If Chandler the fat Parsons deserves 15m/yr I think a max shouldn't be too much for Thompson tbh.
Great ?

Dude Randle is for real. Only reason he dropped from the stock was because of his foot surgery. He a project alright but he's the most impressive rookie the Lakers have drafted in decades.
you're so dense. you can't build a team if you are cap constrained. either learn how luxury tax works or stfu.lux tax ain't comin out of my pocket nigra, I don't think we in the same page
this is what a bad cap situation leads to
julius randle was never going #1
You dumbass can't even tell if someone is having a decent conversation or just playin wit u. If I want 2 talk basketball I ain't talk w/ uyou're so dense. you can't build a team if you are cap constrained. either learn how luxury tax works or stfu.

lmao @ any team that throws a max contract at shooting guard in 2014.
nice out, gotYou dumbass can't even tell if someone is having a decent conversation or just playin wit u. If I want 2 talk basketball I ain't talk w/ u
So let's break down your points here.
You do realize that only 29 other players in the league scored more than Klay, right? And given the fact that nearly ALL of them were the primary scorers for their team, a guy putting up 18 in today's NBA as the second option is pretty rare. This isn't the 80s where no one plays defense and everyone on the starting 5 scores 20+ a night.Great at what??? His best year was 18ppg
Did you really just say that a guy who shoots 44% as a primarily 3 point shooter is bad? Because... you're just wrong.at 44%.
Sure, if you don't count the fact that he's a great defender at the 2 guard, something that's a huge asset to have.You ing nerds sure have lowered the standards of the league.
Arron afflalo and Wesley matthews will give you close to the same numbers for a fraction of the price
Klay Thompson is just an above average player, tbh..
- 14 PER for a high-usage player is ing pathetic and embarrassing
- 12 PER in the playoffs last year
- Constantly disappears in big games, has proven that he can be completely eliminated from playoff games with little resistance
- Good defensive on/off metrics, average offensive metrics
The reason Thompson is hyped is because he plays with Curry and a popular Warriors team, which made him part of the "Splash Brothers", tbh..
Any team that pays the Max for him is crippling their franchise..
He's Danny Green with better ball-handling(but still just average), tbh..
Danny Green is a better defender tbh.
Danny green is another good choice tbh
Green is one of the best guard defenders in the league, however. Being worse than him on defense is not a terrible thing.
Klay has a far better ability to put the ball on the floor than Green, as well.

Only the superstars/playmakers are worth max contact several years go. Now everyone is dealing with the max contract.
Bledsoe, Parsons, Thompson, Monroe,.....
Barkley..wing player..good lord
God damn i ing hate sports sometimes. Yeah Thompson isnt worth the max but when he sees some of these pieces of that get max contracts why shouldnt he expect the same?
Is Klay worth the max? by metrics, he's not worth anything close to it (Mainly PER, but we should all know by now it's one of the most outdated metric with new formulas and analysis proving a better picture as analytics continue to play a larger role)
But it's a common belief that he would garner a max offer sheet if he hits the restricted market. Thompson in players mold are valued on the market's action every offseason. You see Parsons, Bledsoe and Gordon Hayward getting these numbers so it's not even a debate anymore, Klay will get a mini max contract and for his camp, they can justify the highest possible number available for him.
He is an elite shooter, there's no question about it but he's also an underrated defender.Players he defended shot 36.3% last year via Synergy Sports while turning the ball over 11% of their possessions. It's even more impressive when you consider the caliber of players he defends at the wing position(Jackson always limits the amount of energy for Curry).
He was excellent defending Chris Paul last year in the playoffs, so it's no surprise when you look at CP3's numbers against Golden State (17.4 PPG 42% shooting) His assist total also dipped (9.0) and he recorded a career high in TOV (25) for the series.
That's not a fair assessment of Klay Thompsons' game IMHO. Usage rate is good but NBA.com's SportsVU player tracking data had him at 37.7 touches per game, fewer than players like Blatche, Butler and Ellis and other non impact players etc...
He's a catch and shoot player that expands a good amount of his energy defensively to cover Curry's non existent effort on the wings.
Doesn't give him an excuse but we all know at his age and experience his value isn't climbing simply because of what he did; it's rising because of what he could do in the future.

No he is not. But Lakers are desperate. Gstate just spent big money extending bogut and curry and signed ight to a big deal so I get their hesitation, here. Unless they offer a deal with big money early opt out I doubt warriors don't match any deal. Best case for warriors is a trade flip injured Klay for Beal and a pick maybe? Not sure if cap works
I
Afflalo has a fairly large contract iirc
basketball-reference has him at $7.75 mil this year and $7.9 mil next season.
