Klay Thompson: Seeking max deal /snicker

Trade Now.

I like the kid, but Barnes can play the 2. He might be worth the max to the right team, but to GS, he isn't.

I'm not saying he's wrong to ask for it, but damn everyone thinks they are worth the max these days.

That snicker only sweetens the deal.

That's because NBA teams tell them they're worth it by continuously offering and giving max-level contracts to players that really aren't that good. If he's one of the top 2-3 FAs when his deal is up, you think some team isn't going to offer it? These teams are just giving the top FAs each summer max money, regardless of how good they actually are. The fault here does not lie with the players' mindset.

Top 5 SG for the next decade... someone will give him a max offer.

[Meticode]

He doesn't deserve a max deal right now, but it won't surprise if a team gives it to him. There's so many overpaid players in the NBA compared to what they're worth.
