I will always respect Klay for that 2019 Raptors series, where he was terribly injured but still had the heart to make it back onto the court for his free throws.
Klay has that Mamba mentality ! First class 2 way basketball player that is old school. Top 10 greatest shooters all- time + Great on Defense ! Review ; Draymond gets 4 yrs at $100 Million. Klay offered 2 yrs for $ 48 . Golden State 🏀 That's an insult ! Klay was on those 4 NBA Title teams ; Just like Draymond ! 🏆🏆🏆🏆 I would have been really disgusted with that offer ! Klay your one of my favorites ; Klay will light it up in the NBA next few years . ❤🏀👍🏖
@@awesomecoolguy6515where do you get your info😂 texas is much cheaper than Cali and you get taxed way less that's why joe rogan and all his rich buddies move there lol
Most of this isnt even talking abt the mavericks so he likely just recorded the 30 seconds he did and added it to the pre recorded footage and uploaded
No he is not taking home more after taxes. All players have to pay taxes to states where the games are played. So he is paying less on the 41 games played at home but he took a sizable cut from 24 mil down to 15.5 mil. His state taxes on the 41 home games would have cost between $1-$1.5mil. So Klay left $7 mil per year on the table to play in Dallas.
@@moneyball647 Both these dudes are wrong. Klay's potential contracts are as follows: Dallas: 16.67m per year / 2 (for half games being played at "home" state) = 8.33m - his federal taxes = $5,292,693 GS: 24m per year / 2 (for half games being played at "home" state) = 12m - his federal AND STATES taxes = $6,036,973 He'd be paying an extra $1,567,820 in State income taxes to California, but would keep an extra $744,280 per year on Golden States contract.
@@moneyball647 an easy explanation to the OPs comment is that there is no State Tax in Texas. But that doesnt really matter that much here because these players pay out-of-state-tax in the NBA. To simplify and to not get into math much, what Thompson saves in State Taxes is not really that much when you account for Federal Tax, out-of-state tax, and his actual contract being LOWER than what the Warriors wanted to offer him BEFORE THE SEASON STARTED.
As a lifelong Cavaliers fan back in 2016 I'd never imagined a day where Klay Thompson would be joining Kyrie Irving in Dallas and meanwhile LeBron is playing on the Lakers where he just got his son drafted to. Back in 2016 if u told me this knowledge it would've sent me to outer space but then when you told me James Harden still hasn't won a ring in 2024 it'd bring me right back down to earth id know the future was still realistic
I want warriors to make it back to the playoffs so bad, so they can lose to one of the young team to showcase how much the young guys are taking over the league now, wish kings beat them
I was gonna counter with KD but then I remembered everything. then I was gonna counter with Wiggins, but then I remembered. then I was gonna counter with JP, but then...
THATS WAY BETTER. Hardaway was a HUGE let down this year. Straight trash. Klay was shooting 38%from 3 and scoring 18. Lukas a master at getting guys open on 3s uncontested. That's Klays bread and butter. Luka will get him to his spots.
It’s crazy to me that a player averaging 18ppg on 39% from 3 is considered washed when that player never averaged 25ppg for a season. It’s not like he was a 28ppg guy who dropped 10ppg. His career avg is like 19.5. His defense has fallen because of injuries but offensively he’s not that far off.
@@MuaythaiPGM I watch almost all of the games. He’s always been like that. When he broke the record for threes in a game he was 5-36 from deep to start the year prior to that game. He’s always been up and down ppl just forgot becuz he was gone for two years lol.
As a mavericks fan, this makes no sense for golden state. How will golden state be better next year with the lackluster free agency? But either way, I can’t wait for our team now

🏆🏆🏆Klay Thompson is a true Classy “GOAT”, he will be missed forever, sad sad day for San Francisco, losing a SF Family member hurts.😢 Love you Klay.😭😢😰❤️❤️❤️
Klay is either finna put in some serious work and were gonna see a great second wind from him. OR, hes gonna continue to be cocky thinking "im klay mfin thompson" and continue to decline. Side note, luka or kyrie on them drive and kicks to an Open Klay can be SUPER dangerous if he sees a few go in. But again, it can go the other way too.
