REPORT: Klay Thompson UPSET With Draymond Green Ahead Of 2024 Free Agency | Warriors Rumors
another great show coming your way on today’s Golden State Warriors today but unfortunately we do have to pass along some sad and unfortunate news the logo the legend Jerry West passing away today at the age of 86 of course as a player he was with the Los Angeles Lakers from 1960 through 1974 former second overall pick and I just want to read out his resume as a Player NBA champion in 72 long awaited NBA finals MVP 14 time NBA Allstar All-Star game MVP a 10 time all NBA first teamer you get the point but he was also a great architect of some of the great Golden State Warriors teams and helped this organization reach New Heights in winning NBA championships there are few people in the history of basketball Who Loved hoop more than Jerry West so instrumental to Golden State’s Championship success like today’s video to pay respect to an absolute legend by hitting that thumbs up icon liking the video right now rip Jerry West you can’t write the history of basketball or the NBA without him and of course the logo that you see it is Jerry West with that let’s start Today’s Show I’m Chase senior this is Warriors today thanks for hanging out here with the and we begin with this according to a report Klay Thompson is pissed off at Draymond Green this is nothing new for Draymond Green obviously he’s rubbed a lot of people the wrong way from players on the opposing team to Kevin Durant and others but for Klay Thompson little bit surprising if this is true because Klay Thompson is a mild mannered cat who likes to swim in the bay take his boat out usually he’s cool C and collected but what could have happened for Draymond Green to piss off Klay Thompson draymond’s comment Klay touris ACL they paid him $160 million Klay Thompson probably hears that he reads that and says well hold on we don’t win those titles if I’m not a part of that team and you think that I’m just given that that I didn’t earn it keep in mind these guys are Uber competitive right Cutthroat assassins that’s what it takes to be a 1center and a professional athlete that’s what it takes to be some of the greatest players of all time right so a little comment like that can rub somebody the wrong way there’s an Unwritten rule it’s considered taboo for NBA players to discuss contracts and what others make and Klay Thompson according to a report took offense to that there’s also this this is coming from your boy right here you don’t talk about another man’s Pockets here’s what clay had to say during his exit interview on April 17th let’s revisit that well you could imagine if they didn’t pay me after I got hurt that would have been really bad five straight finals and you blow your knee out yeah sorry I think Klay Thompson is in a spot couple of Seasons that he missed due to injury the ACL and then the Achilles he comes back little bit of a rough go helped the Warriors win an NBA championship his numbers the last two seasons have been solid but then in the playoffs he’s had some Clunkers clay wants to be believed in clay wants to be wanted he wants to be wanted by the organization that drafted him and then has overseen his development and him turning into one of the best two-way players and shooters that we’ve ever seen in the history of basketball now as for Klay Thompson’s Market even though he’s older has the injury history still think he’s going to have a pretty rich Market in NBA free agency ESP especially from some teams who are on the precipice of either making a deeper playoff run or competing for an NBA championship what are the Orlando Magic need they have the young star and Paulo benero you have France vager Vagner a couple of other really good pieces in the playoffs against Cleveland they were ice cold from Deep what’s Klay Topson specialty shooting The Rock Oklahoma City Thunder they could have used another rotation piece and that calming veteran presence against the Dall Al Mavericks when they were getting blitzed late in games by Luca donic and Kyrie Irving Klay Thompson there that works out they can pay him and he can chase the title then you have the Philadelphia 76ers can you imagine how many open looks Kay could get playing alongside Tyrese Maxi and Joel embiid he’d be able to cook now there’s been no notable movement on contract talks with golden state it’s the other teams outside of the Warriors who are really showing interest in paying clay and wanting clay and I imagine that rubs him some type of way now Anthony Slater of the athletic with the newer update Klay Thompson appears ready to test free agency Waters shoot I’m working here at chat sports I came here as employee number eight in March of 2021 helped build the company up to 30 employees a couple of different offices a couple of different expansions here as far as Studios go I want to be wanted here if I didn’t feel wanted I would feel some type of way the good thing is I feel wanted and I can continue to give you content here on Golden State Warriors today the Warriors want to resign clay at the right price and they’re in a situation here to be serious where they don’t have a lot of financial Capital this is a roster that has gotten older it’s gotten lighter as far as depth they don’t have as much money as they’ve had in recent years and then you have ownership not really wanting to dip into the luxury tax and they’re talking about aprons here it’s not a great situation Golden State spent 384 million in 2023 2024 to get bounced by the Sacramento Kings in the playin tournament not a good luck they enter July with the $137 million on the books if Chris Paul and cavon Looney are waved $677 million in luxury tax payments since 2014 you’re Joe lob and you’re like yo my P are hurting a little bit so what do you think let’s tea up this poll question what does your gut say do you think that Klay Thompson returns to Golden State give me a simple y for yes or an N for no coming up around the bend will clay stay or go let’s further this conversation don’t you dare go anywhere because right now I want to tell you about this great deal thanks to our friends at Fanatics Warriors draft hats are on sale right now if you go to chatsports.com Warriors draft hats if you want the classic New Era flat brim you’re in luck but if that looks funky on your head because head size and shape matters when you’re wearing a hat believe me I’m a big hat guy you have Dad hats available too with the bent rim maybe it fits your head a little bit better both of those hats on sale right now