Klay Thompson leaving Golden State Warriors is painful, but right choice | Draymond Green Show 

ironically this video is 30:11 long

You can hear the pain in draymond voice

My mom passed away from a terminal illness this past Dec. We had a strained relationship most of my life, at least until my Dad passed away and then she got sick. I share that bc some of my best memories with her were spent watching you 3 play and win 🏆 We watched every playoff game and championship together and she loved her some Steph, Klay and Dray 😏 Life has a way of throwing things at us when we least expect it and nothing joyful lasts forever. It was obvious Klay found NO joy on the court last season so as a fan I missed him long before now. He’s not been fully present in quite awhile. I wish him the best in Dallas. I know he’ll back to the Klay we’ve been missing - good for him/them and not so good for us Warriors 😂 I’ll always be grateful I got to witness sports history and I have you 3 to thank for that. God bless 🙏

yup, no one is touching klay when draymond is around. gobert found out.

Steph without Klay is gonna feel so weird man

What an era…a legendary trio. I hope all three of you close out your careers strong. Forever a fan.

I'm a Mavs fan, but I've been rooting for Klay to bounce back from these injuries since they happened. He looked so down and depressed these last couple of years. He felt slighted when he wasn't on the top 75. He'll never be the guy he was defensively, but he still brings a lot to the table. It's a great fit with Luka cause he's a catch and shoot guy.

There is one memory that I have of you and Klay is when you braced yourself, caught him and kept him from harm’s way during a game! The song that comes to mind when I recall this is…..He Ain’t Heavy, He’s My Brother by Donny Hathaway.😊

Being a Dubs fan my whole life, 45 years on this rock bruh. This was honestly tough to see, similarly to when I watched Mark McGwire play his last game as an Athletic. Truthfully felt a little emotional! My oldest daughter's favorite player too. I already know I can't even talk to her about it.

My whole family was hurt yall 3 really brought my family together I'll always be a warrior ❤️

Will be weird watch Klay with Mavs 🎽 one of the greatest to play the game 💪 thanks splash brothers for the good times 🏀

This is a sad time indeed for DubNation, Klay will always be apart of the family and we wish him well. Now it's time to add more fire power to the team and get us another ring in the Bay.

As a Warrior fan, of course this hurts, but it hurt me more to hear the mental struggles Klay has been experiencing the last few yrs. You can see that he wasn’t as carefree in the court as he had been in earlier years. Klay hinted at his departure during the podcast when he was asked about free agency, saying he had to prioritize his mental health. F entertainment, a persons well being is way more important. I love that Steph & Dray put Klay’s happiness over everything else; that’s love & respect. Sad that we live in a society where things like that are taken a back seat just for instant gratification.

The core is broken. Why did they let Klay go.

Everything comes to an end. I hope history never forgets how uncompetitive the NBA was during the Dubs run. I mean they were taking out 60+ win teams like it was clockwork. OKC was supposed to have 1, Spurs could’ve got another, the Rockets were the best team to never make it to the finals… but no titles for them under the Warriors dynasty. Bron supposed to have more than 4 rings right now, but he doesn’t. Steph, Klay, and Dray all terrorized the entire league for a decade. What a run.

I speak for all Warriors fans when I say we would have all rather seen Draymond go than Klay

I'm a bulls fan this reminds me when d rose 🌹 left I respect you big homie

The wildest thing how is this guy still on the team..

Whenever there's a dark cloud in the room, expect some light to shine after

Draymond low key the reason everyone left. No one gonna speak up against u big dawg. I’m sure some teammates afraid of you since JP

I listened to the whole podcast and it felt like someone died. As a warriors fan, it's actually like that. Need something really really strong to swing the mood around.

One teams trash is another teams treasure. Thank u Bay City. Lets Go Mavs!

Klay and Dray should have been splitting 30 mill a year if they want to compete

Klay will be missed

Thanks for doing this episode ❤

Respect to Killer Klay T. Big up!

13 years with someone around you and creating that strong of a bond. I don’t see how you can gather the thoughts to process it especially being a family man. You got no obligation too just cause of the “media personality” side of things. Take ya time my brother 🤞🏽

Draymond should have took less to help keep Klay. 4 yr/100 mil? Helping keep Klay should have been the priority.

