Love Klay but he’s not getting a max and he knows it
Grafaap
Thats rich from him demanding that money after being unavailable for 2 seasons.
If its true though.
Unrecognizedman
That”s unfortunate if he leaves. I remembered him right after the playoffs saying he will play only for steve kerr as his coach.
loongod5
I don’t see him leaving, this is just the start of negotiation talks. Highly doubt anyone in the league gives him a max contract at his age and with his injury history.

Lol
North_Street_8547
Only way I can see him getting it is if they win the championship and even if they did it’s probably a 25 percent chance

It’s gonna be a tough off season for the Warriors. There’s just no way to get around it.
Robotsaur
Yeah that’s not happening, good starting point for him for negotiations though
Accomplished_Iron805
Is this real? We’re in the middle of the playoffs.
Dynasty_30
Lol nobody is giving him a max
He’s just starting the negotiations tho
If Klay wants to stay here long term, he will need to take a substantial pay cut. He shouldn’t be making more than Wiggins
No_Jelly_6050
If Draymond ain’t get a max extension. I know Klay not expecting that lol
htorb1
Expecting around 20-25. Probably just negotiation tactic

I wonder what a max for him looks like. He’s not going to be all-NBA so it would be lower than his current contract wouldn’t it?
I wonder if the end result is we just re-sign both him and Dray to extensions that align with Steph’s deal.
Poronga-Arenosa
Bye bye Klay
StanLay281
This is probably just a big ask tactic. Ask for something crazy big so that when they negotiate down to what you really want you’re golden
carbine23
He gone
EloWhisperer
Dude made a shit ton last contract
The-Truer-Facts
If he’s actually expecting a 40+ million dollar contract he’s getting traded. After paying him 70 mil during rehab you would THINK that he’d be the one to take the discount. Dynasties take discounts to stick together, if no one wants to take a discount there will be no dynasty.
Spiritual-Ad-8868
Hell no
sneakyrumble
No way someone is going to give him a max. He should be around Wiggs contract and that’s it.
guesswhodat
Did he actually say that or is this just click bait fake news?
howcanilose
I can’t afford to care about this shit. Let’s get thru the season first. If we win and we give him the max I could give five fucks.
swgoh_gg
Dude missed 2.5 years of the 5 year contract. Yet to be seen how many he misses next year.
Klay and green will get max 20 million in open market…maybe 25 at best.
Delusional to think for max. Not happening.
taygads
Lol anyone that believes this has obviously not followed the Warriors and how their players deal/handle certain things, i.e. Klay/his camp is the literal last person on that team who you’d hear a peep about contract stuff from. Aside from the public leaking aspect, Klay is also not someone who would approach contract situations like this. This is just the usual trying to create discord within the org during the playoffs that happens every year.
zatsnotmyname
Bye, Klay. 20 per. Dubs paid him for 2 years while he rehabbed.
aveeno008
Reporter prolly asks player a question, player answers. Fans “why player requesting this now??” I swear people are so dumb in this click bait era.
jonnyeatic
No one over 33 except Curry deserves a max. The fall off in performance and efficiency is huge. Basketball is a young person’s sport. The only reason to still pay Klay is that his main skill is shooting which doesn’t age as fast but his defense is almost non-existent now. He’s a $20-$25MM player now.
Knight_of_Swords
I find this hard to believe. Where would this even come from? His agent can’t ge this stupid. Wherever it’s coming from I just hate that this is reported down 1-0. The vibes have been bad all year and this can’t help.
OFT35
Horrible business if they did that.
FNF51
The CBS article lost me when it said he’s elite defensively 😂
chubky
Whys this being brought up right at the start of the playoffs?

If that happens, kiss any chance for future rings goodbye.

More distractions for the Warriors 🙄😬. FO is gonna figure that out. For now, ***FOCUS ON THAT 2023 CHAMPIONSHIP RING!!!***

how about ownership take the org public, give shares to Dray, Klay, Curry, Bob and Kerr and call it a first time thing.
BananaPeelSlippers
Ok bye then

LMAO
monteasf
Fake news. He’s giving nothing but the impression he loves it here, is super grateful he got paid max bucks for the years he was injured and that he’s willing to take a little less than market value
Severe-Cherry-816
I mean if you’re Klay you have to at least ask for the money. No one’s just going to offer Klay the max if they don’t think they have to.

He’ll get the max from 1994

Why are people counting Klay’s money?