Warriors draft hats at chatsports.com Warriors draft hats we’ll put that link attached to the pin comment and in the show notes of today’s video this is certainly a a confusing situation between Golden State and Klay Thompson you’re wanting to build a championship Contender you want to take advantage of Steph Curry still being in the midst of his prime it’s also emotional to think about moving on from clay when he’s helped bring you for Larry obes now Draymond has said he wants Klay Thompson back next year and I don’t think that what Draymond said is going to keep Klay Thompson from signing with golden state you hash it out you take down some wine you smoke some cigars in California you can smoke something else maybe Klay Thompson takes you out onto the boat and you can have a good time and you can hash out your differences this is what Draymond had to say about his counterpart I ultimately hope that he’s back here that we can all close this thing out together the way that we’ve done it continue to chase after the things we know are out there for us which is winning championships continuing to bring more success to a franchise than anyone can imagine besides Joe LOB Jo definitely imagined but nobody else really imagined having this level of sustained success and as I noted a little bit earlier it’s important to bring this point back up and why the Warriors might be realistically looking at moving on from Klay Thompson Joe lob wants to be under the luxury tax so what could happen here some moves that we know are going to happen which ones are going to take place you cut cavon Looney you cut Chris Paul that’s 100 $37 million right there Joe lob if you want to give me some of that I’ll take it Klay Thompson resigns for $20 million per year that might be below what he gets from other teams that’s $157 million the salary left to sign free agents 14 mil you’re talking about a lot of vetman deals in which the cash flow is a little bit tight so could lob cough up a little bit more money my response to Joe lob would be this come on homie you’ve made a lot of bread you are still very rich the Golden State Warriors have been an absolute Cash Cow you have won four titles you have Steph Curry on your team Steph Curry is still hooping he’s still balling he’s still Elite top five player in the NBA you put some better pieces around him you can get back to Championship contention but right now your team simply is not good enough with the way that it’s constructed to do that so go into the luxury tax don’t worry about having to stay under that tax Chase championships and continue to be a champion don’t be scared here’s what Slater had to say about Clay’s free agency furthermore on top of what we passed along a little bit earlier the one thing people do say about Joe lob is at the end of the day he usually does up the money to the point that it will keep the franchisees Legends around so Joe lob what did I just get done telling you pay up if you have to pay up again it’s going to be up to Clay Thompson because the Warriors hey clay we love you we want to hold on to you let’s keep this court together 20 million per year Orlando Magic might say we’re thirsty we just got to taste a playoff success we like our team we need three-point shooting here’s 30 mil per year Philadelphia 76ers haven’t made it past the second round since 2001 Klay Thompson we need your leadership on this basketball team come here we’ll Pony up we have the most cap space in the NBA it is clear because of that because he has suitors Klay Thompson is willing and probably wants to test his Market to see what he can get and anybody has the right to do that if you’re not wanted by your employer right now you’re probably on indeed you’re probably on LinkedIn looking for other jobs because you want to be wanted if you’re in a relationship with somebody who doesn’t like you you’re probably on hinge looking at some other options because you want to be loved and you want to have your needs met right basketball life dating it can all coincide teams with reported interest in Clay Thompson the teams that we talked about magic Thunder Philadelphia those are the three teams that I think are going to be hot and heavy for the services of Klay Topson this offseason and then you go back to Anthony Slater is that the situation with Clay remains very unsettled behind the scenes and again I’ve kind of worked our way up to this quote from Anthony Slater the things that we’ve talked about have led to an unsettling situation you see what I’ve been getting at throughout the entire show I’m just trying to make you think here and then there’s Marcus Thompson who’s written books on the Warriors Dynasty I don’t think it’s looking good for him coming back I think he’s going to get a bunch of money thrown at him and then clay has to decide so this situation continues to be very very interesting between the Warriors and Klay Thompson producer chip queue up the YouTube shorts camera and I want to go off here for about 60 seconds what is going to happen between the Golden State Warriors and Klay Thompson this off season it’s really the big question for this basketball team if I had to guess Klay Thompson is going to have a lucrative Market he’s a four-time NBA champion still a really good shooter still defending at a high level and there are teams like Oklahoma City the Orlando Magic the Philadelphia 76ers who have money and a need for clay the Warriors they might want to move on because they’re cash strapped and don’t have as much of a role for Klay Thompson and the money thing is real Klay Thompson has an opportunity for the final time to really cash in so unless the Warrior’s price is a little bit lower I could see clay going to another team like the teams that we mentioned Orlando OKC Philly where he can make more de and still Chase an NBA championship we round out with this give me me a number how much money would you offer clay in 2024 free agency you’re in the shoes of Mike dun leevy Jr and it’s really up to you Joe lob has given you permission to do what you got to do before we hop on out of here make sure you subscribe to the show we’re cooking up Warriors videos basically every day at this point because the story lines are cooking up thanks for watching the show we’ll catch you tomorrow here on Warriors today oh [Music]

Do you think Klay Thompson returns to Golden State? Type ‘Y’ for Yes, ‘N’ for No
The whole two years Klay Thompson was injured. The Warriors was paying him and he wasn’t injured for two years and barely did anything get rid of him.
