Klay Thompson GONE? – Warriors Star UNFOLLOWS Team and Removes Dubs Content…
is this the beginning of the end for Klay Thompson he’s unfollowed the warriors on Instagram yes I have verified it I’m going to show you here what does this mean he’s going to be a free agent is this the goodbye he’s not resigning who are the teams he may go to will it be a sign and trade we’re going to break it down for you all the developments and how we got here Warriors digest Randy silver if you’re with us a lot thank you this is your first time here welcome to Warriors digest we break down all the biggest Warriors news around trade rumors draft gameplay videos for you daily please subscribe so you don’t miss an episode about 13% of the people are subscribed thank you let’s keep getting that number up to 100% Klay Thompson what did I just say he’s unsubscribed from the Warriors Instagram you can see right here when you type in warriors on Instagram g-league Warriors dubs Community okay is that the fake screenshot well let me play a video right now over my shoulder of me actually doing it on my phone so I screen recording my phone and here’s me going through Instagram and trying to find him it’s all over Twitter it’s all over social media so this is legit and who reported it SFGate a very very very trusted Source in the bay they’re are legit newspaper online publication they’re putting it out there it’s just not random Twitter accounts stuff like that that this is big news fans you don’t unfollow an account unless something major is happening you want more money you’re saying I’m going to bounce you unfollowed them you act like you’re leaving it helps you in negotiations or maybe there are conversations happening that hey this is now cap this is now it again he’s a free agent going into this upcoming year all the money off the book we look here we’re over the minimum threshold for what the salary cap is 172 we’re at 174 Chris Paul’s 30 million could be gone and that puts you obviously 30 million below that we talked about in the previous video Moody I mean not moody Looney $8 million contract only 3 million is guaranteed so if they cut him they save 5 million could they use that towards clay or other players so there’s a lot here that is in play and it comes down to of course Chris Paul Klay Thompson what are they going to do and potential other free gp2 say he wants to come back what’s going to happen so this is big news that he followed this could be a ploy or they could be having conversations because what’s coming up the draft is in two weeks frency starts three four weeks away so boom this this is the the wheels it’s been a little bit slower we haven’t been in the playoffs like we normally are not deep we’ve been doing a lot of different stuff here Wars digest around players that may draft that’s the stage at now is getting crunch time to where free agencies picking up a bit in terms of what teams are going to do the draft is coming up so stay here Warriors digest we have all of it for you so the question is where could Klay Thompson go you know we’ve talked about this but now it’s getting more real the Orlando Magic they have almost 70 million around 60 70 million in free agency cap that they can go spend on the salary cap and Klay Thompson can help this young team they need three-point shooting he instantly goes in and becomes the second or first best three-point shooter on that team they have a lot of Young Guns doesn’t have to maybe Focus as much as being a two-way player can come in and start games or come on Off the Bench be six-man Sharpshooter and what happened in this playoffs they made it for the first time in a long time they needed shooting to get over the hump against the Cavs they didn’t have it Klay Thompson Championship pedigree can help them and they won him so is he going to move west coast East Coast maybe team two Mavericks this is a bit harder they’re going to have to trade Tim Hardway Jr he’s their Sharpshooter hasn’t really performed well here in the NBA finals tonight is game four in the Eastern Conference Finals he did a pretty good job against the Pacers however they trade him boom you can try to get Clay Thompson maybe you have to make a couple moves but again Championship pedigree put them next to Kyrie and Luca that helps that team of course Kyrie beat Klay Thompson in the finals but Thompson beat Klay multiple more times 76 they are going to need shooting they’re going to resign Maxi to a super max they have embid so there is your one two and you put Thompson in the corner can play some defense for them if needed but really Sharpshooter help out that team a lot we saw buddy heeld come in and try to do that for this team Klay Thompson will be more of a standard player a regular player probably starts there maybe for six man at the bench but again that team has had a tough time getting over the hump needing to get to the easn Conference Finals they haven’t done it embiid’s Prime is now Max is coming into his prime he can give him that Championship pedigree and how do we get to this point well Shams reported that Klay Thompson rejected a 2-year $48 million extension last season this would have made him 24 million per year his play this year was not worth that probably closer to a 10 to 20 he bet on himself and it didn’t work now the question is do the Warriors want to pay 24 million right now if they give Chris Paul 30 million they don’t have that money they get if they don’t have Chris Paul for 30 million then yes but do you want to play pay Klay Thompson 24 million probably