People need to realise that Klay's play style has never been overly reliant on the physical aspects that naturally decline as we age. His play style could easily be maintained well into his late 30's.
Yet his shooting average has dropped like a rock in the last two years. He's never recovered from his injuries which is why Jonathan Kaminga took his starter minutes. Thompson is a damaged and aging player just like CP3 is now.
@awesomecoolguy6515 This has more to do with how the offence the warriors has utilised has changed over time and crippled Klay. JJ redick has a great breakdown on it.
Klay was playing with one foot out the door the entire season. He wasn't benched b/c of his very up and down shooting (although that didn't help). He was benched b/c of his bad defense and absolutely horrible decision making at the end of games. You could tell each game, before tip off, if he was going to have a bad game just by his demeanor.
And in fairness to Klay, that’s essentially what PJ Washington has done for Dallas since he got there. PJ Washington in essence was Klay Thompson but a better rebounder in the playoffs for Dallas. This is a good signing for both teams. I hope Klay balls out and has a fresh start with Luka and Kyrie
Klays not washed. He’s just watered down from what he was. 39% from three and 17.9 Ppg is still a very good 3rd option which is what he’ll be for the mavs. His defense isn’t elite anymore since the injuries but it’s still serviceable and the mavs defense is built for the guards to funnel every body into the paint where the bigs can clean up which I’m very sure he’ll heavily benefit from. This is a huge upgrade from the shot chucker THJ and the inconsistent Josh Green.
2 years for 48 million or 3 years for 50 million….. guess Klay’s mathematics are a bit off. As a Golden State Warriors fan, I wish him nothing but the best but he is not what he used to be.
warriors gave way too many bags to everyone after they won the last championship. then they gave up lots of valuable role players to save money to give more bags later on. and then too late realized that this isnt the way to win anymore. now they are getting rid off those bad legacy players, but its all too late because the dont have those good cheap young players anymore. and their experiments didnt pan out either. so now they have too many old players. young players that have been playing support role and have step up to be stars and no one in the trade market to get to make their team better.
Never was a Warriors fan actually hated that team but always was a Klay fan he my 2nd favorite shooter behind Ray but he’s joining The Slash 🔪 bros 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Klay is the best player for Dallas to add in order to get the next level and win a championship and Dallas is the best option for Klay to join if he wants to win another championship. This makes the most sense for everyone involved, especially if he feels like the Warriors didn't give him the respect he deserves
Yessssss ! Klay’s gonna be huge for the mavs, he gonna bring a LOT of experience and ofc is gonna be crucial for the spacing of that team in the playoffs.
I'm a huge GSW fan but I completely understand that his decision to leave GSW is obviously not about the money, but how his value as a huge part of the dynasty was almost put on the gutter. To be quite honest he will definitely fit well along side Luca nd Kyrie, good decision.
The stats aren't the stats. One of Klay's key assets was his defense. He was the three and D man on the GSW. Since the last championship, his D has been weak and momentary. While he might shoot well enough and score some, he continually let opponents by and failed to stop anyone. The pros were only down slightly, but the cons were up substantially.
Klay picked the wrong team for a chip but he picked the right one to punish the golden state warriors cuz they have a lot of bigs to punish the undersized warriors
I respect the heck out of Klay Thompson, but he wasn't holding back, he's washed. There is nothing wrong with that...He had back to back potentially career ending injuries, came back against all odds, and got #4. He's an all-time great, 2nd best shooter to ever live. He's 34...He's old for an NBA player, shoot...he's old for a profesison athlete in any physically demanding sport. I believe in the Bill Walsh theory of "It's better to lose them a year earlythan hold onto them a year late. I hope for him that he finds happiness with the Mavs. He deserves it. What he didn't desrve was the contract he wanted from the Dubs. Farwell for now, Splash Bro, can't wait to see you #11 hanging at Chase. Thank you for 13 years of unbelievable memories.
