They paid him $43M for each of the two seasons he missed and then offered him $48M for two years? I hope someone does me dirty like that!

they paid him 80 million to rehab. They did not "do him dirty"

Klay can’t be too mad at the warriors. His play declined and they already gave him a 5 year max in which he didn’t play 2.5 of those years. Still a messy breakup regardless.

This makes no sense. The Warriors gave him a 4 year max deal AFTER he broke his leg, then he tore his achilles keeping him out of the game for over 2.5 seasons. Even after he played below average to straight up terrible in both playoff runs, they still offered him a 2 year deal around $50M prior to last season, which he rejected. And that's before he had his worse season since 2014, then he had one of the worst games of his career.

This is GAS LIGHTING. The Wiggins deal, the jordan pool deal and the Dreymond deal all happened before the new Bargaining Agreement. Thr new CBA has basically made where owners dont want ro shovel out the money, so Wigs, Pool and Green getting paid has nothing to do with respect. Also lets address Klay, Klau was given a deal AFTER he got hurt for 5 years 190 mil. Didnt play for 2 of those years, meanwhile Dreymond had not been taken care if by the organization yet. So Klay feeling disrespected is rediculious.

They gave Klay a max for two years for absolutely nothing they didn’t do him dirty at all. They owed him nothing especially after he flamed out the past few postseasons.

Klay owed nothing to the Warriors and the Warriors owed nothing to him. They very obviously both wanted to part ways, Klay literally told Steph to NOT interfere with the process to keep him. This fake drama shit is so overplayed.

Failed him? He was the 12th highest paid player in the league on a contract he got when he couldn't walk

Paid him 80 million in 2 years to rehab. Yet they did him wrong 😂😂😂

This is a stupid take. He didn’t play for 2 years but still got paid $80 million. Last year, he went 0-10 in a must-win play-in game. I’m not following what GS did to do him wrong. The media’s really pushing this narrative hard, though.

Klay did the Warriors dirty shooting 0/10 🧱🧱🧱 in an elimination game.

Wait the Warriors failed Klay? You mean Klay failed the warriors...

I just showed Klay the song “Dupe - Mbappe”, and he said it will help him be motivated this season 🔥🔥🔥

The dubs gave Klay a max when he got injured and didn’t PLAY FOR TWO YEARS!! They offered him 2 years 48 MILLION and he turned it down to be a role player on the Mavs for 3 years 50 MILLION! Klay did the warriors dirty

with klay playing significant minutes with 0 pts in the most important game of their season, no one owes nobody.

Not going to bad mouth Klay as a Dubs fan, but if you know you know … organization is not to be blamed either. Myers left cause he knew what needed to be done and he did not have the balls to do it. Loyalty allowed him to leave on his terms. When what was best for the organization was to trade him at the deadline last year. He was respected

Bob Myers ran away from this, he also trolled KD during their championship parade that contributed to KD's insecurity within the Dubs. Warriors did the most logical thing to do given the circumstances of the new CBA. People act as if Klay didn't get paid handsomely despite getting injured 🤦

The f you talking about? He got 2 freaking major injury and warriors kept him. Guess you never really watched the games. His body language sucked hard after his injuries. Rushed shots a lot. Shot bad shots and then pouted when things didn't go well. He's not the patient, lock down Klay amymore.

He gonna be like KD. A ring chaser now

Bro forgot Klay sat out 2 years getting a shit ton of money. Klay was the dirty one here.

I'm not following. Klay got a serious injury and they gave him the max. Then he got another serious injury. He was out 2.5 years and wasn't pushed to return early. He wasn't the same player when he came back, and this season was one of his worst. He went 0-10 in an elimination game. They still were willing to offer him a contract after all of that. That's some loyalty on the organization's part, imo.

The only reason they drafted James Wiseman and not Lamelo is because they wanted to show respect to Klay Thompson and not getting another guard so they won’t make Klay feel like he is getting replaced.

