Don’t quit your day job bro. People get conned into becoming full time RUclipsrs and it ain’t all peaches n cream. Whatever you do outside of RUclips serves a real purpose, please continue to do both.
Warriors got a lot to clean up and upgrade. This post season is obvious we don’t have time to piss away money overpaying Klay. We need a lot of his minutes too.
its really that simple.
if he does'nt want the $15m, he can leave.
we love him, but we want to win even more.
and in the end, its a business, i wish him well really.
preach sis
Agreed moody two seconds a first and CP3 to the clippers for Norman Powell PJ Tucker and Zubac
@jkbzz I agree 100%. It's a business, not some mom & pop, corner store... Klay's a grown adult. Who was overpaid his last contract.
They absolutely upgrade in the wings with Kuminga and Wiggins. Both of those guys are upgradable.
I think a fair offer would probably be around twenty-five mil per year for two years.
I agree
Rudy needs to spend the rest of this series with his child
3 yrs/48 million or 2yrs/32
"We can't pay you what you're worth" I really like that pitch Alch that sounds like something that might be able to sway him.
He already got paid way more than he was worth for the last 4 seasons. Fair is fair.
Sucks that we’re here. Giving Klay big money for a bench player doesn’t make sense when you have a few vacant spots in the starting lineup.
Facts...
Never in my life have I ever signed up for 1 thing a RUclipsr told me to. No fucking Raid Shadow Legends or Solitaire scam… but this dude is literally the goat of basketball RUclips. Happy to be one of the last 26 brother. Signing up tonight. If yall value what he does you should go home and do the same
Man I was saying the same thing. This the only dude to get me to subscribe to patreon salute to Alch
Klay, kind of feel Dubs have to let him Walk. I don't think I trust him (or CP3)...with Kerr. When things go Left, Kerr depends on them even if it's harmful to winning games, let alone a playoff series
I wish Steve Kerr would just retire
I am a fan of Golden State Warriors and I'm often early to watch Alch's videos
👇
The time has come for the Warriors to choose. Do they want to compete or do they want to reminisce?
If they want to win, it is time to refresh the roster. CP, Thompson, Looney, Saric have to be let go and winning talent brought in.
Totally agree. I'd love Thompson to stay in a bench role. I don't know the numbers and salary cap stuff, but Klay still has game that can help a Championship team, but not as a starter. I really hope Moody is the starting SG next year. He deserves a really chance. Wiggins is another one who should move to the bench to make room for JK.
$40m / 2 years for Klay is way too much. Let him walk.
Klay is always in his own head.
There's a few direction's that GS can go this offseason. Idk which is best but what I do know is that overpaying klay is a crippling mistake. They already overpaid Draymond and wigs is clearly overpaid at this point as well.
What are you willing to pay a bench shooter who has no hustle and can't defend? Because that's what he is now. And as for the shooting he can easily shoot us out of a game when he's gone cold. I'd offer 2 for 30 mil and cap him at 26 minutes. That's all he is worth in actual playing ability at this stage! If not I'd let him walk. Unless we change tact with the old guys we ain't close to contending and that should be obvious by watching the youthful energy and defensive tenacity of this playoffs.
Take a pay cut, and get to winning!
the question is how severe of a pay cut. personally. im thinking like 2 yrs for 24 million or something and a 6th man role
They offered that to Klay 2 years 24 mil and he turned it down
@@erniebhernandez6452 Is klay really worth more at this stage than an Austin reaves type contract?
@@erniebhernandez6452 I thought they offered him 2 yrs at 24 million per yr. LOl no team should pay him 48 million.
The Dubs paid Klay $100,000,000 to rehab when he was injured for 2 years. He has enough money to spend for 50 lifetimes. Give his ass $5 million/yr. If he disagrees kick him in the ass on his way out the door.
