He didn’t wanna be blamed for the Lakers problems. Smart
Exactly!!
They will make klay an escape goat 100% and call him washed if he doesnt produce.
💯
😂
Also warriors giving Draymond that fat contract but disrespecting klay is still ridiculous
Idc what no one says
Don’t forget they paid Jordan Poole too
Especially after all the green bs he has done
Don’t forget Warriors gave Klay a max contract while rehabbing two injuries.Also warriors offered Klay $48 mill for two years.Klay just wanted to leave
@@getmoneychill6462steve kerr slept with klays mom thats what happened his parents are divorcing now
Klay didn’t get disrespected
lol just weeks ago y'all were saying Klay is WASHED. and now he's lethal from a distance??
They know more than GSW apparently
He is washed
Klay has been washed for a few years already.. Steph literally has been carrying the team
@@HOV4Nthank you warriors fan here. I love klay but ego got in the way too
He's barely a starter but they gotta hype up the Mavs and this move because there's no other real news and because the media knows a lot of dumb fans both hate the Warriors and love the Mavs.
Not Tim Bontemps pointing out ESPN’s favoritism to the Lakers 💀
Klay made the best decision..the Lakers are a circus...rookie coach who has no coaching experience and a player coach who runs the team...
All rookie head coaches have no experience that kind of how it works…. Jason Kidd was a rookie head coach on the bucks just a few years ago and just had his team in the finals….
Some people really need to speak logical man
every coach is a rookie coach at some point in time brother
@@zuhayralam2146I think he meant to say he is the first “Head Coach” without any prior coaching experience (Assistant or anything) and getting the the job.
Just say he made the best decision and leave it at that..cause you are contradicting your point about the best decision when he is going to a team coached by Jason Kidd that had to start something in the nba with no experience
Just say you hate Lebron lol
ESPN must be testing our patience. Bontemps, Domonique and Hahn to talk basketball is pure torture.
Dawg this dude said klay going to get so many more wide open shots compared to what he’s use to like he didn’t play for the warriors for 11 yrs who hade one of the greatest offensive systems ever who created the most space and open looks ever smh
Hahn has been covering basketball for 20+ years. People really just like to cry don't they, just go watch something else.
@@matthewm3869 So? Your point?
I can respect his career, but, I can also say that he has some of the worst angles and irrelevant takes I've ever heard.
Right now, the standard of NBA analysis on ESPN is really low. Maybe the entertainment value has gone up. But I can still comment on what I think of it.
Bro your right ESPN is awful. Hanh is arguing warriors should pay on past performance that's ridiculous. So he literally was saying pay him cause it was special 🤣 they offered him money he declined wanted more and warriors said I ain't paying for years prior. It's ok to say klay is declining it's fact. He shot poorly for large stretches and really declined on D. ESPN blows it's hilarious how bad at times.
@@guwop93his take and his voice is horrible
Why pay Draymond and not keep Klay SMH. In my opinion I would have shipped off Draymond couple years ago
Draymond wasn’t kept for draymond, draynond was kept for curry. Curry needs his human backpack setting illegal screens all season or it’s ugly for the warriors.
Mr. Triple single
@@4theculturegaming740So why Draymond can’t score also?
It don't matter there window is closing get rid of both of them
If you know the warriors playing style, Draymond green is the playmaker and best defender. They always go on losing streak when he’s not playing
If klay gets his shot back, and I think he will , he will be gold for the Mavs.
Let’s be honest Klay is not sharing minutes with Austin and Dalton and with Mavs he’s the go to guy. It makes sense
hahaha, we he is go to guy with two ball hoggers especially Luka who has the highest usage rate
@@swarajthapa5798 what I mean by that is playing time he already didn’t get the money he wanted and everybody knows even though plays a good guy. He has an ego. He’s not about to be taking less playing time behind Austin Reeves in a rookie just because he has a bad shooting night, he won’t have to worry about that with the Mavericks because they literally need him.
@@swarajthapa5798DJJ gettin his bag due to Luka wym.
@@swarajthapa5798 Luka highest usage rate. Ok. You're casual 🤡
@@swarajthapa5798and was also the leader in triple-doubles, which you just don’t get without assists.
He’s never been the ball hog you’ve made him out to be. He is one of the best passers the league has ever seen.