I think Klay felt so...(clutches pearls) DISRESPECTED by offseason negotiations with the Warriors because they probably were up front and honest, and pointed out he's on the tail end of his career AND his numbers are already dipping. Players see these deals that some guys get and they start seeing $$$. When this happens, IQ drops commensurately. Klay probably asked for $35 mil, and the Warriors didn't flinch. He said, alright, I'm gonna ball out and get paid somewhere else. SPOILER ALERT: he didn't ball out last season. Reality set in and his IQ returned. He realized he's on his way to the bottom of the roller coaster that is the NBA, and rather than swallow his pride and continue on with GS, I think he probably got a whiff of a championship thinking about playing with Luka and Kyrie.
As a Mavs fan I have my doubts if Klay can still be Klay. I'm also surprised he chose the Mavs, given they're not a major market team, but not a small one either.
I guess his feelings just got hurt. Man up, accept that you're a shell of your former self, and grow up. Guy is washed, but can't get over it. Dude needs some therapy. Talk about having an ego.
knowing Kidd he'll still play Klay even when he does play trash 😂. Mavs fans were begging Kidd to bench Powell for years. It took getting Gafford, Pj, and Lively for Powell to get benched. Josh Green played better and still got traded before this man lol. Klay will get hella open shots tho so if he does stink, it'll be on him.
Dallas plays iso ball, not like Warriors constant ball movement, I wonder if Klay is going to be frustrated with that. He's never been the guy to solo people
I think some people are too fixated on the last game 😂 Klay is a great shooter and above average defender. Also great veteran with ton of experience! Homerun for Mavs 🎉
Nico harrison is a GENIUS lmaooo, get them while they low and let luka do his magic, got both kyrie and klay on a down year and luka's gonna make them all-nba caliber players (cause they're already all-star level in my books)
I don't know if this move is going to really help the Mavericks. They just lost in the finals because they didn't have the type of defenders that Boston had, and I'm not sure just by adding Klay will solve that problem. I think the Mavericks needs more hard-nose defenders and not more shooters.
I disagree. Dallas kept an efficient offence averaging 119 offensive rating in the 3 rounds to 107, 105, 106, 84 and 106. The problem was Dallas was unable to score consistently outside of Luka. DJJ and PJ could not capitalize on chances, Kyrie was unable to play in Boston and Dallas had a weak bench. Klay may not be prime Klay, but nor was Ray Allen with Boston or Miami and you would be hard-pressed to make an argument against Ray Allen on those teams. Klay still shot 38ish % from 3 over the last 2 seasons, plays off ball and in Dallas is the third option. This has the potential to be great for Dallas especially if you consider the addition of Grimes and Marshall.
@@ekliptik86you forgot Klay missed important shotsl all season, and know he’s in a even more stressful situation to hit those shots, because if he’s not hitting shots his defense is bad.
Mavs basically replaced hardaway with klay . A nothing for something. Grimes replaces green and naji is a small downgrade to djj for now. Overall Mavs improved for now
@@carl3545 One could make an argument that Klay has a history of hitting more important shots than missing important shots. Yes the past two seasons I don't disagree with your argument. But for someone who's probably shot thousands upon thousands of shots, maybe he needed to get out of Golden State. That's more mental than it is mechanics or physical. He'll be the third option with the Mavs, not expected to be the second or sometimes pick up and be first. Doesn't change the volume of work representing a 38% 3pt shooter and 40% open 3pt shooter. All of which is important to how Dallas plays.
@@carl3545 I would also like to add, defensively Klay is an upgrade over Tim Hardaway JR. So Dallas has potentially upgraded both defensively and offensively. He's going to have a chip on his shoulder next season.
So from what transpired from sign and trade deal, If he'd picked the Lakers, Lakers would have to give up some trade pieces for the signing of klay to l.a ??? Info t think l.a had any trade pieces to offer ???
Maybe rewrite the title. It is misleading. How about, "Klay Thompson is Out For Revenge With the Dallas Mavericks?" Not a GSW fan but do recall Klay missing shots at critical times recently. However, looking at his stats year-to-year he really didn't drop off that much. FG% was on par with previous years, and 3-pt% dropped to 38.7% from just over 40% most of his career. PPG down just 4 pts. He definitely still has the juice if he can stay healthy.
