Klay was being an a$$hole publicly too let’s not rewrite history here
Dude was being a complete diva the past couple years. Shot them out of god knows how many games including the playoffs and play-in. Constantly hi-jacked the offense and did whatever he wanted without a single fukk given how everybody else felt. Then moped and sulked when he finally got benched.

NAH THEY LITERALLY
TRADED JORDAN POOLE TO APPEASE DRAY
ON TOP OF GIVING HIM THAT CONTRACT
(Let's not even mention KD)

ONLY FOR HIM TO TURN AROUND
AND QUADRUPLE HIS ANTICS THIS SEASON.

DRAY WAS SUPPOSED TO
BE OUTTA THERE LAST SUMMER...
NOW THEY LET KLAY WALK.

TERRIBLE LOOK


:devil:
:evil:


Poole didn't really get traded cuz of Dray.

Poole got traded after he completely bombed in the playoffs after a weak second half and Warriors realized the Poole contract is a huge mistake given his liability on defense and recklessness.


A defensive backcourt of Steph Poole and 23/24 Klay is a disaster.

Dallas finna find out when Kyrie Klay and Luka are all on the court cuz thats a sieve.
Klay will still get his 19ppg tho.

The Warriors let Klay leave thinking they'd get someone better but all they got so far is De'Anthony fukin Melton 😭.

Klay signed with the Mavs for a 3-year $50M contract which is way less than the max...you can't tell me the Warriors couldn't resign him as it was clear he was willing to take less.

It doesn't seem like the Dubs are going to get any better this off-season, I've read some stories about GS potentially trading for Lauri Markkanen but I don't know he doesn't move the needle.

I think they should've kept Klay if this is how the off-season was going to look for them. They'll still be fighting for a play-in spot.

I'm assuming PG deliberately opted out after all those speculation reports because he didn't wanna get traded to the Warriors to play with Steph and Dray which at the time seemed likely.

Losing Klay and getting Lauri or LaVine is an upgrade. Other than PG (who's 35 and often injured) who else would be better?

Man, if LaVine isn't extremely motivated by this entire ordeal to prove the league wrong about him...sheesh. The dirt on his name right now is insane

LaVine is an ELITE catch and shoot 3 point shooter when he's healthy. GSW could run a lot of the same actions they ran with Klay for LaVine. He's also more athletic and better off the bounce. LaVine's shooting more than likely increases playing alongside and learning from Steph as well

If it's true that GSW turned down LaVine and a pick for Wiggins and CP3 then that decision is more about them wanting to cut cost than adding talent.

Oh trust me, I know what Lavine can do, hes a great player

Theres something to be said about what it does for GS offense though that klay doesnt need to handle the ball, and takes on the toughest perimeter matchup.

On GS hell be asked to do a job that hes never had to do if they move wiggins, hell be the primary perimeter defender, but asked to be just as efficient on less usage. I dont see it

Love zach tho