Better then anything you said
If that's the case, what are you even doing here?
another delusional Lakers fan. Have fun with Bronny James and his buster Heart haha
@@chuckkrafton4362 maybe reread where I say I Turned it off within 5sec…didn’t know windy had fan boys 🤭
Everyone thinks Players want to run to help bron win another title. They don’t want to deal with him and that circus in LA. He’s hiring and firing coaches, and forcing management to select his son while he sit back and puts out the narrative that he has nothing to do with all this. AD the only fan that runs up behind bron like a puppy dog.
Everyone talks about the sacrifice Steph made to play with KD, but the person who had to sacrifice the most was Klay. They were no longer "The Splash Brothers"....it became the "Steph and KD warriors"
I think they said something to him.
It wasn't the money, he has said before that he'd take less money for Steph and Draymond cus Steph got underpaid on his first contract.
Alex Thank you!!! I have been arguing THAT exact point to my brothers. Loved when KD & Steph BOTH. Had OFF nights in the same game (ECF 2019 Rockets & Finals Toronto Raptors) AND it was Klay's 3-pointer shooting carrying the team
They just went to the finals have a young superstar and have no state income tax. Done
And lost horribly. And will not make it back next year 😂😂😂 so yea, DONE is right.
@@fadethechannelwho said that they were going to make to the finals this year? I don't remember anyone predicting that.
Then again I'm talking to a brain dead that probably owns a LeBron James fleshlight.
Honestly a fluke. It wasn’t even close. It was like lebron facing gsw when kd was there.
@@Astelchbeating three 50 win teams in a single post season is a fluke now huh 😂 y'all on drugs or something?
@@itzMiraii fluke. teams did not figure out the mavs. The celtics did; its call run the whoever offense on luka and its an easy bucket. Mavs defensively is just terrible. Mavs wont make it back to the finals; this season i can promise you that
The loss of Derek Jones is huge. Same thing happened when the Lakers let Caruso go. Denver just left KCP go as well. Theses guys play huge and are key pieces. These guys are elite defenders.
denver lost allready when they let brown go. they have no bench at all
They lost Jones and Green.
@@brandonmoskos9149 true
Green's energy will be missed but he wasn't a good defender. He defended by fouling. Grimes will replace his production with better defense. Jones will be a bigger miss because the fit was seamless but Naji plays the same way and is a better defender and shooter. Just not as athletic
He will be missed but we replaced djj,green &thj with Klay , Marshall and grimes . That is a win . Djj knew the rules when changing his his agent and unfortunately we just can’t wait that long to get assets
Warriors did not send him away. He had a $48 million extension on the table from last year for two years and did not take it and now he is playing for less. His ego was bigger than his brain. Dallas needs more than Klay Thompson to win a championship.
Exactly. These casuals acting like he is going to be a difference maker. If that was the case GSW would’ve caved lol they know more than ANYBODY.
There's nothing for him to contribute on that team with 2 ball dominant players in the backcourt already. Dude is gonna be 10 points a game off the bench playing 20 min a game if he's lucky.
He’s just a jump shooter. He was so bad the last two years playing for the Warriors They removed him as a starter. Let’s see if he will be better in Dallas.
Yeah Like the Warriors are gonna do something. The Mavs are better than the Warriors PERIOD!!
Ultimately, this was an ego play by Klay but the Warriors priority is to get under the second apron, not the construction of a winning team.
This is so sad should still be a warrior
But he willingly left
He's washed anyway
@@WWG3802 he’s wash ? 4time champion aka bench player AVG 17.9 FG43.2/ 3PT 38.7