Stephen Curry has the potential to win a championship without Klay Thompson, even though he hasn’t done so yet. With Kevin Durant, he showed his ability to thrive alongside another superstar, adjusting his game to elevate the team. Without Klay, Curry would need to rely more on his leadership, off-ball movement, and deep shooting range. The key will be surrounding him with solid defenders, playmakers, and a deep bench to support his scoring. Curry’s unique gravity on the floor forces defenses to collapse, opening opportunities for others. If the roster is built strategically, he can absolutely lead the Warriors to a title on his own.
The problem with klays numbers is that o warched the games, his shot selection is trash, he thinks he is a DeRozan type player with the tought mid rangers and shut. He's a god doing his thing playing offball to shot or drive. Hope he comes back strong
If Klay can average 16-18 on 39-40% from 3, the Mavs will kill it next season. Klay is about to get the easiest looks hes had since the Warriors 2015-2019 run
It's not gonna happen and hasn't since he came back from his injuries. Even in 2022, Andrew Wiggins was playing defense and Jordan Poole was the other splash brother when GSW won the chip in 2022. Thompson is a damaged and gaining player just like CP3 is these days.
@@awesomecoolguy6515 What are you talking about? He litterally shot 40% from 3 while averaging 19.8 PPG over the last 2 seasons! Even if you only look at last season... 18 PPG on 39% 3P%! Thats all we need, nothing more. Depending on minutes played, even 15 PPG would be more then fine! He just has to be better and more consistent then THJ...not that hard of a task, dont you think? And yes, defensively he isnt what he used to be anymore. I agree. But who knows how he can work in our defensive system. Cause its different from the Warriors. Once more, he just has to be better then THJ, who never was even average defensively in his entire career.
To be honest, Klay isn't a superstar player and everyone knows that. His two injuries have been catching up with him and he can't accept that reality. He could've just stayed with the team and mentored the younger players like that guy who was 1st All-Rookie team. He better just hope that this is something that he'll regret. But this move looks promising for him.
Klay still has a career 3pt % of 41 curry is 42 Brandon the man they benched klay for is 37 they messed up without klay they aren't a champion team anymore
I’ve lived in Dallas my whole life. We have a nice little saying “it’s a great place to live, but I wouldn’t want to visit.”. Our media is very friendly to athletes and don’t harass them too much and the Mavericks organization is known to be very family-ish. I think that can be very appealing along with the lower taxes. Though I have to admit our properties taxes initially insane right now. I think Kyrie Irving also swayed him.
0-10clunker🤣🤣🤣🤣 stupid move signing with dallas... what kind of role would he play? There are Irving and Doncic who are shooters. Adding another shooter? what if his ego got hurth again if he didnt get enough balls in Dallas ehh?? He should go try nuggets and celtics man... better HC than Kidd/
Enjoy that toxic attitude, Dallas. I respect Klay for coming back from injury, but he changed forever because of it. Guy just can't accept that nobody beats Father Time and did nothing to adjust to it. Sure, you'll get a couple of "game 6 Klay" moments, but that's it.
I will always respect Klay for that 2019 Raptors series, where he was terribly injured but still had the heart to make it back onto the court for his free throws.

First time comment, I totally agree with you about Klay. Can't wait to see him play with the Mavs. Not a fan but he's got game.
Klay also led the entire league in free throw percentage at 92% so he was the best free-throw shooter last season.

Never was a Warriors fan actually hated that team but always was a Klay fan he my 2nd favorite shooter behind Ray but he’s joining The Slash 🔪 bros 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Klay can teach Luka how to wear a headband
Klay is the best player for Dallas to add in order to get the next level and win a championship and Dallas is the best option for Klay to join if he wants to win another championship. This makes the most sense for everyone involved, especially if he feels like the Warriors didn't give him the respect he deserves
yes
Yessssss ! Klay’s gonna be huge for the mavs, he gonna bring a LOT of experience and ofc is gonna be crucial for the spacing of that team in the playoffs.