And it is a business at the end of the day
We all know where it's coming from right? He just doesn't want his boy to leave. I've even told myself the same thing dray said our loud. Note! I said it to myself so I know what dray’s thoughts now, the same as mine! up, okay klay might leave if he took it that way. Klay just exposed himself 😔
Klay just leave the Warriors, he wants to stay but how low can you go, they are offering him really low like slap on his face. Klay go if you must go. Good luck we always love you.
Like 👍 Number 95 Comment Number 50.
Drafted Klay Thompson. Recommended hiring Steve Kerr. RIP Jerry West.
Discard KT, CP3, GP2, KL. Acquire 2 centers taller than 6 feet and 9 inches.
The level of intellectual rigor displayed in this thread is impressive. It's like being in a virtual think tank.🐱
Klay was garbage this past season. 0 points vs Kings in play in game. He needs to get over himself, and isn't worth it now.
Klay wants to be overpaid when he is no longer what he used to be . Also, they warriors already took care of him.
Considering Wiggins and Drays previous deals, I’m expecting $25M per year.
Y
I think Draymond needs to shut his mouth. He cost them a championship. This year, he was probably the reason they were in the play in . By the way, I think we give Steph too much credit for those titles.
The question is who can replace his point production
Klay was Ice Cold against Sacramento, wasn't he?
25mil
Y’all really think Klay was worse than Wiggins this season? Wiggs in his Prime supposed to rise to about 22ppg. 13ppg a game cmon bruh that shit weak asf. Blame Wiggs
He needs to follow what Nowitzki did
I really hope he goes to the Orlando Magic and win championships in Florida !!!!!
So you’re using a statement from April 17th for today? You do know we’re in June right ? So how is this recent?
I'm with Klay. Draymond was out of line.
This is why Green should've been let go this season!!! Missing games NBA finals due to silly fouls, punching teammates, and headbanging other players and missing chunks of the regular season games, and hanging out with no Warriors players…
Brickson is an ego maniac! I can't wait for the Chokerriors to get rid of him! How I wish Adam Silver will let us make a sign and trade!
RIP Jerry West. Without him, I dont think the Warriors has those four titles. He's the architect of why the core stayed together.
Klay focus should be on his health and his game, everything else is a distraction.
Klay should go so If warriors getting lose there no klay to blame, let see how good your young talented players
Get rid of wiggins!!
If not for BigMouth23's stvpid acts the GS would not have to play the PlayIn to qualify. For 2023-2024 season, BigMouth's marks:
– 4 ejections
– 13 techs
– 2 suspension
– missed 16 games because of on-court altercation.
– career wise: 150 technicals, 19 ejections
To me he caused a lot to the team now – 3 to 1 during that Final and he acted to make himself suspended. Only to be announcing to the world he is best buddy to LeFlopJames.
And for Rocco, he will never be back to his old form. HE TOTALLY FORGOT TO PLAY HIS BASKETBALL.If he will stay, that rumored 20m/year for 2 tears + limited minutes on a 2nd unit role will be good for him. Unless GS want another 10eggs in a game from him.
Where is barefoot?
Bro ya reaching wtf is this ..
Let Klay find new Team that needs his skills which is not evident during the last 2 seasons of his comeback
I think everyone wants Klay to return but the salary cap/tax situation makes it tough to match offers from teams with better cap situations, plus no longer being a guaranteed starter has definitely lessened his value to the Warriors and considering his reduced production/efficiency that's also true for the free agency market. I think Klay and the front office will ultimately work out a deal to keep him in the bay, but if he decides to leave for whatever reason I wish him all the luck in the world and will be sad to see him playing elsewhere, but the franchise is bigger than anyone (including Steph) and will always exist no matter who is or isn't on the roster. Go Dubs!