Dude. Great point. That's the most loyalty than I've seen from any NBA team ever
@@gabrielvazquez81no it’s not lol. The guy contributed heavily to 4 championships and were you just gonna let him go just because he tore his acl? It’s not like you can get out of a contract when klay signed it
He needs to be traded for us to grow forward & for the younger guys to take that big step. It's his energy & pride that overall be a hurdle for these young, hungry group of guys. There's younger, cheaper guys out there than can shoot the three & defend better
Can’t be traded he’ll leave us regardless
Nah I'd do 20mil for 2 years. That way we can be sure to go get actual help in free agency
100%..... if hes feeling bad, he can look at the 40 million a year they paid him to sit out 2.5 yrs straight.
I can see a statue of Klay holding up four (+) fingers up outside Chase, but I agree somewhere around $20M if not less
I'd offer him 2yrs & 15 million. And please stop; Klay is No Kobe, just stop it... We hope he goes & get the bag for a contending team & give him our blessings.
7.5 million a year is a delusional offer
Point blank do not over pay for Klay no way
So green can get over payed but klay can’t ? Wow that’s crazy
@@bentheisraelite 2 wrongs don’t make it right it makes it worse
Sorry, I love Klay but he’s worth 15M/ year max.
GET MO BAMBA! He's shooting 3s better than Klay! He can protect the rim, changes shots, can rim run and rebound. He can play with TJD, Draymond or even Looney!
They also need more defense around Curry and another ball handler. He gets switched onto and exposed every play.
It's time to let Klay walk and unlock Moody! You can also play Wiggins at sg... but I'd be really happy if they flipped him for exp Bruce Brown, since GP2 is only good for about 5 games a season.
Sign Bamba, Batum, PippenJr or Dunn. Release CP3. Let Klay walk.
Bamba TJD Looney
Draymond Santos
Kuminga Batum
Moody Brown GP2
Curry Podz PippenJr/Dunn
I love Klay but they already payed him +70mil for those 2 years he missed... and any of us would let them cut our Achilles and paid rehab for a million let alone 70mil! Truth is he's not what they need right now. There's way too much pressure on Curry right now and his skills don't take pressure off unless he's on fire. The luxury tax has them handcuffed and they need to evolve.
L
You’re delusional lol. He barely takes 1 3 a game. Bamba is trash. And none of would be offered that contract because we suck at basketball
@ninerempire3398 McGee was trash before the Warriors. Bamba for 10-15min a night is a great change.
Other giant problem is Curry getting exposed on defense and attacked on offense. He needs more help.
@@GBnHawaii that was how many years ago. Mcgee actually had good seasons before we signed him. Bamba has never had a good season
@ninerempire3398 I get it. You don't see it. The Warriors need shooters and defenders. Bamba for 10-15min max gives you the ability to space the floor on one end and still defend and rebound on the other. Allows Kuminga to go one on one. Takes pressure off Curry if there's other scoring options.
They desperately need versatility on the roster with size.
20!? That’s a overpay 😵💫
20mil a year is definitely the limit of what Klay should get on the Warriors. We're not going to be a contender again unless Klay gets a 6th man contract. And that's what he should be offered.
if Klay has enough guts to leave the Warriors, let him take the leap. he'll be back just like Andre came back to finish. i say both he and Steph should take pay cuts so the Warriors can re-load with more youth.
Klay should take the money and go to orlando.. he has a lot of pride.. going somewhere that hasnt won would help him because he would easily be the second best player on the team.
If Klay is the second best player on a team, that team will suck. Now, 4-7th, that team could be pretty good. Similar to many great shooter, he will alwaya be able to shoot. But, right now thats all he brings to the table.
Are you saying he would be the second best player on Orlando??
Orlando was better than GSW this year. So was Klay easily the 2nd best player on Warriors?
Who cares if hes the 2nd best player, it would be sad for him to just chase money. Him going to Orlando doesn't make them a contender, especially if he's the 2nd best player.