I'm a huge GSW fan but I completely understand that his decision to leave GSW is obviously not about the money, but how his value as a huge part of the dynasty was almost put on the gutter. To be quite honest he will definitely fit well along side Luca nd Kyrie, good decision.
people so quick to forget that after the Warriors 4th championship their GM stepped down so ofc nothing has been the same since..
Korzemba back!
Appreciate you brother
The stats aren't the stats. One of Klay's key assets was his defense. He was the three and D man on the GSW. Since the last championship, his D has been weak and momentary. While he might shoot well enough and score some, he continually let opponents by and failed to stop anyone.
The pros were only down slightly, but the cons were up substantially.
Klay picked the wrong team for a chip but he picked the right one to punish the golden state warriors cuz they have a lot of bigs to punish the undersized warriors
I respect the heck out of Klay Thompson, but he wasn't holding back, he's washed. There is nothing wrong with that...He had back to back potentially career ending injuries, came back against all odds, and got #4. He's an all-time great, 2nd best shooter to ever live. He's 34...He's old for an NBA player, shoot...he's old for a profesison athlete in any physically demanding sport. I believe in the Bill Walsh theory of "It's better to lose them a year earlythan hold onto them a year late. I hope for him that he finds happiness with the Mavs. He deserves it. What he didn't desrve was the contract he wanted from the Dubs. Farwell for now, Splash Bro, can't wait to see you #11 hanging at Chase. Thank you for 13 years of unbelievable memories.
I think Klay felt so...(clutches pearls) DISRESPECTED by offseason negotiations with the Warriors because they probably were up front and honest, and pointed out he's on the tail end of his career AND his numbers are already dipping. Players see these deals that some guys get and they start seeing $$$. When this happens, IQ drops commensurately. Klay probably asked for $35 mil, and the Warriors didn't flinch. He said, alright, I'm gonna ball out and get paid somewhere else. SPOILER ALERT: he didn't ball out last season. Reality set in and his IQ returned. He realized he's on his way to the bottom of the roller coaster that is the NBA, and rather than swallow his pride and continue on with GS, I think he probably got a whiff of a championship thinking about playing with Luka and Kyrie.
As a Mavs fan I have my doubts if Klay can still be Klay. I'm also surprised he chose the Mavs, given they're not a major market team, but not a small one either.
Klay obviously needed a change. It happens. Maybe a fresh start will help him. Plus the Mavs went to the finals, it's a better shot at a ring.
Cmon! Yall should have seen this coming the day Bob Myers left. It was a big sign that huge changes were gonna happen.
Ughhhhhhhhhh I wanted Wiggins to leave…. Why is Klay gone before him….
I guess his feelings just got hurt.
Man up, accept that you're a shell of your former self, and grow up. Guy is washed, but can't get over it. Dude needs some therapy.
Talk about having an ego.
Wrong title..u should put :" out for revenge against the warriors or out for revenge for the mavs"
Watch Dallas bench him as soon as he doesn't deliver lmao. 😢
Hating
Yall were saying the same thing about Kai when he was first headed to dallas.
Stop the fake sympathy
😂
Yeah… that’s kinda what happens when someone getting paid millions doesn’t do their only job 💀
knowing Kidd he'll still play Klay even when he does play trash 😂. Mavs fans were begging Kidd to bench Powell for years. It took getting Gafford, Pj, and Lively for Powell to get benched. Josh Green played better and still got traded before this man lol. Klay will get hella open shots tho so if he does stink, it'll be on him.
Golden State will always love klay through and through. I just became a minor Mavs fan
The enviroment in Dallas will bring out the elite Klay we all know. Mavs going back to the finals bet on it
Klay Winning his 5th ring in Dallas is crazy
The title of this video is very poorly worded
As a GSW Klay got all the respect got to get on the floor even while going 0/11 like idk why he leaving but it has to be some behind closed doors.
This move is not going to do anything. Unfortunately I hate to say.
after that last game in a warriors jersey.... I hope he returns to previous form for mavs sake
Mavs basically traded hardaway jr for klay, good move
The Mavs will be mid,if klay was that good he would be in the bay
Oh... I can't wait to watch him in a Mavs uniform! Go Mavs!