The Warriors offered good money but he didn't think it was enough early in the year
Also let's not forget, the Warriors already were nice when the gave him the MAX deal in 2019 while he was injured, knowing he wouldn't even play that year
Most serious teams would've offered klay that bag then even to sit out. Especially warriors of course.
@@kpNov23I don’t get it warriors offered him 2 years 48 million and mavs gave him 3 years 50 million he’s only making 2 mil more
@@yungog2o3 taxes!
@@user-rx4ce9hl3r wow taxes like 2 million is gonna be a huge difference to a guy like klay 😂😂
Dubs already gave him one max before his second max in 2019. Klay is selfish and greedy!
Didnt they pay Klay the max after his injury? Where in that is the disrespect? Don't get me wrong, im happy Klay is with Dallas, just seems like this is being blown out a bit.
He got injured dropping 30 in a finals game trying to win a ring. After playing threw injuries that whole playoff series
There is no loyalty in the NBA. everyone's fake. He said he wanted to finish carrer as a Warrior all bs. 0-10 in an elimination game, then ditches Warriors for the team that wins the Western Conference finals. Should be a lesson for teams to ditch their stars when they get old and injured.
As a lakers fan I’m not even mad about the Klay Thompson news 😂😂😂
Mavs paying 50M for Klay 💀
But good for Dallas I guess lol.
As a Lakers fan, Im not mad about Klay
Im mad that weve done NOTHING so far and will likely not end up using the midlevel on anyone.. Bron about to get the Max
Smh
Lol 50 for a player that averages 18 is not bad. If he went lakers with the taxes he would have got 70 or 80.
Demar still out there. Idk how he would fit
Nobody wants to play with Lakers. They’re a mess. Rookie coach. Aging star. Aging stars mediocre son. Mr Glass
Don’t nobody want to play for the Los Angeles Lebrons bro lol it’s a circus over there
Klay don’t want to be in Bronny shadow and part of that circus and I agree
Quit crying
pretty much
You sound silly. He wouldn't be in Bronny's shadow. Bronny is in the learning stage from the vets.

This man just said he’s going to have more wide open 3s than he’s used to.
First he played with the greatest shooter ever who was consistently getting doubled.
Second they must have not watched Klay last season he missed so many wide open 3s.
And yet he still finished 4th in the NBA last year in 3PTM.
Dude, even in his worst year, Klay Thompson is a better 3-point shooter than over 90% of the league. Stats tell the tale here, not your eyes or opinion.

And yet he still shot nearly 40% from 3 on the worst shooting year of his career
Lmaooo he said the lakers weren't competitive in that series we were up by double digits 3 out of 4 games and Jamal murray hit 2 Game winners LIKE WHY IS HE ALLOWED TO TALK ABOUT BASKETBALL

Agree totally with Tom as Draymond was valued unfairly more than Clay.

Meanwhile the Lakers wasted all that time going after someone they could never get while letting players they actually needed get away

they should have got drummond, then AD can play PF
The Klay Thompson quote that Richard Jefferson mentioned speaks volumes about Klay’s feelings for Golden State rn… didn’t know he felt that way tbh 😳
@ALEXANDERRODRIGUEZ-yl5mi he told Richard Jefferson at Christmas when he said to him “keep your mental right”…. Klay said back “Tell Golden State to pay me my money” 😳

@@djadondaman17nba contracts are 100% fully guaranteed, just like baseball. golden state took that risk paying him.
Its like they forgot Windy was there 😂 I would've just dropped off the call
Kyrie shot 41% from 3 last year, they just do not upscale his off ball movement for threes. Careful not to mislead people with that 500 attempts qualifier for catchy sounding quote.
That's what I was thinking 🤔 Kyrie is good for 4/9 almost every game.
Klay wants to win NOW, not just be a contender. Klay would have helped the Lakers be a solid contender. But Dallas just came off the NBA Finals., and Dallas' dollars are taxed WAAAAY less, so the same contract would be worth more money. The Lakers also have a new coach, who has never coached AT ANY LEVEL. Klay made the right call to give himself the best chance to make the playoff and possibly repeat as Western Conference champions.
Dallas won't make the finals , not even western finals 😒 !