@@kevinmclain6741 Interesting question. =) Klay played the second most minutes on the team if not the most. But, that was the chief problem, it was too many. He hurts more than he helps at this point. At the peak of his powers, even if he wasn't hitting shots, he was still a solid defender, at times elite. We all love Klay, but at this point, just like CP3 and Westbrook before him, are now just role players.
If they said all that Alc just said and then offered him 2 for 40, he’d be an actual criminal not to accept it. That’s a more than fair offer and they should also show him Pictures of D-Wade in a Bulls uniform and Pippen in a Blazers jersey.
20 is the limit I had in my head too
Klay has made 266 FREAKING MILLION with us. Sadly bc of injuries he is no longer the star player with us, he needs to take a major back seat. He can take a massive pay cut if he really is serious about this team and winning, holy hell. If not, Klay go bye bye.
Let Klay GO ..damm pls let him GO! He a burden point blank period..he's legend but. STEPH need young athletic 3 D players and two big men
No way I am giving Klay 20 , 15 should be fine This is why I love Florentino Perez . We all love Klay but business is business we showed him enough love . If he wants to contend with the same team take that cut ,Period .
People are being dramatic it’s black or white .
They can't win with the same team
I just don't know if Klay fits on this team as a championship contender anymore. Sure, they can make things interesting if he's there, but I think if we sign him (no matter the number), we're essentially forgoing any chance at another title (maybe we don't have one anyway). The winning formula is long, smart 3 and D wings who can shoot around Steph and Draymond. Klay just isn't that anymore. I don't mind bringing Klay back to see them end their careers together, but I don't see how he makes THIS team better at this point in his career.
Due to injuries and other reasons he has underperformed but his pay remained the same over the years...He should take less to finish his time here along with Curry so his legacy goes hand in hand with Curry's....Personally i would rather moving on from him, we need to focus on building a contending team in what little time we have left and not so much on players well being.
It’s really limited of moves the warriors can make if we being honest. They need more shooting and bigs. It would be nice to keep klay but long as Kerr is coaching he’s gonna revert back in starting him that can cost them games. They should just sign and trade to actually get something back in return.
We love you Klay. But $20mill per. Thats a lot on my opinion…we got to rebuild around Curry, Dray and Kuminga
Honestly Im just hoping for a KD situation where he’ll go for the sign and trade over just straight up leaving.
Love Klay, but overpaying him is not the answer to improving the team.
If he wants to stay a Warrior 4 life and he really wants to not only be like Kobe and be a 1-team 4 life player AND win another ring, he should take the deal and stay!
Klay is a shell of himself. Orlando doesn’t even want him
You don’t know that lol
let klay walk, yesterday.
I'm kinda with you, because if we don't make the aggressive, necessary moves to improve this off-season; like ESPN says, Steph's window as a Warrior could be close. Hell, I think Donte Pizzarizo in New York had a better yr than Klay. Google Klay's stats in his last 5 playoffs games & reply them back to me... I'll wait. I forget what he had in his last game... Oh, I know why, because it was nothing, zero, bagel, donough, nada damn thing. Whatever they him, he should take it with a smile or say thanks, but I'm going elsewhere with a smile. Period!
He too greedy and his ego not in check. He will go.
Nice pitch Alch! If we could fit Klay under the cap at $25 Million, I would good with that. The Duds did pay Klay to rehab for 2 and a half years afterall. Like unc said "the statue is going up outside of The Chase Center regardless." Alch if I gambled, I would support you with UnderDog Fantasy brother.... but I wish you luck in reaching your goal.
Under? Its not a matter of being under, they are still way over the cap at that point.
@@yt.damian The ownership group said they will get under the cap this year. I don’t know if they will, but trading CP3 will help. GS will be better next year I have a belief.
@@kermicgreen3370 They will have to lose CP3 and Klay I reckon to do that. Stop trading picks away and rebuild.
That's too much. 15m is the Max for him
great pitch. nailed it. only thing is id go 2 for 15 tops if they wanna compete. He scored 0 points in the play in. If not, work out a sign & trade if they are even able to do that w the cap situation
15 per year or 15 total?
