    What happened to Andrew Wiggins? He's been missing for two seasons now.

      He has personal issues going on.

    They should definitely bring him back on an affordable deal and make him the full time 6 man. Those starter days are over. Move Wiggins and paul

      @augustoventuradossantos4869 14 днів тому +5

      The question is: Will Klay acept be a role player or a 6 man? i don't think so... He's still shooting the second more.number of shots when he is on the court, despite his ineficient.. Unfortunely, he can't acept the fact that he is not a superstar anymore... This is hurting the team a lot.

    • @shyamnatarajan5149

      Klay already stared at the Kings crowds for one last time as a Warrior. He knows he ain't coming back next season.

    GS already did Klay a solid by giving him a max contract after he got injured in 2019, but he's proven that he is no longer a superstar, time to cut ties with him and Draymond.

  • @dasher920
    @dasher920 14 днів тому +5

    The Warriors gave Klay Thompson everything while he was injured during a contract year and gave him the max, not knowing if he would come back to being himself again or come back at all… So they are even
    If anything, give him a two-year contract that will expire the same time Steph Curry contract expires and then go from there

    People acting like Klay Thompson was supposed to be a all-star for 15 years.
    They are surprise that he his declining after being a star for 10 years

    Klay is a major reason why the Warriors franchise is currently the most valuable in the NBA. He still averages 18 points a game. Not many SGs have that average a game.

      Bad efficiency, bad defense, and old.

    • @Smallvillefreak
      @Smallvillefreak 14 днів тому +11

      And he’s been paid handsomely for that production. They OWE him nothing else beyond his current contract. I’m so sick of teams being told they owe a player anything beyond the contract they signed.

    • @bradleydorsey8623

      18 points on the volume in which he shoots it most nights in not good.

  • @davidwilliamson8502
    @davidwilliamson8502 11 днів тому

    People forget that the GSW owner had to pay an ADDITIONAL $150 million fine ON TOP of the max contracts they paid Steph and Klay because of the max contract they gave to Klay. That was a poor investment.

  • @jaylighten2641

    I agree with SAS my only issue is that players get slighted for doing the same thing.

  • @adingdingdiiing6740
    @adingdingdiiing6740 13 днів тому +1

    Whatever they owed him, they paid for it. In millions! Klay is already a couple of years removed from his injury so we can't keep on using the injury excuse for him. Heck, he won a chip post injury.

  • @TheRulersBack18

    lowkey, klay saved steph again. by going 0-10, no one is talking about steph's 6 turnovers or his inability to guard any of the kings. w teammate

    If I’m the Warriors I offer Klay a 2 year $40M deal. If he declines, he can go play for the Taiwan Eggrolls. His choice.

    Time for warriors to get younger and see what the younger players on the team can do. Of course u can bring back klay on a cheaper deal.

  • @saafirbirchett4073
    @saafirbirchett4073 14 днів тому +1

    I think legler hit the nail on the head, FOR THE RIGHT PRICE. I think klay can still be a solid player on a contending team, he averaged 18 this season. But I think as a starter, he’s not a starter anymore, and if he takes a reserved role coming off the bench, i think he can be a microwave type player. And if I’m the warriors I think the peak # I’d pay would be 12-14 mil a year but nothing more

    Klay hasn’t been same since the 2 major injuries he suffered. He should stay in GS because he’s a Warrior for life but something tells me he’s leaving GS for a bigger bag

    I think Kuminga could be that second guy.

  • @jamesbaker9481
    @jamesbaker9481 14 днів тому

    Agreed. But, that also doesn't mean to do him dirty either now. The least they can do and should do would be to keep him in the loop on what they want to do with his contract. If they have plans to trade him, ask him where he'd like to go and try to facilitate that if it benefits the team. But don't Isiah Thomas him cause that would be dirty and cost future free agents to cross GS off as destination.

    @adamscott7492 14 днів тому

    Klay Thompson is worth 16 million per year! He needs to realize he's not that player he once was. He needs to come off the bench. Secondly, Warriors need to get rid of CP3 and andrew Wiggins. Third, Warriors need to sign demar derozan, lonnie walker and trade for mikal bridges.

  • @rbermea