not it’s G not help this team as of May 30th clay Warriors at no notable movement on their contract talks had no notable movement on the contract talks so maybe this sign of unfollowing on social media is the movement we’ve all been waiting for now in the terms of waiting for I want Klay Thompson back I love him Warrior Warrior for life that’s the type of player you want four-time Champion with us but not at 24 million 10 15 million yes he makes a significant amount of money overseas with his sponsorship deal in China they do his shoes apparel things like that and obviously he’s made hundred million plus playing in the NBA that might be underscore could be close to 200 at this point it definitely is close to 200 if not over but anyways he doesn’t need the money that’s what we’re saying he’s doing plenty I would love him to take the homeown hometown discount and play for the Warriors now if the Warriors are telling him he’s not going to start because we look at the starting lineups it’s GNA be Steph Curry Brandon kaminga Trace Jackson Davis and Draymond and then say Klay comes off the bench as maybe you’re six or mood’s a sixth and he’s a seven the first second person Off the Bench maybe he wants to start and he’s like you know what they’re telling me I’m not going to start I’m not going to start I want to continue start go play somewhere else I can get that and you know as a competitor as a former athlete myself I played in college lacrosse I would love to be able to start every game throughout your career it’d be amazing and if he can go to the magic get paid and start help a young team also potentially builds his legacy if he can help them get to the finals to a championship things of that nature same with the 76ers maybe he’s ready for something new in his career after being with the Warriors but I hope he stays now if it’s just he’s leaving because he’s not getting paid the money he hopes that would be disappointing but if it comes out and they say hey klay’s leaving because um we told him he’s can come on the bench he wants to start he’s making a decision for himself he wants to go start you have to respect that as a competitor but it would be disappointing as a Warriors fan I hope this isn’t a lot but again Clay Thompson unfollows warriors on in St removes dubs content you can see right here clay please please please please stay with the Warriors not happy about this

Klay has been great but it’s time to move on . Hope they can do a sign and trade to get something back
Let him walk ….. when he 0/10 he publicly will take the pay cut but if he do this just to forces gsw pay him 20 mil so no
With CP3 Klay and Looney gone we can chase for PG13 give him klay old 40 mil/year for 2 year and sign isiah herstein for 10 mil/year for 2 years
Orlando
No, i wasn't Klay to return and come off the bench. He played well in that role
Go to the Knicks, Klay!
Sign Klay
Thank god.
Klay is so selfish. Bro the warriors gave you everything. And paid you when you were injured. You pocketed generational wealth that most ppl on this earth will never see in their lifetime or the next…. it sad for me as a warriors fan
I think klay should be benched and paid veterans minimum, don’t have to get rid of him but bro isn’t a starter anymore
At last gsw can become a contender.
I agree with everything you said besides next years possible starting 5😭😭😭 Steph, Brandon, Draymond, JK, Jackson…thats not even a play in team🤦🏾♂
Orlando just became contenders.damn
Fake
If i where klay i wOuld not leave gsw because if GSW GET KAI SOTTO THEY WILL BECOME SUPER STRONG TEAM A DOMINANT CENTER LIKE KAI SOTTO IS THE GSW LACK OF RIGHT NOW BUT IF THEY GET KAI SOTTO THEY WILL BECOME A NO WEAKNESS TEAM IMGINE U HAVE A GREAT SHOOTER NOW A DOMINANT BIGMAN KAI SOTTO HOW CAN U STOP THEM GSW Will BECOME A DYNASTY CHAMPIONSHIP WITH KAI SOTTO IN THEIR LINEUP LOOK IN JAPAN LEAGUE NO WORLD IMPORT CAN GUARD OR STOP KAI SOTTO IN THE LOW POST AREA THE ONLY WEAKNESS OF YOKOHAMA IS THEY HAVE A NON SHOOTER PLAYER BUT IF GSW GET KAI SOTTO THIS IS THE REAL PROBLEM TO ANY NBA TEAM WHY U HAVE SHOOTER AND NOW A DOMINANT CENTER KAI SOTTO GSW WILL BECOME MONSTER TEAM NO WEAKNESS AT ALL..
I want Klay to re-sign on a team-friendly discounted deal because he's still a brilliant shooter, perfect as a 6th man plus I love the dude, although if he wants to earn his full market value and/or desires new sporting challenge with a change of scenery then good luck to him. It'd be a bit disappointing considering we signed him to a max deal after he did his ACL and he missed over 2 full seasons combined with the Achilles injury, however he's not worth more than $15-20M a year and overpaying to keep him is crazy. It's more important for the future to keep the 4 rookies and give them the playing time they need to continue developing, but especially Podz and Moses because Klay eats into their minutes. He technically doesn't owe the franchise anything but I honestly thought he'd be willing to take a discount to keep the dynasty going with Steph and Dray. Sad news but hopefully it doesn't mean anything.
I think the Warriors and Klay have an equal relationship! Yes he’s been hurt these past couple years but what did he give you?! He’s gonna be taking his talents elsewhere tbh, He may try to be the face of another franchise! Bulls?! Possibly a New York team! If he joins the Lakers 😅
Idk about basketball but in soccer whenever a player becomes a free agent they unfollow their last team, remove the pictures but once contract talks are completed they go back to following each other.