@@Solo2121Total. Might add some options (so many rebounds, so many steals, etc. - bonus check).
@@Solo2121 sorry. yeah 15 per year
I think your offer is fair. Klay has been streaky and didn’t show up at all for the play in game. Also his attitude has hurt the team as much as Draymond’s suspensions, imho. Don’t forget the Warriors paid him a ton the two years he was hurt so that cannot be discounted. I would also like to a point out that part of the problem we have is that I believe Steph is overpaid. As great as he is, father time is definitely catching up with him and his body just can’t take it anymore. The Warriors are in the financial bind primarily because of what they are paying Steph so damn much. The favored son should not be exempt from his role in this situation. There I said it 😊
You speak the truth.
The Dubbs aren't contending with what Kerr and Dunleavy built. Go get that bag Klay. California tax is too high. Go sign that contract in Florida . Steph should leave as well
ALCH!!! This isnt about the contract. This is a loyalty test.
Loyalty was already established with getting paid and rehabbed for 2 years and nothing for the organization.
@@bogusphone8000you would’ve lost klay for nothing?
Klay is going to be my dog no matter what. Do ya thing Klay!!!
Send Draymond over to his house and let him do his magic.
Klay has a poor attitude and ego due to the fact he can no longer be old klay. It's time to move on, and he will always be a warrior.
Cool, at the end of the day. As a die hard warriors fan. I watch this team suffer sooo many times in post season and not even making it to the playoffs. I 💯 respect Klay. He was part of the success.
I don’t want that relationship to end bad because he will get his jersey retire and have a statue at Chase.
The fact is, his attitude was fixed towards the end of the season. He was making his buckets off the bench and he had a great attitude. I think many of you guys are stuck of the negatives and not look at the positives that he showed towards the end. That’s what matters most.
You can blame Klay as much as you want but the way I see is the warriors can absolutely find a role for him. Warriors need more size and athleticism. Klay will never be the same defender again but he can be a focal part of the offense where they can mask his defense.
Seeing the playoffs, some teams struggle to find offense.
@Geassmaster55 What do they owe, what nonsense is this? Klay got 90 million dollars and never set foot on the floor, they've more than paid their dues.
It is highly unlikely to field another contender anytime soon or at all. We are not like Lakers now, the League doesn't like us like that. Why not roll with our guys until the end? We were losers for decades and still had fun.
@@practiceyourart NBA covered that expense. Warriors applied for a player disability service. It’s like an insurance that the NBA covers teams when a max player has a serious injury. Same thing Bulls are doing with Lonzo.
@@javierlandaverde4108 That doesn't change what I said. They could have easily traded him to another team during that time to go all in by the time Steph Curry came back or retooled immediately.
I'm a warrior fan since the cow palace, klay is the engine that makes the warriors go, without him there's no championships, give him his due props to me he is still more valuable than Wiggins, paul,moody and some others, he must be kept, he's still a very good 2 way player?
2 years $45 mill or 3 year $60 mill (knowing that 3rd year will be brutal)
No. He's dead weight. Nostalgia won't win a title, and can only sell so many tickets.
Is it crazy of me to wish for a magic/klay sign and trade and we snag a Jonothan Isaac or WCJ?
for on court reasons why should they keep klay?
1. Resign Klay for 18-23 mil a year. He’s a bench player now but we know what he can bring offensively when he’s hot (emphasis on WHEN he’s hot)
2. Trade Podz+Wiggins for Kyle kuzma and cap filler. Podz looks like a true vocal leader and he may be able to change the culture in Washington with Poole and Wiggins known to play better together.
3. Try to nab Tyus jones and Isaiah Hartenstein. You’re cutting it close to the apron but Tyus isn’t going for more than 18 and neither will I.Hartenstein.