Nah quite the opposite

Difference between Klay and Greene? Draymond on the court play proves he's worth 25 mil a season. Warriors willing to put with antics because he's a good compliment next to Steph. Only time their defense was any good was when he was on the court. Wiggins of court issues were unexpected. Poole may been worth the money, if Draymond didn't knock him out.

All I heard in this video is that Klay has a case of hurt feelings

Clickbait title. GSW also wasn’t happy with how he rehabbed his acl, when he tore his Achilles playing pickup ball.

Klay is that ex who talks behind your back long after you break up with him😂

It's crazy the only time people call Kyrie a bad defender is during the off-season when he's not on the court shutting people up

Klay turned down a bigger contract with the Warriors at the beginning of the yr, played like ass, then wants that same contract still on the table??🤔🤔

He wants to rub a championship ring in the warriors face and believes his best way of accomplishing it is with the current Mavs line-up.

As a die hard warriors fan, i feel so hurt that he left.

Why klay getting mad he played like shit vs kings

They already paid him star money through both the acl and Achilles, why tf does he want more while playing so ass

The Warriors paid Klay even after he got hurt...They did NOT do wrong by him...

Casey: Why would they pay everybody except Klay Also Casey: It's bad timing Question answered. Stop speculating about exactly who said what to who when and who's fault it is unless you actually have the information. The reality is that it doesn't make sense for the warriors to give Klay a massive contract right now, and saying they made mistakes in the past is true but not a reason to keep making them

Mavs fans are gonna me mad as hell when he starts chucking up 3s and ends up going 3/13 or something nasty like that. I love Klay but you’re supposed to get paid for what you’re doing, not what you did

Klay used to be a quiet humble guy.....that's not who he is anymore.

"La rarely loses free agents to Dallas", but now has happened two years in a row with Kyrie and Klay.

The end of an era😢

"warriors failed klay" clown hoops strikes again, 1 max contract while injured isnt enough

Klay is messed up. He got the max for very little in return. There is no need to throw tantrums after how much GSW paid him previously.

The biggest injury Klay suffered was his mental health. He went from low maintenance and fun loving to a head case who just could not accept what had happened to him or that he should change the way he played the game. He went from one of the best two way players in the game to an aging and slow shooter with no other skills to offer. Turns out some of the same things that made him great when he was super athletic and in his prime were the same things that made him almost impossible to keep on the court if you wanted to win a game. He has no chill when it comes to shot selection and as soon as he's off ball as a defender is a complete space cadet who just wanders around aimlessly with no idea what to do. He doesn't rebound, doesn't box out, doesn't hustle up and down the court. Even his shooting is more inconsistent than ever because his legs are gone if he plays more than 15 minutes or if he plays too many games in a week. He can't get the same space he used to only has to be slightly off balance for him to end up Klanking bricks. The best thing the Mavs can do is try and keep him to a spot up shooter playing 20 mins a game at most. But his ego and theirs won't let him.

It was Klay who did the warriors dirty, not the other way around.

You're a natural on camera, keep shining!

No way the Jazz take 2 picks with Kuminga and Moody for Lauri after what Mikal Bridges just got traded for.

Podz really was playing better than Klay tho lol dubs need to make some moves

Bro we gave him 200mil when he was injured for 2

If the Warriors paid Klay what he wanted this video would be about how dumb that was.

F these titles. Clickbait bs.

He wasn’t productive enough, a business move was made, got to learn to put those emotions to the side.

No they don't. Warriors help Klay when he need and know he want more? With this performances? No

I love the logic: The FO made a lot of mistakes before so they could add one more giving washed Thompson a 4-year max contract as he wanted. The GS are screwed anyway, they ain't a contender anymore and they're going to waste Curry's left Prime years

While negotiations with the Warriors reportedly stalled over the past couple of weeks leading up to the start of free agency, Thompson spoke to Curry and requested the star point guard not to pressure the Warriors front office into re-signing Thompson, The Athletic's Anthony Slater reported in a feature story on Monday. "It’s been a layered five-year path to this divorce, splintering last season, sprouting earlier and finalizing in the last couple weeks, where -among the conversations Thompson had, league sources said - was a request of Stephen Curry not to exert his significant organizational influence and up the temperature with management to ensure Thompson’s return," Slater wrote. "Curry’s measured voice, even if it altered the outcome, wouldn’t change the genuineness of Joe Lacob and the front office’s true desire to have Thompson back." It appears his wish was granted as the Warriors reportedly had very little communication with Thompson and his representatives over the past couple of weeks. And now Thompson is gone.

