76ers SIGNING Klay Thompson In NBA Free Agency After Talks With Warriors Break Down? Sixers Rumors

[Music] should the Philadelphia 76 her assigned Sharpshooter Klay Thompson four-time NBA champion still a very solid defensive player as talks with the Golden State Warriors breakdown we’re getting to that on today’s Philadelphia 76ers now I’m Chase senior hope all of you out there had a great weekend and your weeks are off to a phenomenal start before we take a look at all of that we’re going to do a June sub battle here with the Miami Heat report inside the walls of chat sports in May it was neck and neck right now it’s neck and neck make sure you hit that sub button support the show but then you’re a winner at the end of the day because you get year round coverage of the Philadelphia 76ers especially this off season we’re talking draft we’re talking free agency trade rumors and trade targets we do it all to lock Us in right now from the esteemed Anthony Slater of the athletic he’s been a great beat reporter covering the Warriors for quite some time he had this report that talks between the dubs and Klay Thompson not going well the calendar flips to June this weekend Slater said he continued It’s the final month of Klay Thompson’s current contract with the Warriors and there remains a realistic chance these are the fading days of his 13-year run with the organization as the decision on his future near there’s been no notable movement from either side toward a resolution League sources set the Warriors maintain a desire to retain Thompson at the right price once other aspects of their roster retool get clarified but they haven’t exactly been beating down his door to work out the framework for an extension in turn the 34-year-old Thompson appears ready to test free agency Waters exploring external options for the first time in his career it’s pretty wild to read that it’s like damn Klay Thompson’s been with golden state for 13 years that dynastic Run for the Warriors with Steve Kerr’s the head coach and then Steph Curry Klay Thompson Draymond Green might be coming to an end and this is all a part of this new wave of superstars really taking over the NBA Jaylen Brunson Tyrese Maxi in the East Luca donic Anthony Edwards in the west and now the Warriors are kind of getting phased out so for somebody like me like a lot of you who have grown up watching this en High Warriors run to think about the realistic chance that it’s going to be no longer it’s pretty surreal and at this point it kind of feels it kind of seems like Clay is leaving the Golden State Warriors and as an NBA fan definitely going to be weird to see here’s what clay had to say a little while ago about the possibility of leaving the Warriors that’s life man had so much success here I’m not going to let whatever happens in the future make me salty about what I’ve been able to accomplish in a war War’s uniform I don’t let that seep in at all clay has thought about moving on and maybe for him it became a little bit easier once the Warriors didn’t give him a contract extension last off season instead they’ve paid Draymond Green and extended him they’ve paid Steph Curry and they’ve extended him they didn’t do the same thing with Klay Thompson and maybe he saw the writing on the wall from the warrior standpoint it was kind kind of understandable coming off the Tor Achilles and the Tor ACL and he’s certainly been up and down since coming back this year he was available the numberers not awful but one of his Specialties has always been defense and the defense has started to dip and then in big games he’s become ice cold and shooting the rock more from Anthony Slater here Thompson wants to win don’t expect him to chase the largest possible offer from the Pistons or the Hornets even if that’s the correct Financial or leverage move but there are plenty of cap space teams with the clear upward path to contention than the Golden State Warriors that includes the Oklahoma City Thunder the Philadelphia 76ers in the Orlando Magic while I’ve said that Clay is declining a bit still possesses a valuable skill set and still would be a valuable member of this organization he’s he’s won four titles he’s played in a bunch of big series he’s played in a bunch of big games Do or Die situations the Sixers have been lacking success in that specific department so bringing in a player like Klay Thompson who can still shoot and space the floor who could still defend at a pretty solid level could be a good move for Philadelphia especially if they can get him on that bargain deal but because of those reasons other teams going to be interested in his Services very f fascinated to see where all of you stand on this should the Sixers sign clay s for sign P for pass type what you think the Sixers should do and what you would do down in the comment section coming up next how good can clay still be how good is he currently is the injury history still a concern stay tuned for that but first let’s pay our bills and get to our sponsor for