Lol Klay plays Defense better than Thj
@@jeydiegaming8092 klay is to old to guard somebody thats not in a wheelchair
Wrong. Offense needed playing boston.
That’s true but in the finals, the Mavs shot 17% compared to the Celtics 40%(i think that is the right percentage). I understand that klay didn’t score in the elimination game but to have the year klay had averaging 17 points per game while shooting 40% from three that’s still a pretty decent year. Not to mention the tax difference as well. I think Mavs got a good pickup
The host was great!! Didn’t interrupt the flow
In the words of klay himself
"I guess he got his feelings hurt"
those words didn't turn out well for him did it??
@@DanielCombs-qf8iu no sir they did not
Luka's gon introduce uncle Klay to Devin Booker 😂
The Lakers are the very same team that not only could have beat Denver this year but should have beat Denver. Klay Thompson is a SHELL of his former self. So it's not like he will be the difference maker no matter where he goes. Otherwise he is never getting out of Golden State. They only thing that's a real circus these days are comment sections and Sport Media Types.
But guess what they didn’t be Denver because the Lakers ain’t that good
@@loinestbonin2665 Says you.

@@robbyRob740facts !
The last week there had to been a 100 Lakers post im a Bron fan no doubt but this is tiring now they need to accept Lakers not seeing a finals again for a very long time.
That personal phone call from LeBron did nothing 😅

LeBron is not him.
@@WhitneyGadison1 Agreed
Honestly the Lakers run that place like the Dallas Cowboys. This season all eyes are going to be on LeBron and his son getting minutes with his Dad with a new first time head coach who wants to play with that lol
Yes it did. Klay " Is this joker serious! No way I am going to LA Lakers" 😅
@@Benji-rn3fl yeah if anything it made Klay’s decision easier 😂
“Playing with LeBron, his son and a new coach nah I’m good what’s up Luka you ready for 1/2 of the splash bros?”
They made a mistake extending Draymond. Klay is way more valueble right now and more iconic to the franchise. Draymond haven been awful for a few years already even when they won the last championship
RJ you don't get paid for past performance warriors definitely did the right thing and not overpay him. They messed up resigning Draymond they didn't want to extend a aging star again.
Bontemps just admitted to ESPN's preference in seeing Lakers in the finals hahaha
The Mavs are a couple pieces away from winning the finals Lakers are not close to getting there!!
Ok casual
Brown and Tatum took 7 yrs for a title I don't know if this trio can get it done in their first season Maybe They'll only last 1-2 seasons together if not getting a ring
Klay had a bad year by his standards, but he still was an elite 3-point shooter last year. I believe he finished tied for 4th in the league. The problem is that last year wasn't an elite defender. But he can still shoot the lights out.
The lakers were busy getting Bronny… who would go to a team like that? Klay wants another ring. Not another boat.
Klay will stand around and watch Luka&Kyrie dribble.They just look for their shot.
Let’s not forget that klay had
0 points on an elimination game
That was a F you to the warriors FO.
Poole, who hadn't done much, gets $140m. Wiggs, who played one great playoffs, get $100m. Draymond, who can't shoot and is a team cancer, gets $100m. Klay, who wins you 4 championships and is the perfect teammates, is traded. Joe Lacob needs to put the crack pipe down.
Let's go Dallas I'm hyped even more can't wait for next season
WHY? 2 things. #1.Lebron insisting on drafting his unproven, untested 6'1" son Bronny speaks VOLUMES about what the Lakers org is about right now and what the Lakers outlook and objectives in the immediate future are!; #2. The Mavs are LEGIT title contenders. They are building a team that willl challenge for the championship again. The Lakers, well, they made history as the first NBA team to have a father-and-son on the same team! WOO HOO!!!
steph may get some well deserved credit this season for how much better he made his former teammates in hindsight (kd, klay, even poole!)
Outside of kd they act like steph has played with historic players for his career. He had his magic kareem Shaq kobe pippen wade for only 3 yrs and they said it was unfair
This guy said the Lakers weren’t competitive????? lol. They could have won every game they lost. They didn’t get blown out
Yea he’s disingenuous