Shame on the Golden States Organization for letting Klay go ! There is no loyalty after all he has done for the team I could not believe it

Klay's last offer a week before the agency to warrior's management was 40M/2yr and management just said "not yet"? Idk about this management you clearly disrespected klay

Nothing last forever just glad i got to witness greatness throughout the years

It should've been Draymond not Klay. Klay is the splash bro he and steph changed the game they both gotta stay together

That's 20 points a game y'all have to replace..That hits hard

We need another video just like this dray

Klay Thomson was my favorite player as a warrior. Curry is a gift from the God so many people around the world like him. No doubt curry is the best shooter in the world. Why I like klay is because he was a huge part of Curry's sucess. He also is very lucky he has curry as his team mate. Dub Nation will miss klay for sure. It is very hard to swallow in the thought of Klay Thompson not being a Warrior anymore. Thank you Klay for all that you did for Dub Nation we will all miss hope you have a wonderful time in Dallas.

why don't these clips get any views anymore??

No matter what you do, you need to enjoy it. Klay didn't seem to be happy so if that happens for him with the Mavs then good for him. Life seldom happens like we thought it would. The lesson is roll with punches, don't give up & be happy😊

I think a lot of people commenting on dis situation is a fan of the warriors and not the actual sport of basketball. I see people saying klay is more important than Dray. Not discrediting klay but yall have to understand Dray is the warriors floor general. Dray is da head of our defense. He’s the head of hustle for the team , da head of tenacity and physicality on both ends. They all 3 needed each other da same amount just in different ways. So cut it out with who’s more important.

You are there with them!

I’m a C’s fan and I’m glad we lost to a deserving and amazing team. A lot of doubters and odds were against you guys and y’all beat it. Well played and hopefully Klay is a good fit for the mavs but you guys were a dynasty together what a team you guys are 👏🏽.

You all are the reason I started watching basketball in 2011, I knew you all would rise up and win. This breaks my heart but now we can see Steph shine in a another way, at least that’s what I’m telling myself to remain positive lol

Dray I’m curious to know how you feel that most fans blame you for spoiling the dynasty Cause it is kinda true…. We all know that😅

So basically Pippen to Steph's MJ is leaving.

In the end this was Klay's decision, probably with the help of his agent, hope it was the right one buddy😌 He wasn't playing like he enjoyed the game anymore so a change was definitely needed, don't really think it was solely about the money😐

Yes it is bitter sweet. Nothing lasts forever. It is heart warming to know that their relationship is everlasting. It is what it is. We warriors fans now have to get accustomed to the new reality. We will always love Klay and hopefully he will end his playing days in the majesty and glory that he truly deserves. Those three humans deserve our respect and admiration.

lol Poole was the key to being able to win another one, made up for the lack of offense from everyone not named Steph in big moments. Kinda wish that video never came out 😕

Sad past few years for Oakland raiders josh Jacobs Klay and the A's fml

Please tell me the warriors are making more moves before the trade deadline!!!

I think its about money or not happy. He can't do what he do to warriors. Go warriors

Put it this way: In his last game -- when it was win or go home -- I scored as many points for GS as the guy they paid $500,000 for that game. If that didn't tell you Thompson was out the door, you weren't paying attention. He was ready for a change of scenery; guess we'll find out if the change of scenery is ready for him. My guess? Nope. But what do I know ... other than if someone pays you $500K per game, you probably should ... you know ... try.

Draymond pretends like he wasn’t a massive reason Klay is out of there

I'm trully sad for Klay GS did not treat him fairly Didn't Klay took a pay cut from his last contract signing?

They let Klay go when the let cash rain on Pool and Wiggins.

@draymond green: why did u punch jordan poole? why did u kick KD out? why are u hurting Curry's legacy? what is wrong with you? i thought u was his friend?😂

Dray. Thank you. That klay is Out. Thats On you

It always ends like this. You got 4 titles together. Changed the game. Klay needs a change. So do you guys. It always ends badly.

That's a sick shirt

Draymond gonna punch everyone now. He's like "fuck it."

Only listened bc I love Klay but LOL: I didn’t know if I trust Klay boat driving. There’s a lot of water in the ocean. Ha that was worth the click.

Y’all got buddy heild melton and Kyle Anderson so y’all should be good 🤷🏾‍♂️🤷🏾‍♂️🤷🏾‍♂️

Without bob Mayer gsw management sucks.

