Klay Thompson's camp upset that the max hasn't been offered yet by GSW

[hawkfan]

he aint worth 15mil/per atm imho

For the Hawks he would be.
Korver and Thompson on the perimeter.
He can come to Atlanta for the max.

Already getting greedy. It's the end of an era. Splash brothers was fun while it lasted.

Wouldn't be the first time for the Warriors - see what they did with RunTMC.

Hope you're not trying to say Klay is just a spot-up shooter. He's an incredible man defender and getting better at creating/putting the ball on the floor.

Incredible is a bit of a stretch he isn't even the best perimeter defender on his own team.

He is a good on the ball defender and an exceptional spot up shooter.

He can't create his own shot and can't create for others. He is a great piece on a good team that suits him but he is in no way a max player.

One thing that I don't think has been mentioned yet is that if Klay signs a max offer sheet with another squad next summer and the Warriors then match, the annual raises are only 4.5% instead of 7.5% and for one less year than if he were to get a max offer from the Warriors right now.

Because he wants the max (and seems likely for him to get one next summer), it's possible that him signing an offer sheet first makes more financial sense for the Warriors.

Let's say Klay becomes a UNRes FA. We all know Kevin Love is gonna hate playing with the Cavs... Will the Warriors let Klay go (Lakers ) to sign Love to a max? They have to amnesty Lee right?

[hawksdogsbraves]

If he starts hot they'll offer it to him. If not, hell, I imagine teams will be lining up to offer it after the season anyway.

[bdreason]

He's not a max player. Curry didn't get max. Iggy didn't get max.




edit: Make someone else offer him the max in RFA.

GSW will look like fools if they let him walk without getting anything in return, especially considering they could have traded him for kevin love a few months ago.

10/mil, dont be greedy. Strive to be great, youngblood.

We won't let him walk. We'll just make someone else offer him the max in RFA, then match. At $15m per year he might find his ass getting traded shortly after that though (or S/T).

Trading Richmond wasn't about money, it was about Nelly and his dumb small ball philosophy. Which blew the **** up in his face cause Billy Owens never measured up and C-Webb didn't want any part of his system.

Should have traded for Love.

[bdreason]

Should have traded for Love.

It was Klay and Lee + picks for Love.

It was Klay and Lee + picks for Love.

Should have done it.

This is precisely why he won't be walking. They will likely let others give him the max but once that happens they will match it. No way do they let him walk after refusing to trade him for Kevin Love.