Mavs paying 50M for Klay 💀
But good for Dallas I guess lol
50m for 3 years tho
16 million a year for klay isn't bad at all tho
correction, they are paying 16 mil a year for Klay. And you now are shopping for Demar to further lower your spacing. You my good sir should be mad.
Folks biggin up Dallas only cuz they ain’t want the lakers to get him😭 klay don’t fit wit the mavs their defense gon be toast fr
Lakers should go for steph. They are missing an elite point guard and steph may still be the best point guard in the league for one last year or two. Just enough for both him and Lebron to get that fifth ring. Plus can you imagine steph and Lebron vs kyrie and Klay?!🤯 that’s a dream western conference finals! Highest rated nba series in nba history if it happened.
It's just an all around great fit honestly
No way they think the Mavs are “Klay Thompson” away from winning a chip
You Blind Asf Then Bro smh
0:45 - Kyrie just shot 41% from 3 but it doesn't count because they added a minimum of 500 attempts. Why is the bar so high? That is a very cherry-picked stat.
Facts
They just don’t like Kyrie. They disregard Kyrie all the time.
He didn't want to work for Ringling Brothers.
You sound ignorant. Just say you don't know what's going, but desire to insult a group to show your feminine side.
I love Klay in Dallas. I predict 2025, NBA championship. 🎉😊
Hope so but every team Is Upgrading their roster this season it'll be more exciting we need another different Champion this season
People are just pissed that he didn’t pick the Lakers. Media and its ownership groups understand the money that flows when you’re discussing New York, and California. Hence, the reason they’re talking about the Lakers when there is absolutely no reason to be talking about the Lakers 😂
Either situation could have worked out for klay..anything can happen in sports..some of these breakdowns makes no sense..just because the maves were in the final doesn’t automatically mean it’s a better situation for klay..did you actually watch the finals lol does klay automatically push them?..and just cause they made the finals this year did we forget just months before that they didn’t make the playoffs at all…while those same terrible lakers they are talking about were in the playoffs..sometimes the breakdowns and the reasoning they say on tv just make no sense
GSW paid Klay 5/$190,000,000 … he was injured for 2 of that 5 and averaged 18 this year… DJJ is better than Klay defensively right now and adding Klay definitely doesn’t close the talent gap between Dallas and Boston( Philly, Denver, Milwaukee, or NY)
Love it 🎉🎉🎉
That dork said taxes don’t matter
Yes they do Cali. V Texas …..
Especially for a player on the back end of one’s career …
The sense of entitlement of an injury prone, over the hill player is astounding! The Golden State Warriors can't be blamed here. Thompson thought he should get a loyalty contract, GTFO Klay!
Still think the lakers will fair better with derozan instead, he drives to the rack more and uses all areas of the court to score more assist and rebounds
Assuming they get DeRozan lol
Sad to see klay leave the warriors
Why does Windy keep pushing this narrative that the Mavericks are this team that’s closer to winning a championship than the Lakers cause they were just there? The whole league works on matchups, Mavericks don’t beat Lakers in a 7 game series

Even joining the Clips wouldve made more sense.. Klays gonna regret joining Dallas
@Nostalgia9478 anyone one of these top teams in the West could have made the finals so to say there run was luck when 2 years ago they made the WCF with no Kyrie and their added additions made them better and their defense has improved. We could be saying the Lakers got lucky last year making the WCF just being a play-in team. I would trust the Mavericks more than the Lakers at this point with Lebron getting older, AD's injury history etc. Mavs have a higher ceiling at this point. Now whether this translates to the Mavs going to the WCF in the competitive West next year we will see.
@@der6519Lakers couldve made the Finals too if they were lucky enough to avoid Denver the way the Mavs did. The Finals proved how MID the Mavs are. Kyrie is injury prone too and Luka waa injured throughout the playoffs. The Lakers have three first rounders they can trade, including Knecht to bolster the roster. They have a competent coach now, unlike Dopey Darvin. Im not saying Lakers wouldve been Klays best option.. Clippers and Phlly wouldve been better, but Mavs were BY FAR the WORST possible choice. Theyre probably gonna be a play in team tbh

