How about a 1+1 deal similar to the one that Eric Gordon received, instead?

Klay is so washed. No thanks.

Klay is more washed than Paul George

Klay got benched on a play in team. Unless he’s getting way less money and coming off the bench I don’t want him
HoagieTwoFace
How much we talking? Like 25-30 million?

People seem to hate the idea of klay, I love it. I think he has something to prove and being another full year away from his injuries is gonna feel healthier next year. He will never be splash brother klay again but he could definitely spread the floor and give decent defense. Hes not the guy, but as a guy he’s a great fit.Â

Klay for a 1&1 is interesting is better options don’t work out, but it’s uninspiring for sure.
If we can get KCP for an okay number, I don’t get why you wouldn’t just sign him long term, he’s a pretty perfect role player

Paying for a name. The player isn’t the same anymore.

If we sign Klay, Morey should be fired.

KCP fine, Klay 🤮

klay+ Paul George Klay + key role players (caruso, KCP, Drummond) Can’t go into next season saying Klay is the missing piece

Klay looked so cooked this year. Hard pass. Even on a prove it deal.

Respectfully, I want absolutely nothing to do with Klay Thompson. Dudes a legend, but he’s washed. His past accomplishments (impressive as they are) are not going to help us win a ring. Hard no from me.
KCP I could tolerate – He’s 31 and probably has 2 good years left in him. I wouldn’t be super excited, but if I had to pick between Klay and KCP, I’m taking KCP in a heartbeat.

I do like Klay with something to prove. I think he’s washed as a defender though. We would need some quality wings to supplement.

The deal for Klay would be relatively low risk, but honestly I’d hope we could spend our money better.
KCP would be an awesome get.

Just what we need. More streaky old players….

Depends on the price, if we can get him for cheap then yeah, sure. But if we have to overpay, then definitely no.

Jesus no.

We need a good wing defender who can defend star wings. Melton is good but too small against guys like Tatum and Anthony Edwards. I do like klay’s fit in the offense though especially with nurse’s emphasis on off ball movement. Klay would also be the 3rd option and not the 2nd like he’s still trying to be on the warriors

Before this season, I would have jumped at the chance to sign Klay. Now, I think he’s cooked, but not to a well-done char. Considering how much he’s probably going to ask for, it’s probably not worth it, but if we have absolutely no other options, he’s still better than Tobias (barely these days)

Klay is washed fuck no he was great when i was in high school
ThatPlayWasAwful
It would kind of be worth it to me just to see the reels of him sailing across the delaware every day.

Id rather have KCP, klay is cooked
Theballharperhit
If you can get Klay for a 1 and 1 you do it all day but there is 0 chance…Warriors would just give him the same tbh
irespectwomenlol
I think the narrative that Klay is washed is way overblown because he’s a big name athlete and his normal decline and bad start to the year gave the talking heads something to fixate on.
Yes, he had a bad playin. Yes, he’s declined a bit and is no longer an elite defender.
That said, he had 25+ points in 4 of the last 6 regular season games as GS was desperately fighting to make the postseason and can still go blazing hot for a stretch.
If you think of him more as a bigger and better version of Seth Curry around 2021 than thinking you’re getting peak Klay Thompson, you’d be extremely happy with him at the right salary.

KCP would be great. Please not Klay though.
