Warriors: Warriors agree to 4 year 70 million dollar deal with Klay Thompson

[Franklin]

I don't think the Spurs will pay the TAX to keep anyone, Spurs owner would even sell his wife to avoid the TAX tbh.

[Blake]

Now the warriors need to cut Lee so the Spurs can pick him up and have endless Diaw> Lee talk.

[Franklin]

Spurs still have Matt Bonner though, Bonner > Lee too.

[Spurs9]

Still can't believe they gave this scrub max after watching this game.

someone said payin clay 17m in gsw is equivalent to a player whose on 15m in texas with no state income tax + costs of living/standard of living

that to me is a load of bull unless u have a no trade clause in ur contract, cause not everything is certain a player will remain at the same team during the length of their contract


seems like the spurs will be controlling kawhis minutes this season to lower his value.....roflmao, same old ty tactics they keep on using for players breaking out or contract year....kawhi should demand a trade...

[ElNono]

overpaid

[Venti Quattro]

Klay had 41 tonight to celebrate his birthday and contract extension, but...

1. It's against the Lakers.

2. 4 years for $70 million is still overpaying for a second option.

3. Dude, it's against the Lakers.

Meh. 2nd option on a contender I with average D... He's a flawed player but so is Kawhi. It's a weird position to be in for GSW cause they could probably salvage something decent at the 2 spot if they let him walk, but they already turned down a bunch of trades involving Thompson and if they ended up getting stuck with a Wayne Ellington at SG that team would suck. The difference between GSW with Thompson and GSW with Danny Green is probably worth 10m tbh, even if it goes to an overvalued player.

This also means they will almost certainly have to trade David Lee before next season.

[Cry Havoc]

The next CBA is going to be HUGE so it's probably a good idea to lock players in now.

This right here. I don't understand the conniption fits Spurstalkers are having. Do they not realize that contracts are going to swell ENORMOUSLY in 2 years?

[Cry Havoc]

Steph Curry signed a same 4-year extension which was only worth $44 million. Holy

Would you give Steph the max? One of the reasons he went so cheap is because of his injury chances. But that's a steal.

[DPG21920]

Gtfo like I said no love for these owners and Dirk Tim etc getting screwed and LeBron is watching closely and sasaying this is bull

They aren't getting screwed. Getting screwed is being unhappy. These guys dealt with the reality of the situation and are having much more fun than Kobe while building their legacies and other opportunities vs getting ripped to shreds on the court and by the media tbh..

Not either given the cir stances then but I wouldn't give Klay a $30 million advantage today.

[ducks]

green disapears to much on the road still imo to be worth 13
