  • I canโ€™t wait for the documentary on this dynasty years later so we can get more context from the players
  • @m16chi
    The Bob Myers J Cole comparison was spot on๐Ÿ˜‚
  • @slice_4
    Charles Barkley was so right about Bob Myers really jumping of the ship before it really sunk๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚
  • @Nsaki1
    Warriors offered Klay 48 million for 2 years after paying him 43 million a year for 2 years of rehab. Klay turned it down. Seems to me is that Klay was not willing to work with the needs of the Warriors after they did the right thing, patiently waiting for him to return "not trading him" and paying him a lot in that rehab time. No respect???? Hardly....... Klay has been pouting and complaining for the last 5 years. Its time for everyone to move on. Klay wants his bag and the Warriors are not willing to make that sacrifice or take the risk that Klay will get hurt again and they will again be paying for his rehab.....so someone else has to provide the bag and take that risk. Klay went 0-10 in his last playoff game....... Chris Paul and Klay with a combined salary of 73 million dollars combined for 7 points in their last playoff game. Warriors have to move On.......
  • Windy is thinking to himself "how in da F did I get stuck with this panel rotation???" LMFAO...besides Lowe the rest of them are viewing everything through rose colored glasses, he said it best Klay bet on himself and he lost, they didn't disrespect him they offered to pay him $24 a year...Klay would have been a perfect Laker with the amount of pissing and moaning he does!
  • This is hilarious. Everyone of these guys talking were saying Clay was doing badly last year. Now there turning around and starting a new narrative ๐Ÿ™„
  • @rochester3
    Everybody is looking out for themselves at the end of the day
  • That's why Bob Myers left before it came to this ...he wanted no part lol
  • @oaktree1626
    Kendrick with the wrong cast to make a 5 Heartbeats reference ๐Ÿ˜‚
  • Keep shooting klay!! Thanks for all the great memories with the dubs!! Truly a blessing watching you 3 for all these years!!
  • @tonybayarea
    Just hope that Klay Thompson doesn't look at the Golden State Warriors & Steph Curry, the same way Scottie Pippen looks at Michael Jordan and the Chicago Bulls. 10, 15 years or so years from now. Scottie hasn't been back to the Bulls Arena since The Last Dance Doc came out (2020) and doesn't talk to MJ anymore.
  • Klay left because the Warriors rewarded draymond with 100m for 4 years after knocking out pool and getting suspended twice this season. Klay got all the heat from them not making the playoffs while playing 77 games. Draymond got suspended twice missing 20 games.
  • @DateMike22
    Dub Nation will miss you Klay ๐Ÿ˜ข. Thanks for the memories and the 4 chips ๐Ÿ†.
  • WINDY and LOWE'S insights are sensible and on point. BIG PERK and JEFFERSON are entitled to their opinion, but i disagree with them. KLAY was compensated well (80M/2yrs; he didn't play a single game) while he was recovering/rehabbing from 2 career threatening injuries. DUBS offered him 48M/2yrs, he declined it, wants 35M/yr for 3yrs, DUBS rejected it, and decided to play for the MAVS for 50M/3yrs. He wasn't DISRESPECTED by the DUBS. He didn't play well in the past 2yrs, particularly in the PLAYOFFS. KLAY'S drama started when he DISTRACTED himself by paying attention to TOP PLAYERS getting MAX CONTRACTS, and wanting to get the BAG ๐Ÿ’ฐ from DUBS MANAGEMENT upon expiration of his contract. He played HOT and COLD (he SHOT INCONSISTENTLY; he STARTED BADLY, his FG% were CAREER LOWS, before it improved and went up near mid season. In his LAST PLAYOFF GAME, when KINGS eliminated the DUBS, he went 0/10 ๐Ÿฃ). KLAY is too proud and can't accept his GAME has diminished. When he's SHOOTING BAD, he gets FRUSTRATED, LOSES his FOCUS/PATIENCE/CONFIDENCE, and his GAME falls apart. KLAY'S MINDSET is VULNERABLE when DISTRACTED by PERSONAL ISSUES which affects his GAME. HE has nobody else to BLAME but HIMSELF. His MINDSET should be LASER FOCUSED STRONG. KLAY is among NBA'S ELITE SHARPSHOOTER'S and is still capable of being an EXPLOSIVE SCORER. The BASIS if he's deserving of the BAG ๐Ÿ’ฐ from DUBS MANAGEMENT is his PERFORMANCE the past 2yrs. Does KLAY deserve the 35M/yr for 3yrs NEW CONTRACT he's asking? The LOGICAL ANSWER is NO. BEST of LUCK to KLAY with the MAVS. This FRESH START will be GOOD for HIM ๐ŸŽฏ
  • Draymond is the reason this dynasty got destroyed. First he got suspended in the finals to lose against lebron, than made KD leave, KO'd Poole, force his contract by threatening the organization with an opt out got 100mill, got suspended twice that season. Now klay leaving.
  • Gotta remember California tax gonna take nearly half of that ๐Ÿ’€ while Texas doesnโ€™t have state income tax
  • @Curteezy
    GS offered Klay 2 million ๐Ÿ’ต a month. For 2 years. And he's angry?
  • @mscofield991
    didn't the Warriors give Klay a 5yr/$189mill contract after he got injured. he was able to sit out 2 of those years.