4. Bench Dray for kuzma and allow him to work with Klay off the bench and create for him. Steph doesn’t need Draymond to score and Steph needs to adjust in his old age and facilitate more when needed. Also as true punishment for dray’s behavior costing the team these past two years.
5. Moody and Kuminga will start the sg and sf positions. They can defend at a high level (Kuminga when engaged) and have shown the ability to score on their own. Trust that they can make further strides in their development to help Steph next year.
6. If everything goes well,
You have a starting lineup of Steph-moody-Kuminga-kuzma-Trayce/hartenstein
Bench: jones-Klay-gp2-dray-Trayce/I.Hart
Looney can get minutes potentially but he should try to commit to a Mo Speights role to help space the floor off the bench if we can’t get Hart in FA.
10/year >
The statues should be part of a water park feature, so they always wet 😂
WHO THE HECK IS GOING TO PAY 20M FOR A DECLINING 35 YR. OLD PLAYER WHO IS SO DAMN INCONSISTENT!!! Remember the last game against Denver, 26 points in first half, 00000 in second half.
Twenty MILLION dollars for a soon to be 35 year old player who can't play D anymore, whose shooting is very inconsistent and us now taking up time from younger players lime Moody?????? How about this deal? NOTHING. Let him go to another team. GET YOUNGER, FASTER, MORE ATHLETIC.
Ppl Talk A Lot About How Much Klay Was Paid/ Should Be Paid But I Promise You The Organization Made A Lot More Off Of Him Than They Paid Him. I Hope Both Sides Can Find An Amount They Are Happy With. I Want Klay To Stay With The Warriors #11
That was a great pitch you made.
Top shooters for big men, 3pt made and 3pt%, Naz Reid, Donte, Grayson Allen only got 12-15 mil each.
Giving Klay 3 for $40 mil works. He’s done. Warriors won’t do better than 8-10th place with this team.
I would still do 2 yr 48 million for Klay. But, if he wants more let him walk.
Sign Jonas Val and Mo bamba as your centers.
Let Looney, gp2 , and cp3 walk.
Sign matisse thybulle as your defensive wing. If klay leaves, then
trade wiggs and jk for Jeremiah grant and a draft pick or kamari.
Lineup:
Steph
Moody
Grant
Green
Jonas
Bench:
Podz
Thybulle
Gui
TJD
Mo Bamba
Dont compaer Kobe to Klay. KOBE was and the only Lakers face and their ineptness of managing the team made KOBE more important than the contract they paid him. GSW as it stands SO Long as CURRY is in the team would be a first round exit at best as a team. The reson why GSW was very successful all those gears is because guys like IGUODALA and a peak Klay Thompson covered for Steph CURRY horrible defense. Think about it even if STEPhs scores 40 points a bench player who is offensive minded will at least drop 30 on Steph amd it use to be KLAY and IGGY covered and backed him up on the defensive side. Then you got DRAYMOND who is so overrated and now is a liability as a teamamte. So even if you pay Klay 20$ mil per year both Steph n Draymond are almost 70$ mil. Thats 90 mil on players that are no longer close to their peak. Then look at their competition if they actually kept that budget. BOTH THE WOLVES AND OKC are just better and younger The Lakers have still a better roster DENVER is still the champ with Jokic and lets not forget SPURS woth WEMBY will eventually improved. GSW needs to revamp quick and sad to say none of their 3 stars are the answer specially for the salary they command. If they keep that core they wont sniff the championship maybe another decade if their lucky.
