Warriors and Klay Thompson talking 'team friendly' contract extension of 4 years $101M
- Thread starter FAH1223
- Start date
He can Doit, hes not a Big spender. Ever since he got in the League his parents manage his money and he gets a weekly allowance.
"All cheques are paid to Mychal & Julie who take care of his accounts for him to make sure Klay's financial situation is set up for his post NBA career.
So, naturally, Papa Thompson's going to teach Klay a lesson of his own by fining him personally also, however, Klay will find out the old fashioned way.
"He will [find out he's been fined by us] when he sees that cash envelope show up a little short this week," he said.
This is kind of heartwarming, because as Trey Kerby points out, Mychal Thompson is a former NBA player who knows all too well how athletes can burn through their money, leaving them bankrupt within years of leaving the league. That's just good parenting—though after Klay's teammates find out he doesn't have his own bank account, they're going to need to teach him how to deal with bullies.

Hes completely underpaid when you realize Whiteside and Aaron Gordon will make a lot more money

Or he's doing that because thats literally the best option for him. I mean nobody blames him if he has a bad game

Can't really blame him here. That's not as much as he could get but that still a lot of money to stay in sunny California racking up rings while all u have to do is hit spot up 3pts. I think Klay is content in his NBA career at this point. Dude is chilling man

If he’s happy with it good for him but man this shyt gonna hurt other players. How guys like Jaylen Brown and Saric gonna maximize their value when you got Klay and KD taking discounts? Pressure on them to resign for less or get crucified gonna be crazy.
Don’t like this precedent. But idk doesn’t seem to be hurting someone like Capela who you’d think this would impact.

why would he want to go to some shyt franchise where he can’t even hotbox his whip without being paranoid?

, all kinds of beautiful women 
, lots of investment opportunities 
, and low key I bet the owners have him hooked up with some sweetheart VC deals that will net him a whole lot more than the 50mm he’s leaving on the table. 
Health is wealth, brehs. Mental and physical. Fukk living in a shythole like Sac or Orlando or whatever to please the NBAPA.