he’s banged up more than six rebounds win big money withdraw your winnings within the prize picks at pick more pick less pick prize picks today and get that $100 deposit match at priz picks.com clns so we queued this up before we got to prize picks how good can clay still be is the injury history still a concern you take a look at the raw numbers from this past year this on the Sixers would certainly play and he would be a better fit than Tobias Harris because he’s used to being that other option he’s used to being that player who only shoots from the outside and Tobias Harris was not comfortable with just chucking from Deep he needs to go to a team where he can handle the basketball a little bit more but 17.7 points per 43% from the field 39% from three-point range you will take that if you’re Philadelphia yeah it’s a smaller sample size with what he did after the allstar break and what Steve kurd did he had him in the starting lineup out of the starting lineup origin he got benched relegated to the bench in that bench roll after really struggling to start the year and you could tell that the contract talks and the contract situation in general probably looming over him and that pressure kind of got to him because he played tight early in the year and then in the playing Tournament game against Sacramento he could not buy a bucket and you probably thought is human nature settling in here where he’s thinking my time might be done and anytime an athlete is distracted anytime us as normal co-workers and the normal Workforce are distracted we don’t do our best work and that’s what happened with Clay pre-all-star 50 games played 17.3 points per game he took 15 and a half shots 42% from the field 8.7 three-point attempts per night 37% from three what’s interesting and I get it 23 less Games 2 in total post All-Star break but the points went up to almost 19 the field goal attempts still pretty much the same and the field goal numbers increase the three-point attempts go up and even though the three-point attempts went up naturally often times the three-point numbers will go down they went up by four points up to 41.2% that’s what he did offensively what can he do and offer defensively he’s obviously not the player that he once was when he made the job so hard for LeBron James and kawh Leonard and Kevin Durant he became just a premier Elite Wing player and in turn for that stretch there when the warriors were winning titles one of the best two-way players in the history of the NBA he’s not what he once was on the defensive event still solid he’s not a traffic cone where you’re just going to go buy him like James har but he did get picked on by Sacramento in the playin game so that’s a concern are the injuries still a concern because in back-to-back years we saw what happen Tor ACL 2019 finals torn Achilles right after that so there were two years there for clay which I guess also makes that 13-year run sneaky shorter because two seasons were l L to injury where he didn’t play basketball at all 2019 2020 ACL then the Tor Achilles right before the 2020 2021 season and then he comes off that Achilles he played 32 games but in the last two years he has logged 69 games and 77 games and he’s played a lot in those Seasons so you round out some of these questions here chip how much do you pay clay what impact will he have defensively what can he still do offensively and then other teams in the mix how much will teams like the magic offer him the current market anywhere between 18 and 25 million per year where if you get that clay from this past year not a bad bargain there yeah not a bad deal at all and I really still like clay as a player again not what he once was but that skill set that three and D Wing that he possesses still very valuable and I think he can be very good for the Sixers again the problem with be how much money is he going to get there’s been some rumors that a team like the Orlando Magic might be willing to throw big time money at him upwards of 30 million a year because their needs are so clear they need spacing and they need shooting so a player like clay would fit so well next to PO next to fron Vagner I wouldn’t want to pay him $30 million you know I was thinking about it earlier like man not the same Defender he once was still decent but obviously slowed down can he shoot that 41% from three that he shot after the All-Star break as opposed to the 37 that he did before the All-Star break you know he’s not really giving you as much off the dribble not that he was ever doing that that much but not quite really doing a whole lot besides the catch and shoot at this point so how much is he worth I don’t think he’d be worth much more than 25 is probably the max I’d give him you know it comes down to it like if you’re going to add somebody and that mid-tier range right because he’s obviously not you’re not talking about s Paul George or S clay right right you’re comparing clay to you know the Malik monks of the world the cavius cwell popes of the world these guys are going to make between 20 to 30 million you know would I rather have CLA would I rather have a a Malik monk again it’s all going to come down to pricing what does his market look like the Thunder the magic what do these teams offer him if you can get him for 20 to 25 I do it if it goes up to that 30 million range I think that’s a little too much for me and I think the Warriors are taking the same approach there chip it’s like 18 to 25 we’re certainly going to think of about it but as Anthony Slater said they haven’t been knocking on his door they can’t afford to knock on his door if he’s going to ask for 30 mil but as part of what Anthony Slater said he’s looking to win he’s not looking to cash in and that could change a lot of things for where he goes given what teams could offer the need that they have and then along those same lines what if the Orlando Magic are like we really want you Kay looks at it as a destination to win and they pay him because they know that they need shoo a lot of factors that go into it how much would you pay clay per year 18 to 20 that’s my number because it allows you to fortify the rest of your team let us know join the conversation as always don’t forget to hit that sub button we’re going to continue to bring the heat right here on 76ers now [Music] m [Music]

Anthony Slater (The Athletic) on Klay Thompson rumors:
“The calendar flips to June this weekend. It’s the final month of Klay Thompson’s current contract with the Golden State Warriors, and there remains a realistic chance these are the fading days of his 13-year run with the organization. As the decision on his future nears, there’s been no notable movement from either side toward a resolution, league sources said. The Warriors maintain a desire to retain Thompson at the right price once other aspects of their roster retool get clarified. But they haven’t exactly been beating down his door to work out the framework for an extension (which can be signed at any time). In turn, the 34-year-old Thompson appears ready to test free-agency waters, exploring external options for the first time in his career.”