They already make millions of the court. If they really wanted to win they could make less a year or 2.

One question for Klay .. “Klay why r u leaving Steph n Dre”?? ALL YALL BEEN THRU.. r u trying to get a ring?? U got 4.. is it $?? u not broke.. why u leaving?? He supposed to FINISH w/them.. ion RESPECT that 💯

Kuminga will go off this year! mark my words.

Green should of been the one traded

13:33 I have to disagree Draymond. Depending on the bank/credit union. They do. 😹 I think it just depends on work environment and the personalities

Sad 😢

So we just gone breeze past the fact that Klay & draymond saw each other in Denver and didn’t speak???

Drake was right, Dray's pod is a "tough listen"

Wrong choice i would of kept klay and got rid of the problem draymon at least klay can avg 18 on a bad year dray gonna avg 6 or 7 points out best

Draymond’s ego is so out of control lmfao

Klay about to be on an all time run against his old team 😂😂not going lose 1 game

Klay just end the dynasty that they made for so many years..

right choice? idk about that, he got more money per year from gsw right? did he feel disrespected?

Klay Over Dray Anyday

Wish if you were a Mav, Draymond. Very underrated, a leader on the court. These haters dont understand basketball.

It’s the Ny Knicks fault

Yoooo bunny hield

30:11

The punch that ruined a dynasty…

Dare you. Green. No Problem stwph is thar

Your fault. You destroyed the dynasty

I feel it but the business side of it is a grown man ish

You punched your own teammate and they traded Jordan Poole. You got suspended for acting like a nut, and now yall trade Klay and you get to stay???? 🤨 It’s you who should’ve been let go.

i am from the Philippines and i always listen to @moneygreen. Im a big fan 🤛

Draymond retired yall

Klay had to go sadly but please don’t let them trade Kuminga that would be very short sighted

Even though i like you Dray and respect your intelligence, you set this all in motion with what you did and you know what im talkin about 🥊

Klay left because the warriors didn’t want him there anymore

Sry Mr. Green. You the next

Dray, you will forever be part of what I called, the 3 amigos. This separation is very sad. You may have always had their back, but they've got yours too. Remember the boat pick up? You mattered to Klay...BIG TIME.

He is a dynasty killer. Draymond we despise you. You cost us 2 rings.

🙃Kudos 🔥

Half way thru the season Dubs will receive PG13 and Embid in a trade for Wiggins, Kuminga and Draymond

Logic Flaws in Draymond Green's Speech 1. Lack of Clear Causality - Draymond mentions multiple factors that could have influenced Klay Thompson's decision to leave but does not provide a clear causal link. He states, "there's no true way to know" and "you just kind of take all those things into account," which indicates uncertainty and a lack of definitive reasoning. 2. Contradictory Statements - Draymond expresses conflicting views about the role of the contract in Klay's decision. He says, "I personally don't think it was that," but also acknowledges that it could have played a part, showing inconsistency in his argument. 3. Emotional Reasoning - Draymond's reasoning is heavily based on emotions rather than facts. He talks about the joy and sadness basketball brings to Klay, which, while important, does not provide a logical basis for Klay's decision to leave. 4. Overgeneralization - Draymond makes broad statements about the organization and its appreciation for Klay without specific evidence. He says, "I know this organization would have had Klay back as long as he wanted to be," which is an overgeneralization without concrete proof. 5. Lack of Focus - The speech is scattered and lacks a clear focus. Draymond himself admits, "I don't really even know where I was going with that point because my thoughts are all [ __ ] up," indicating a lack of coherent structure in his argument. 6. Anecdotal Evidence - Draymond relies on personal anecdotes and experiences, such as dinners and interactions with Klay, which do not provide a solid foundation for understanding the broader context of Klay's decision. 7. Incomplete Thoughts - Draymond frequently leaves thoughts incomplete, saying, "someday I'll have more thoughts on this," which suggests that his current analysis is not fully developed or thought through.

Paul George or klay didn’t wanna play with curry 🤣🤣 why tf they wanna play on a team who can’t make playoffs

How are you. Pls.

😭

All this cause of dray we lost kd and Poole cause of u men And now we don’t have second scorer cause of klay is gone damn
