Dub Nation has its eyes on Klay Thompson as his free agency looms but one particular move has got some fans on edge. abc7ne.ws/3VETodo #klaythompson #warriors #nba #sports #abc7news
Klay’s gone. Warriors made a huge mistake. They should’ve dumped Draymond years ago before he destroyed the Warriors culture. Golden State could’ve had Durant and Curry in the backcourt with Klay extending his career coming in as a 6th man. Instead, they allowed Dray to run off KD and a young Poole, and prematurely end the Warriors dynasty.
@@dangerzone3470 that’s what some people say - that KD would’ve left anyway and that’s what he’s said on some podcast, but I think Dray’s toxic attitude towards his teammates really affected him and Poole. Poole isn’t the same player as he was in GS, but he had a bright future and maybe he needed to play off of Steph. Oh well. He didn’t deserve to be punched out and then made into the scapegoat.
@@AJXOXO-vz1pn KD was a goner regardless it was Steph’s team and he wanted his own and hated Bay Area media. If Poole was that good he’d be averaging 30 in DC but he came off the bench and averaged 17… he deserves all the credit for our 22 run but money and fame got to his head.. not Draymonds fault. Draymond does do some shit that makes me mad too but there’s a good reason Steph keeps him on the team. Some of the greatest winners are a$$holes look at MJ and Kobe
@@dangerzone3470 I don’t think KD or Poole would be gone if not for Draymond. Poole was one of the best up-and-coming players before he got punched out. It’s true, he hasn’t had the success in DC that he had in GS. It doesn’t mean that he wouldn’t be any good had he stayed in GS. He played better as the 2nd or 3rd option. Warriors should’ve dumped Draymond before anybody else.
@@Sam-oo6wy We will cheer Klay whenever we play him. But we cant sacrifice another year for the past. Its also best for Klay to go somewhere else, it will be less stressful because he wont be called out for being a shadow of himself.(as often)
@@Sam-oo6wyhe dropped triple digit in a knockout play in game 0/10 in 32 mins. Now the warriors will be better after Klay leaving they just have to get rid of the heaviest excess baggage clown of all time dirty Draymond Green. These has been very heavy for Steph carrying these excess baggages.
This dude brought yall 5 straight finals and 4 titles. You all quickly forget who took them lashes for you dont ya. Through thick and thin mfrs.. Maybe he dont deserve a max contract but he dam sure deserves to be on the roster either starter or 6 man depending on how the wind blows and the other players we got/get.
Of course loyalty is important, but at the same time it's a business. Everyone knows an athlete has a shelf life. Players also have to show loyalty to the team and step aside gracefully when it's time.
so has draymond. yet they gave draymond the extension he wanted. it's absolutely disrespectful to not give klay an offer that at least matches draymond's, in terms of $ and yr. they gave draymond 4yrs last summer but offered klay 2yrs, that's bs.
@@naranja1972 we dont depend on draymond to give us points, he has other qualities we need. klay was dead weight not scoring at all not helping curry at all
You're a typical example of one ungrateful bastard.....your quickly to forget 4rings a dynasty built....so you only love you him when he's healthy...but when he's struggling you fool you forget all that...your not even a warriors fan...you really don't care about him even a second.
I appreciate this guy. Having 4rings while others have not, I think it's enough to stay with the GS until he retires. I admire spurs in keeping old players till they retire.
Said the teacher that wants more money but whose union demands no ongoing testing for teacher's actual ability to teach. We're just supposed to keep vomiting money for dumber more indoctrinated children.
Only if they start holding themselves to higher standards, I work for my local school district and it's an absolutely vile establishment. They sit around and talk shit about students, parents and other teachers behind closed doors, then smile in everyone's face. I brought up that teachers were making fun of a student and criticizing his parents because he peed his pants in class and I was the one who got in trouble because I wasn't in the union yet. It's the only job I've ever worked where misconduct doesn't get you fired, just transferred.
You don’t get how money works. People pay hundreds of dollars everyday for athletes to entertain us. Then they sell us the jerseys, the apparel and triple the prices of snacks at the arena. With other countries now starting to buy into American sports their value grows even more. They are paid like this because as a whole they generate this wealth. Our teachers don’t generate wealth, education comes at a fixed price and no one is willing to overpay what everyone else is paying.
Man that’s messed up. Did Klay let the lebron media talk him into leaving? Or is warriors GM this horrible, that he couldn’t keep the splash bros on their final contract?
Rebuild! All players including Curry included! It’s a business! They’re worth alot right now. C’mon baby. I can wait another 10+ years to see them* win again!
Love klay for what he did for the warriors. Warriors for life. Get a bag and go to a contending team and maybe get your 5th ring. Warriors aren’t going to be contenders anymore.
Why the are people saying for Klay to get a bag? If you're getting old and aren't producing, it's time to retire. Why would the Warriors give him a new contract?
He still helps you win and your team is better with him on the court. Come playoffs that man is cold blooded, he performs and doesn’t get the rookie jitters.
@@AR-rn8ok I guess you didn't watch klay in 2022 nba Finals, shot 35% fg or lakers series in 2023 and last year's play in. Dude scored 0 points in that game . He is not a max guy anymore, it's as simple as that
Klay, you have not played as much on 2 major injuries,i.e., knee & Achilles. Being paid during your rehabilitation. Give GSW a friendly, huge discount. Give #30 a break. SC got your back all day.
Klay will be exposed if he goes play with a smaller market team. He has been who he is because of Steph and the Warriors system. If he goes play with teams like Mavs, Lakers, Bucks, or Celtics, they can still use his decent shooting and above average defense. But in the end, he is way past his prime and teams would be stupid to offer him more than $7-8 millions.
Better dispose of Donkey Dray to the Wizards, He destroyed the team's chemistry if only steph was a bit more vocal on his antics, draymond ruined warrior's 5th ring.
Respect to who. He owes the warriors his career. They stuck with him even when he was injured and still gave him a contract. Horrible move by klay, nobody will love him the same as the warriors and people like me, who keep with him even though he had a bad game.
Itz so pathetic how these Warrior "fans" only remember Klay going 0-10 in A play in game and not contributing to 4 rings SMDH I said as soon as the Warriors game Green $100 Million they werent winning another ring and honestly I wouldnt be mad if Klay goes in free agency
Ole Constipation Face will get a BIG dose of reality without Steph. Yes he at times is a great "catch and shoot" guard, yet is already losing his limited ability to get his own shots. Hilarious he thought he should have been one of the NBA's 50 greatest. He's not even in the top 100.
Nah this man was an integral part of what they’ve built in the bay…I thought keeping the core together as long as possible would be top priority…but if Klay wants his bag then so be it ig 🤷♂️
Players have ups and downs throughout their careers especially after two career ending injuries ,at the end of the day you know his mental struggle of the recovery journey is one we can’t understand yeah he’s an athlete paid millions but the mind is everyone’s toughest opponent
I hope they don't pay him another dime. He's gotten so petty. Dude seriously asking for top dollars after that horrible performance. They paid him for 5 years in his last contract and he only played 54% of the games.
@@lastshadowman exactly. Draymond is the real reason why the Warriors dynasty took a premature nosedive. Curry could’ve had Durant in the back court with Klay as a 6th man. But nooo! Dray had to push KD and Poole out.
Disagree. Love Klay but he's a very streaky shooter, & he's no longer elite at it - just above league average. No longer able to defend. He'll be great on a young team looking for a champion experienced veteran, but that's it.