Don't play yourself.... Andrew Wiggins & Jordan Poole won that Chip for them. If you really think Klay is better than Ray Allen... You're delusional 😂
They paid Green, and they're not paying Klay
I totally believe he was holding back last season!
The fact that we kept LeDraymond but broke up the splash bros just makes me sick. Especially since he signed for so cheap.
Dallas plays iso ball, not like Warriors constant ball movement, I wonder if Klay is going to be frustrated with that. He's never been the guy to solo people
I also don't think Klay is being honest with himself about his current ability. Whenever someone points out his decline he gets very angry.
Klay Thompson: No more Mr Nice Klay!
He could’ve had $48 million for two years while staying with Golden State. Respect? Sounds like foolish pride.
Well said. He got greedy and too big for his britches.
Dallas is about to get a new stadium from all the bricks that Klay gonna throw
I think some people are too fixated on the last game 😂 Klay is a great shooter and above average defender. Also great veteran with ton of experience! Homerun for Mavs 🎉
Much love from China! ❤❤❤❤
Nico harrison is a GENIUS lmaooo, get them while they low and let luka do his magic, got both kyrie and klay on a down year and luka's gonna make them all-nba caliber players (cause they're already all-star level in my books)
I don't know if this move is going to really help the Mavericks. They just lost in the finals because they didn't have the type of defenders that Boston had, and I'm not sure just by adding Klay will solve that problem. I think the Mavericks needs more hard-nose defenders and not more shooters.
I disagree.
Dallas kept an efficient offence averaging 119 offensive rating in the 3 rounds to 107, 105, 106, 84 and 106. The problem was Dallas was unable to score consistently outside of Luka.
DJJ and PJ could not capitalize on chances, Kyrie was unable to play in Boston and Dallas had a weak bench.
Klay may not be prime Klay, but nor was Ray Allen with Boston or Miami and you would be hard-pressed to make an argument against Ray Allen on those teams.
Klay still shot 38ish % from 3 over the last 2 seasons, plays off ball and in Dallas is the third option. This has the potential to be great for Dallas especially if you consider the addition of Grimes and Marshall.
@@ekliptik86you forgot Klay missed important shotsl all season, and know he’s in a even more stressful situation to hit those shots, because if he’s not hitting shots his defense is bad.
Mavs basically replaced hardaway with klay . A nothing for something. Grimes replaces green and naji is a small downgrade to djj for now. Overall Mavs improved for now
@@carl3545 One could make an argument that Klay has a history of hitting more important shots than missing important shots. Yes the past two seasons I don't disagree with your argument.
But for someone who's probably shot thousands upon thousands of shots, maybe he needed to get out of Golden State. That's more mental than it is mechanics or physical. He'll be the third option with the Mavs, not expected to be the second or sometimes pick up and be first.
Doesn't change the volume of work representing a 38% 3pt shooter and 40% open 3pt shooter. All of which is important to how Dallas plays.
@@carl3545 I would also like to add, defensively Klay is an upgrade over Tim Hardaway JR. So Dallas has potentially upgraded both defensively and offensively.
He's going to have a chip on his shoulder next season.
So from what transpired from sign and trade deal,
If he'd picked the Lakers,
Lakers would have to give up some trade pieces for the signing of klay to l.a ???
Info t think l.a had any trade pieces to offer ???
Maybe rewrite the title. It is misleading. How about, "Klay Thompson is Out For Revenge With the Dallas Mavericks?"
Not a GSW fan but do recall Klay missing shots at critical times recently. However, looking at his stats year-to-year he really didn't drop off that much. FG% was on par with previous years, and 3-pt% dropped to 38.7% from just over 40% most of his career. PPG down just 4 pts. He definitely still has the juice if he can stay healthy.
New team new number
2 year 48M❌
3 year 50M✅
Stephen Curry has the potential to win a championship without Klay Thompson, even though he hasn’t done so yet. With Kevin Durant, he showed his ability to thrive alongside another superstar, adjusting his game to elevate the team. Without Klay, Curry would need to rely more on his leadership, off-ball movement, and deep shooting range. The key will be surrounding him with solid defenders, playmakers, and a deep bench to support his scoring. Curry’s unique gravity on the floor forces defenses to collapse, opening opportunities for others. If the roster is built strategically, he can absolutely lead the Warriors to a title on his own.
