Klay Thompson gets 4 year max with Warriors

[IncarceratedBob]

How can people say he's not worth the money. You're worth what you can get.

[bdreason]

He's not worth the max... but our GM must have assumed Klay would get offered the max in the off-season, and didn't want it hanging over the team all season.

[absalom]

Lance Stephenson's contract = bargain.

Harden will make more than 15 next year, and klay will not get 17.5 till next year.
Harden wont average 26,5,5 and klay is a better 2 way player.
Harden's negative defense player actually gives opp free point so he be like 26-8= 18 about his actually net gain for his team winning points.
Well klay is definitely a positive defender so his actually influence on point will be like 18+4 = 22. Better than Harden easily.

He plays off ball which is great because there are so many on ball max player in the league wing player wise. There are easily more teams need a player like Clay than Harden. For example:

For spurs Clay replace Danny Green will make spurs a better team easily better than Harden.
For Thunder Clay replace who ever play Sg will be better than Harden.
For Clipper Clay replace JJ is better than Harden.
For Cavs Clay replace waiter is better than Harden.
For bulls Clay....

you get the point now? so many max star play on ball on all top contender makes clay's off ball and D so valuable esp. in the play off. Well Harden's chucking, iso, dribbling ball hog does not mesh well with any top contender.
There fore he is better and cheaper.

Everyone in this room is now dumber, for having listened to it.... But to show you how dumb you really are...

Harden will make 15.7m next season, Klay will make 17.5m. Harden ALREADY averages 26, 5, and 5, so not sure where you think he wont next season. He's averaged 25, 8, and 4 in his first two games, right on pace. He just had 18, 10, and 7 last night. Has Thompson ever averaged over 4 rebounds a game? He should, he's 6'7. He hasn't in case you were wondering, it was a rhetorical question. He's also never averaged over 2.2 apg in any season either. Star in the making.

I could list a bunch of teams who need a scorer that would benefit from having Harden over a guy who shoots three and plays defense and, doesn't really do much of anything else. Luol Deng shoots threes and plays defense. So does Ariza. In fact, I'd take Ariza over Klay on the Rockets all day every day and twice on Sunday. If you switch Harden and Thompson, the Warriors increase their record, the Rockets probably end up in the bottom third in the west.

Cool abstract number pulling though.

Lots of people eating crow in this thread

[supernova5912]

lmao he isn't even that good...

A guy that can drop 37 points and 9 threes in a quarter isn't that good?

One of the worst deals I've ever seen. Golden State just gave a Wesley Matthews level player 17+ million a year.

Whatever flexibility they had is probably gone after this.

You are so stupid

How is Saunders looking for not taking the Barnes/Thompson offer for love. Not very good.

[DJ Leon Smith]

I think this is the winner.

In hindsight, so many of these comments are so . So many people on here say things with absolute certainty that they know little to nothing about.