1. Bruh anything more than the vet minimum and a 7/8-man role is too much for Klay.
2. I've been saying AD should have been the UNANIMOUS DPOY after the All-star break and this series is just further proof. AD is just a better 3-Level defender and hes quite literally the only + defender in the starting LA linup. Gobert is surrounded by studs and they actually play just as well without him
A real possibility is sign and trade as well. Imagine we do a deal with Atlanta (now that they got the first overall pick they could upgrade at center), sign/ trade klay and looney for Clint and Bojan. Or if we could swing a trade for dejounte murray. That way we could resign Chris paul who at this point has looked better for us than klay
Klay/pod for capella/bogdan
The problem with Klay isn’t Klay, it’s Kerr. Kerr won’t objectively coach Klay Draymond, Loon, Wiggs and Steph anymore. Klay resented being benched, but he still accepted it; but Kerr went with Klay and the 2022 starters while he rejected the young players losing game after game, including the play-in. I think Klay and Dray and Wiggs could kill off the bench, but they are no longer starters on a winning team that wants to compete for a title. They’ve outlasted almost everyone, but their time as the main players is done. So is KD’s, LeBron’s and even Steph’s to an extent. The Dubs need a new offense where Steph is often option 2, a new defense where Draymond can play in shorter spurts at PF and NOT help off ball the majority of the time, with Trayce at center. Start Steph, Moses at 2, Kuminga at 3, find a Naz Reid style player for your 4, and TJD at 5, and Podz is your 6th man. And develop Gui, now
I agree with everything you said, but the $40M over 2 years would be received by Klay as an "Insult". I believe a 3rd year is very important to Klay... I believe the Warriors if interested need to put together a package which incorporates the 3rd year into the deal. Maybe something that reflects 3 years and $58M... Just a thought....
Respect? He was payed IN FULL during his 2 years on the bench due to injuries. He isn't producing any better before the injury. He is actually worse then ever. Klay is a #4 or off the bench now at best. Before the injury he was the #3 guy behind Curry and K.D.. Klay is barely playing defence now as well.
Would Klay’s achievements be diminished if he became a non-Warrior? No. The NBA system now requires teams AND players to be flexible and adaptable. Hey, Klay, dont tell me you arent flexible or adaptable.
Kobe stayed and by doing so turned the Lakers into the Washington Generals, playing farewell tour exhibition basketball for years. Nothing noble about that. It smacks of narcissism.
OKC is young, plays the warriors way better than the warriors do, and will only get better. Warriors should STOP the nostalgia. Old, bad, and getting worse won't build anything. A retirement home isn't worth buying tickets to watch.
Klayk great shooter and photo gallery is living his own life as it own life in his own home 🏡 life OK ka.pai bless the lord 😀 🙏💡🌹💡🌹👎🍒🍒⚫️⚫️🐶👋
I don't think it's fair to expect Steph to take a pay cut. He was underpaid for so long because they didn't trust his ankles. I think it was 12 million? Someone please correct me if I'm wrong. He was asked about it, but he didn't complain. He's sacrificed a lot, so it was only fair that they give him his money. Don't ask him to give up his money when he has already sacrificed by taking so much less.
Well, it kinda comes down to whether you think this core can get back to the playoffs. Haven’t been back since that fools gold 4th title. I let Klay go, find a dump for Wiggins, release Paul, and find a new home for Draymond. Btw-Klay is not worth $20m. He’s been shooting the team out of games ever since he came back. Get back out of the tax and start the next gen with the new guys. Don’t go chasing with this core. They’re done and they’ve showed us two years in a row.
We will honor Klay! Build him a statue, retire his jersey, make documentaries about him, but we not paying him what he wants!
reasonable?!! do better- Jrew Holiday is getting 130m 4yr you want him to take 20 per year and he score 17pt per game? I'm not a Golden State fan like that but this is disrespectful. You guys gave Chris Paul 33m plus but can't give your homegrown guy 25 plus! you guys need a strong 1a and Klay can be consistent like when Durant was around. if he leaves you will need 2 more players. also Draymond is getting 25m and he can't score, but the shooter that you need cant get 25m also....stop the CAP!!! you all are emotional. All of you guys are mad if you aren't getting paid enough and would go to a different place.
