You misunderstood me
What Klay is doing is corny as fukk
When stars don't take their market value it punishes other guys who choose to take what their worth

4 yrs 170 mil for Klay would be 
No it doesn't, especially in a league with max salaries like the NBA. Lets be honest, people are only mad in this situation because KD and Klay taking less is helping the Warriors stay together. Its about this team, not the NBA in general.
I don't think so because value/worth is a fluid concept when negotiating. Him taking less doesn't affect what kawhi and PG are gonna do. Owners can try to play dumb about giving money to other folks, but any agent worth their money will automatically say KD/KT are outliers.
It depends on what you mean by punish. In the eyes of some fans/pundits? Sure, but fukk them. In the eyes of owners? They'll try to play dumb about it, but they understand the context of it. At the end of the day Klay took into account of what that extra 50 million was going to cost him in another way (breaking up the team/going to another city he hates/giving up a no trade clause) and thought it wasn't worth it.

um.. @houston has been pretty consistent in this stance..
I see what you're saying but just like you said, he doesn't have to worry about his legacy. He already has 2 rings and might even win more before his contract is up. So why not go after the money since he doesn't have to worry about legacy?
I'm a bay breh so I don't mind him sticking around but leaving money on the table is not something I'd recommend. Get your money Klay

I am untethered and my rage knows no bounds!
Why doesn't he have any endorsements, part of the contract? If Draymond is on every commercial, Klay should at least be on one

Because it’s $50Ms more
I been saying this sh*t
It's just basic economics
Other teams can't realistically contend with a group of dudes taking less than market value so they can play together.......unless other teams have guys doing the same
When LeBron/Wade/Bosh took paycuts so they could have 3 max dudes play together, you don't think that put other stars who wanna win in a compromising position?
Klay’s living in the best location, on the best team, having the best career he could. I can see why he’s down to take a pay cut 
Personally though I want to see him get a max. He deserves it
let the owners pay more tax, get your bread Klay

So teams should be forced to be evenly distributed with Star or Max level players? Players should be forced to make a decision to leave a place because they are obligated to take the most money offered? It makes no sense to take a decision out of the players hands.
If guys want to sacrifice to play on the same teams as certain players... so be it.