I haven’t watched the video yet, but if we are talking about money, the warriors didn’t do Klay dirty at all. In fact they did MORE for him especially when he was injured. Now, if we are talking about disrespecting Klay by not talking to him, then maybe the dubs did him dirty. After watching the video, I’ll come back and edit my comments if necessary.

Actually Klay did them dirty they paid him 80million to rehab, then he came back worst than ever and didn’t want a pay cut

Lively is definitely gonna be starting next season, with Gafford off the bench. I love Luka, and I want him all the career success in the world, but I hope Slovenia goes out of the Olympic qualifier early so he can get an actual offseason. That Slovenia team besides Luka is so awful that even if they somehow manage to qualify, they’re never gonna medal.

Lmao try Kuminga Moody and 4 firsts. No way Jazz trade for only 2 picks you’re high!

I don't think the Lakers big 3 were Magic, Kareem, and Coop. I think you left out Big Game James

Different management. Honestly Bob Myers shouldnt have overpaid klay on his last contract considering his injuries. He knew this was coming and get up outta there 😂

If Manu can be benched, why can't Klay?

Your brain is doing you dirty with this take. Basketball is not a charity and the Warriors already stood by him through TWO long injuries. They still offered him a deal. Talking about the bad moves the warriors have made over the past few years is all well and good with the benefit of hindsight but you were one of the people who were singing their praises when they drafted Wiseman and signed the other bums to crazy deals. Now you change your tune - after the fact.

Kuminga's third season was a promising step forward. Scoring went up to 16ppg & he maintained his efficiency. Maybe he'll be more motivated to improve & take another step forward with Klay out of the picture - Contract year for him - If he isn't feeling hurt about the front office trying to trade him. I don't mind the trade for Lauri. But, I think they should use this year to regroup. -See if Kuminga and younger guys take a leap. -Kind of wanted them to sign Covington for help on defense and still maybe have an effective small ball lineup. Even Melton is a decent/good. -Maybe tank & see if you can't get lucky in the draft lottery with next years loaded class. -Is Myles Turner a free agent come end of the season?

As a warriors fan, I will even trade Kuminga, Moody, 3 Firsts and 2 Pick Swaps for Markennen just to give Curry a shot in his last years in NBA and then spend TPE for either Bey, Miles Bridges, Tyus Jones

Anyone here in 2025?

You can’t seem to accept that they gave their big three a last run, instead of doing the smart thing and playing the younger guys. It wasn’t just Klay and Draymond that were problematic, but also Wiggins. All 3 couldn’t come through. But yes, management is a problem. Why even bother with Dominic DiVincenzo if you’re just gonna get rid of him

Damn I'm early love your videos AMhoops!!

I can’t lie the Warriors made the right decision

Your always so fast with all the great the content thank you so much keep up the good work!❤

Why did they fail Klay Klay got a max when he injured and he was good in their championship season but after that he was washed Klay should have been humble and took a pay cut

Watching the Dubs off the court is like watching the Kardashians. Filled with drama and filth, bad decisions that leave you asking, "why??? You guys are frickin nuts! And why do I even care???" You feel icky to admit that you enjoy watching it, but still, somehow at the end of the day they're one of the highest valued teams in the NBA.

Bruh I been refreshing for ur video lol

Your videos are great!

nice analysis bro, keep it up...

