This Klay Thompson News is Insane

we know Klay Thompson unfall the warriors on social media and deleted pcks with him as a dub but now Shams reports Golden State is about to lose one of the Splash Brothers but why obviously he’s upset but what actually happened now we found out Clay is a free agent and wanted to return to Golden State but a lot of other teams have money and can sign him away in fact shum says the Clippers Lakers and Mavericks are strong suitors Dallas dumped Tim Hardway to get the third million per year mid-level exception Lakers can do the same with LeBron’s help he opted out and we take less if La can get a good player like clay but how did it get this bad so clay wants to leave his NBA soulmate Steph Curry it’s from disrespect by new GM Mike Dunley Clay is offended by how he was treated so the last few years clay has seen teammates get paid Steph Curry okay Draymond Green I get it Andrew WI and even Jordan P not getting a deal is a slap in the face oh they did offer him 2 years 48 million bucks but clay laughed at that it’s a fraction of what they gave Mr low light himself but here’s the real problem clay already got a huge contract after he tore his ACL in 2019 then he was out with an Achilles so he made Max money not playing for 2 years did he forget that also last last year he was the 12th highest paid player in the NBA he got more than Luca donic SGA even fat contract Rudy go Bear yeah Clay got more than him so technically clay has been getting overpaid for 5 years straight so the dubs are like no more we are cutting you off the GM Mike dun leevy said to the media they want clay back but he’s not a priority they’ve got other stuff to take care of first then they’ll get to Clay and look look I know he’s been overpaid but he’s also Human Clay must hear that and feel terrible that is why he deleted his social media post and unfollowed the team oh I’m not a priority well screw you too but does that mean that he’s gone and what else do the Warriors have to take care of well obviously upgrade the roster last year the dubs missed the playoffs with a healthy Steph clay and Draymond so running it back’s not cutting it Reports say they want a new star but not so fast the GM said the scenario to move our young guys would take a lot the main thing is that we believe those guys can contribute and help the group now really the young guys you’re going to roll with that Steph Curry at 36 years old this is starting to feel like the Mavericks in 2012 Dallas won the title in 2011 over the heat but instead of building on that they traded away most of their guys and failed to build around aging Dirk nitzki who is still in his late Prime so instead of contending in his later years Dirk made Allstar teams but never made it out of the first round in fact he missed the playoffs half his remaining eight years is that really how they want to see Steph go out oh so make a trade well the GM also said it’s just hard to do deals and I can’t stress that enough I mean there’s a lot of good teams out there that know what they’re doing whereas in the past it seemed like you could just pull a fast one on somebody nope trades in the NBA just aren’t a thing anymore they’re way too difficult now what last year the Celtics traded for Kristof singz Andrew holiday and then at the deadline the Mavericks added PJ Washington and Daniel Gafford that’s four trades in the last 12 months both those teams made it to the finals it’s how you win a championship now so how are trades dead actually they’re not and dun leevy isn’t stupid maybe he’s just acting dumb I mean this is the team that literally tried to get LeBron James at last year’s trade deadline uh yeah they are looking for a big trade but the key will be Chris Paul’s contract he makes about 30 million bucks and the dubs can trade that for a big name it would also take at least a draft pick and Jonathan kaminga so who is actually worth it well the first name name is Paul George but on Saturday night PG opted out of his contract which took him off the board Golden State would now need to have cap space to get him which they don’t but who else could they target well I think potential actual options are Lowry marinin Trey young maybe Jimmy Butler Carl Anthony towns or Jeremy Grant not all those guys are a perfect fit but I hate to say this the most likely scenario is Steph doesn’t get a new start teammate and they sign a random role player instead the reason is owner Joe lob said goal number one is to get under the luxury tax well if they lose Chris Paul and Clay mission accomplished dudy spent like a billion dollars chasing championships the last few years he’s finally done now they will use a mid-level exception to get a guy like cavius calwell Pope or Isaiah hartenstein which actually isn’t that bad kcp would be even better than clay but he ain’t a superstar and honestly this is going to hurt for clay Steph Draymond Steve Kerr everyone who’s cared about Golden State but it’s for the best I mean clay was upset about his role injuries clearly hurt his play this could actually make the Warriors a better team but where does clay go next well we know about the Clippers Lakers and Mavs Klay is from LA but Sean’s also said to watch teams with cap space the Orlando Magic had shown interest in clay as a vet and a shooter but reports now say that’s cooled off instead you got the Spurs with cap space the Pistons the Sixers the Raptors the Jazz and the Thunder but what about OKC with about 30 million in cap space I mean they just got Alex Caruso which adds another Defender to make up for Clay’s lack defense also he’s a great shooter and there is so much space on that team for clay to operate I mean if he wants to get Revenge what is better than going to the young Oklahoma City Thunder OKC could make so much noise in the playoff next year can you imagine clay hitting big shots in the Western Conference Finals in a different uniform actually a lot of people say no I cannot imagine that but honestly this is a really spicy situation and it’s not just about them saying Oh Clay is not a priority which would hurt his ego also what about the money they’re not going to overpay what about the role for clay remember last year he was getting benched at the end of games and he lost his starting spot to rookie Brandon Pinsky at one point I mean Clay is a chill guy but he’s got an ego remember him throwing his rings in Devin Booker’s face during a game this downfall is painful it’s why the old GM Bob Meyers joke that he left to not deal with this clay situation he was like yeah somebody is going to have to really offend and hurt Klay Thompson and I I don’t want to be that guy well now the new GM Mike dun leevy is that guy and it could be the end of the Splash Brothers in Golden State but we just saw maybe the weirdest NBA draft ever the Warriors didn’t make a lot of noise but bronie got drafted and what is with all these French kids taking over the league the answer is actually weirder than it seems