The problem with klays numbers is that o warched the games, his shot selection is trash, he thinks he is a DeRozan type player with the tought mid rangers and shut. He's a god doing his thing playing offball to shot or drive. Hope he comes back strong
Dallas vs Warriors gonna go crazy 🔥
Klay wants the reimagined awakener that effect Kai when he joined with luka in Dallas Mavericks
Just grab Hyun Jung Lee (the discount made in Korea Klay)
Bro is grinding!
very good match
If Klay can average 16-18 on 39-40% from 3, the Mavs will kill it next season. Klay is about to get the easiest looks hes had since the Warriors 2015-2019 run
It's not gonna happen and hasn't since he came back from his injuries. Even in 2022, Andrew Wiggins was playing defense and Jordan Poole was the other splash brother when GSW won the chip in 2022. Thompson is a damaged and gaining player just like CP3 is these days.
@@awesomecoolguy6515that literally happened for Klay in this past season? 😂
@@awesomecoolguy6515 What are you talking about? He litterally shot 40% from 3 while averaging 19.8 PPG over the last 2 seasons! Even if you only look at last season... 18 PPG on 39% 3P%! Thats all we need, nothing more. Depending on minutes played, even 15 PPG would be more then fine! He just has to be better and more consistent then THJ...not that hard of a task, dont you think?
And yes, defensively he isnt what he used to be anymore. I agree. But who knows how he can work in our defensive system. Cause its different from the Warriors. Once more, he just has to be better then THJ, who never was even average defensively in his entire career.
Recency bias at its best. The warriors were bad overall. Let’s see how his numbers boost a team led by Luka and Kyrie.
Klay was asked to be the number 2 option on a team that had difficulty spacing the floor outside of Curry. It will be a more comfortable fit.
No more Splash Brothers.
As always, we learn absolutely nothing from Mike.
Trash brothers
@@roamin_candle743 your response doesn't even make sense bro. Whole video is about Klay leaving. Did you even watch the video, or are you just deaf?
They were overrated anyway. Luka Droncic is better than Stephen Curry ever was
@@rektz2457I’m a mavs fan but Luka rn is not close to prime curry
Give it up Mike klay will average barley 12pts it’s over d rose is more valuable than him or randle lol
To be honest, Klay isn't a superstar player and everyone knows that. His two injuries have been catching up with him and he can't accept that reality. He could've just stayed with the team and mentored the younger players like that guy who was 1st All-Rookie team. He better just hope that this is something that he'll regret. But this move looks promising for him.
No celtic’s vids Mike? 🤔🤨🧐
Do we ever had a shooting vet like Klay? lol
Klay still has a career 3pt % of 41 curry is 42 Brandon the man they benched klay for is 37 they messed up without klay they aren't a champion team anymore
The warriors paid him max contract for the two years that he sat out, they treated him like royalty.
Really like Klay.... but this is a mistake, for both Klay and Dallas. This will be the Klay Thompson of 2024/25... not the Klay of 2014/15/16.
I’ve lived in Dallas my whole life. We have a nice little saying “it’s a great place to live, but I wouldn’t want to visit.”. Our media is very friendly to athletes and don’t harass them too much and the Mavericks organization is known to be very family-ish. I think that can be very appealing along with the lower taxes. Though I have to admit our properties taxes initially insane right now. I think Kyrie Irving also swayed him.
0-10clunker🤣🤣🤣🤣 stupid move signing with dallas... what kind of role would he play? There are Irving and Doncic who are shooters. Adding another shooter? what if his ego got hurth again if he didnt get enough balls in Dallas ehh?? He should go try nuggets and celtics man... better HC than Kidd/
Enjoy that toxic attitude, Dallas. I respect Klay for coming back from injury, but he changed forever because of it. Guy just can't accept that nobody beats Father Time and did nothing to adjust to it. Sure, you'll get a couple of "game 6 Klay" moments, but that's it.