Great journalism mate Good vid this

Casey, Kuminga Averaged allstar numbers right after he called out Kerr for the minutes issue. Kerr cut his minutes again after in the later season and it costed the warriors a lot. Now you’re saying Kuminga isn’t worth to develop? Kuminga was averaging the same numbers as markannen after he called out Kerr. Your takes are horrible, the only reason you have views at this point is because of the other delusional fans. ESPN couldn’t even write takes as bad as this.

Honestly, if I was the Warriors. I wouldn’t want to paid Klay the max either 💀

I am a warriors fan and I am very happy we didn't get Paul George, didn't resign Klay, and waived CP3. Mike Dunleavy has done a great job as a GM so far. He quickly corrected the mistakes Bob Myers made, and the 2023 draft class looks like a home run so far. The warriors need to seriously develop the young players and having Klay around will do the opposite.

The Dubs could actually win a chip next year with Lauri. BUT. That would require 1) actually getting him. 2) Steph still playing at an MVP level in his late 30s. 3) Wiggins remembering how to play basketball. And 4) Draymond not punching anybody. So...actually, on second thought, we're screwed xD

Where do people get the right to the owner's money because of past performance? I hate the Warriors, but Klay is acting totally entitled. The only true complaint he has to me is that Warriors paid Mr. Triple Single so much.

Another Great Video Casey 🏀🫡🔥😤🎯💯

Great video a.m. hoops, luka doncic, kyrie irving and klay thompson in the same team, Wow

Klay definitely had to leave they disrespected him smh 🤦🏾‍♂️🤦🏾‍♂️🤦🏾‍♂️

paying him 100mil to take off 2.5 seasons off while injured doing him so dirty

I think part of the "lowball" is because the Warriors were told to shed salary by Lacob, and needing to stay under the 2nd apron, so they could actually make moves. They didn't do him dirty. They just showed him reality.

No way 2 first rounders, more like 4-5 first rounders knowing Danny.

Crazy how mavs fans go from "Klay went 0/10 from the field" to ''OMG WE GOT KLAY THOMPSON, WE LOVE YOU!!!''

Warriors: this is the best we can offer you based on your performance last season. Klay: no Warriors: why? Klay: *shows 4 fingers* This is pretty much how klay claps back to people saying he's washed.

Trade Tip: Wiggins + 2 2nd-round picks to Bulls for LaVine + 2 1st-round picks. Then ship ZL to Kings for 2 more 1st-round picks + TPE. Finally, send TJD + 5 1st-round picks to Jazz for Markkanen using LaVine's & Klay's TPEs.

ty for uploading

I wish someone payed me 40 million for 2 years for nothing.

Meanwhile GSW and Clippers are the whole reason the new CBA was made in the first place. Nevermind the fact that when Steph was out for a couple games in the beginning of the season they were tanking in rank. These players make so much money hand over fist that the only thing that drives them anymore is their ego. Because aint no way they dont understand how cap space works after all this time.

I am sad that Klay left despite his decline.

Mikal Bridges costed 5 FRP, if you think Lauri is going for anything less, you're probably smoking crack

Just FYI, after the ACL tear, it was leaked at the time that Klay wasn’t following his treatment schedule then shows up in LA for a pick up game and blows the Achilles

there's 1 thing you forgot, after the first injury there was a lot of news about klay going to the lakers and a few other potential teams, his father who used to play for the lakers was part of this debacle too so it's not just baseless rumors but klay's camp putting pressure on the warriors and in the end they had to give klay the bag to keep him other than that i agree with everything else

Naw, that’s not enough for Lauri. It’s going to end up being Kuminga, Moody, and 4 FRP after what Mikal Bridges got the Nets.

Back to daily hilarious uploads or just capitalizing on the trade season? The videos lately have been great and a perfect delivery: not boring and not overexaggerating

Needed A.M. Hoops to have a video on every trade and signing on everyteam and his opinion

After watching every warriors game last year I don’t think you realize how many games Klay shot us out of. There is a reason he got benched for a rookie man. We maxed Klay right after an ACL tear. Offered him a 2 year 48 million dollar deal earlier last season. Idk how that is doing hk dirty at all