Been a lifelong warriors fan since 1973. I'm exhausted of watching the horrible decisions the organization they make. I'm done. I'm following the talent to Dallas. Go Mavs💪
Alan is 💯% correct, GSW paid draymond who gave the team problems who has an ego and anger management problems and just neglected klay?! I would have paid klay and traded green
Fox’s face at the beginning cause of the tongue twister 😂
Dub Nation will miss you Klay 😢💔.
Thanks for the memories and the 4 chips 🏆.
Laker's....who wants to go play for a circus team, Klay made the common sense move.
Klay from a fan who has stuck with this franchise since I can remember and they were horrible . Front office made the wrong decision . We will suck for at least another decade again😪
Mavs is now my 2nd favorite team!!
AS SOON AS HE SAID THE LAKERS WERENT COMPETITIVE IN THAT SERIOUS I TURNED IT OFF, CAUSE THEY WERE UP EVERY GAME AND LOST ON 2 LAST SECOND SHOTS AND IM NOT A LAKERS FAN
yeah sure the lakers only been in the top 6 in the playoffs once for the past 5 years but the lakers at least have won the championship in 2020. What has dallas have done?
Good analysis from Tim bontemps here
Nuggets face the mavericks in the first round nuggets back in finals and possibly winning it ..
Idc what anyone says they shouldn’t given Draymond anything and let him go how tf you pay Draymond but not Klay I get the recency bias because he ain’t play that good but Klay has done way more for the Warriors than Draymond ever has
Thank you!!! $100 Million contract for Draymond Green- Green has cost the Warriors plenty! 2016 Finals technicals suspension ,Unprofessional Conduct towards teammates: KD, assaulting teammate JPoole, disrespectful towards HC Kerr ( come make me sit down) the foul language spoken inside locker room loud enough for Sports Commentators to hear, 2022 ECF 1st game w/ Memphis Grizzlies ejected from game, constant unnecessary fighting w/ opposing NBA teams, arguing calls w/ referees. Need I say more????
Green opted out his contract in the final year, and immediately saved Dubs ~35M, so his 100M was like 65M! Your guys just don't understand math!
Yep giving draymond green more money would tick me off too
Let’s name all the washed up shooters who betted on themselves, lost the bet, went to another team, was a key contributor, and won a ring, proving all the doubters wrong. I’ll wait.
Wrong . Let’s look at all the successful ones ! Mike miller , Ray Allen , James posey , Shane battier , jr smith , Ryan Anderson , Robert horry , John salley , Derrick fisher , Iman shumpurt. Bro you have no idea what you’re talking about . He joins this list and is going to help them tremendously
I watch every warriors game and have loved Klay for years. He did this to himself. He has been dramatic and makes everything about himself. On the court for the past two years he has made it more about proving himself than benefiting the team. Jacking up terrible shots all over the place and clearly worrying more about his own place than the place of the team. The warriors really did all they could. It’s a good thing they let him walk.
Kyrie, klay, and doncic. This gonna be awesome
Saying the Lakers werent competitive in that denver series just shows how these guys dont know anything they led over 70% of the series every game came down to the last play and lost to 2 game winners
All Facts❤
Yall forgot the pixels
Klay gonna lit it up in Dallas
Absolutely. Clay would never want to play for a coach without coaching experience when he needs to win another championship. Signing JJ simply meant that the Lakers don't want top tier free agents.
I think he made the right choice, but for Bontemps to say the Lakers weren’t competitive when it took 2 game winners for Denver to beat them is just inaccurate.
why is windy blinking so fast like that?
2:38 My man... 😂😂 Speaking the truth on his first and last time on ESPN 😂😂
Saying lakers weren’t competitive in their playoff series is a horrible take even if you hate them
Didn't Kyrie make over 40% from 3 this season?
I’ve been saying this. Yes draymond is their main defensive guy and who can make plays for them but to me he’s not worth 100 million. Sheesh. he’s somewhere around the 60-70 range. Klay should’ve been the main focus as far giving him his money so he can have his mind right and play ball. He’s been thinking about this all season long and was heavily distracted. fresh start in Dallas, watch out. He’ll light everyone out. Especially warriors.
He’s the third option in Dallas. If he isn’t shooting well the first quarter, he won’t see the ball the rest of the night.
Not to mention, the pressure on winning will be way less on Klay as it will mostly be on Luka and Kyrie so he can just keep shooting.
Espn always getting stats wrong 😂 he had 9 seasons shooting over 40% from 3
Brian is wrong. It was because Dubs rejected Lakers' offer of Russell that Klay couldn't go to Lakers and get $80M. An Austin offer would have got it done tho
The Lakers take care of their aging stars.
Magic, Kareem, Kobe and now LeBron.
GSW dont
Oh please. Warriors gave Klay 200 million. You're just a salty Laker fan who's shifting your anger to deflect from the LA retards.
You forgot shaq. 😱
