  • Klay Thompson expects a max contract but so far the Warriors haven’t given it to him. Since he’s come back from injury Klay’s attitude is a lot different than before. There could be very bad news for Warrior fans coming soon about Klay.

      And now he's not injured, led the league in 3s this past season, and has gotten gradually better since returning in January 2022 so he's proven he deserves the money. The Warriors giving Klay the supermax in 2019 wasn't them taking care of him, it was them keeping one of their core superstars, and the 2022 championship shows it paid off

  • @donaldspicer9224
    @donaldspicer9224 Год назад +1

    All the points that I would have made, are included, including the excellent reminder about Draymond Green. Roll the tape:
    (1) The note about analytics, where you can spin them to say whatever you want. Like I have long said about analytics: "If you need analytics to do your job as a GM, then you are probably in the wrong line of work". Clay was like Scottie Pippen with Jordan. Without him, they do not tally all these championships. End of story. How frustrating if you were a fan of an opposing team come playoff time, and this guy, along with Curry, are shooting the way they did. That surreal Clay record-breaking one quarter performance (though not in playoffs) shows what he was capable of.
    (2) Related to the above, in fact, not sure how you put a price tag on 4 championships, where he was an integral part in all. Also, if Clay does not go down against the Raptors, even with KD already out, VERY GOOD chance...pretty likely...in fact almost certain, the Warriors win the title there as well. Warriors led 83-80 late in the 3rd with with Clay heading to line for 2 shots when the injury occurred. I don't like the Raptors chances in that game or next with a healthy Clay and Steph.
    (3) Yes, it is obvious that Clay is not the same player as before (but remember, the guy came back from 2 serious, and potentially career ending injuries. Name the 2 worst injuries to suffer and torn ACL and torn Achilles heel would top most people's list). Now, also obvious is Clay trying to posture for that max contract, looking to get paid for his body of work and the player / force he used to be. (In a different time - actually a few years back - before the new CBA and all kick in, the Warriors could probably afford to give him that as a thank you for all he has done.)
    (3a) As @John so succinctly points out below in the comments: "To be fair without Steph, Klay and Draymond the team would currently be worth 3 billion, not 7 billion. He deserves the contract, but that doesn’t mean he will get it." (That is something certainly not lost on Warriors management, who have taken care of their star players, and others - refer to Jordan Poole's max contract.)
    (4) Nice to see that point and reminder on (and maybe for) Draymond Green, that he was not given a max contract for the simple reason that ... he is not worth a max contract. In the mind of several NBA players, the bar seems to have been lowered, where if this was the case, role players would join star, elite players on the max contract podium. Refer to a video from Casey a while back, complete with the facial expression when making his point, about (I believe) current Lakers player Pope thinking he was worth a max contract when with (I believe) the Pistons. "Seriously" Casey noted. Pope would in time adjust his game and his expectations, making him a valuable asset, though not of max contract value.

    Klay never evolved his offensive bag. So now that his defense ain't what it was, when his shot ain't dropping dude is almost unplayable. Dude is 6'7" if he had worked on his post moves, or had something off the dribble, when his shot ain't dropping he would have something to fall back on and force teams to adjust and give the Warriors a new element with work in the post. Dude would be a matchup nightmare with a post game and being a playmaker in the post. Klay with some footwork and post moves would make things sooo much easier on Steph and the Warriors offense.