I feel like I’m going crazy. Klay was not a winning player last year. He had a negative net rating. A PER below 14, iirc. And a below average true shooting. He had one of the worst defensive ratings on the team. And he and Steph had a negative net rating together. You can’t be saying you care about winning next year, and are talking about bringing him back on a gross overpay. If y’all want a nostalgia tour, say that. But this ain’t about winning here. This is about nostalgia.
I like the 2yrs 40mil but I think we should put in a couple extra years for him. Like we can’t offer you the money Orlando will for 2 years but what about in 4. like we’re committed long term , just like we have been when we paid you post injury for essentially 2 years of rehab. Pay him like the best 6man in the league cause that’s who he is now on a championship team.
Why not offer him 4 years at 20m/per, so he can finish his career with Steph and Draymond? I doubt that any team will give him that many years. Klay wants to feel wanted and to finish his career, the right way. The big 3 may only play 2 more years anyway, so I doubt that Klay will finish out a 4 year contract. It's a win win for both sides.
If the past is prologue, the GSW as currently constructed are not title contenders. I get the loyalty perspective but at the end of the day, Klay should take care of Klay (because the GSW organization is taking care of itself) ... at a minimum, pitch a decent proposal and let Klay decide.... either way, continue the march or move to the right.
nahhh run that man 2yr 30m. I'm not sure what we were supposed to see from him last year, but it wasn't helpful or encouraging. The most meaningful game of the season, he goes 0/10. And he's only getting older. Any money we can save on him, I think have to save on him
Klay Thompson is not the problem or the solution for the Warriors. If the Dubs dont get more 2 way players and size, it diesnt matter. They will not be able to compete in the West. Considering that they have signed Kerr and Draymond, it doesn't bode well for a change in style pf play which is what would be most beneficial for Klay. Klay needs to go play for Orlando, Philadelphia or any other cap space contender. Given Kerr's aversion to change, Klay would do well to end his career on his own terms elsewhere.
We obviously can’t overpay for Klay but realistically are you gonna have a better starting SG if he leaves ? Prolly not so 2/40M seems fair if he wants us to compete for a chip
Is the Klay conversation not moot unless the Warriors can decide (and then communicate) that a lower contract means his role will be completely reduced? I think if the warriors don't decide the direction of the team, it's still kind of lying to Klay even if they get honest about pricing his legacy at $20M.
I agree with 20 mil per, good pitch for it as well. If he takes 40 from Orlando, I won't be mad at it. We had a good run.
My idea is the money goes ⬇️ as the years go on (2025: $20M, 2026: $17M, 2027: $15M)
Warriors cannot compete Too small too slow. Time to rebuild. Get some good basketball players in here to help. If you are a light years boss, that’s what you should do. You should realize that Klay is not a basketball player. He’s just a shooter. And now he cannot shoot 0 for 10 the last game. Should have dropped him two years ago. No tough decision here
The problem with not keeping Klay is you lose his salary slot. He can only be replaced with a vet min deal. You can't use his money for anyone else. If he goes, you have another slot to fill and over the cap space anyway. Vet mins and a possible MLE will have to fill out the roster. Not a good team either way.
If klay comes back, it needs to be understood that his role is whatever Kerr decides it is. No more starting him to protect his ego if he needs to come off the bench.
If he is fully bought into winning irregardless of his role in it, I want him back. I just don't want to see Emo klay effecting team chemistry going forward.
Klay on borrowed time, and I mean with his close colleagues and basketball fams.
You are being reasonable and sensible. Sick of this team living in the past. Not another year of bullsh*t please.
“can’t blame the referee…” for real, did you watch the entire game? NBA referees sucked!
Klay is nolonger a starter. He is a defensive liability. Pay him respectfully but if he is not willing to sit like Iggy, then let him make the decision to leave.
If the Warriors don't have the money and klay know this ? If he want to stay inspite of the money. But klay has to much pride and it always get in his way.but if his game will be up and down and his mindset like it is now ? this will hurt the Warriors next season .
But we don't want him to stay bro!
He is in the way!
Everyone knows this.
Let's cut the B.S.
