the " Smoke" to clear and see what happens. ✌️
Klay got the same amount of things in less time than lebron . curry with 2 BUSTED ANKLES has the same amount of rings as bron . Draymond who “ does nothing l has the same amount of rings as bron .. all with one team . why ? cuss they didn’t care about money , the narrative of theme selves or padded stats . 20+ years in the league , 10 finals , highest iq player in the game and what we call “ greatness “ is equal with these three just with extra padded stats and worthless personal records .. don’t let that go over your head . almost forgot draftee not bought other than kd . bron got two top ten picks in his own class to win his first .. 🤣
I think this is a good move for the warriors and klay in general. I think Klay can't play the third option while being at Golden state if they can't find a decent 2nd option. Being the 3rd or 4th on the Mavericks might just revitalize Klays game, especially with some of the scoring pressure lifted off his shoulders. It's sad to see him go and he will be missed, but i think he can go clear his mind and game somewhere else; it might be better for him in the long run.
How it look bad on the warriors i don’t care who you are if you go 0-10 or whatever it was your not getting a 100 million plus contract and they paid Klay while he was injured almost for 3 years they could’ve of traded him to another team but no they kept him the warriors wasn’t wrong they was loyal to me.
choked the lead game 6 klay still lives rent free in your head besides that dame killed & destroyed your whole franchise and send them to rebuild with one shot💀
Keeping Klay for 3 more years will be a repeat of last year of inconsistent shooting, hunting for his shots and lousy defense. He’s not getting younger or better.
@@howarddickersonjr.6994 all dynasties come to an end. Spurs died and Kawhi left. Even Tony Parker left for Charlotte his last year. Shaq left the Lakers. Wade left Miami. Even Lebron left Cleveland twice.
The Warriors are hurting the last few, and next few, years because they paidnDraymond and Klay because of loyalty rather than wanting to better the team. They got that 4th title but are stuck in obscurity because they didnt want to make a move
