Warriors and Klay Thompson talking 'team friendly' contract extension of 4 years $101M

[Stone]

There really is no such thing.... at least not leaving 40 percent of my market value off the table just so the company I work for can increase their bottom line..... if Klay was really white, they wouldn't even approach him with a deal like this.....

Barring injuries Klay will prob make about 200 mil total off his basketball talent

the fact that players have to choose between money and rings is a huge problem.....

It is when you're a 3rd option and have the ability to be a number 1.

Klay can’t even create his own shot off the dribble what makes you think he’s a number 1?

 

[Field Marshall Bradley]

They are....Draymond, Steph and Igoudala be investing in tech startups heavy. I know Klay probably in a few. Even if 90% of the investments go bad, you just need one to become a billion dollar company and you sitting pretty.

So is Lebron and Nas, and a gang of other people outside of Cali....

 

[Field Marshall Bradley]

When you already made damn near 100 million your quality of life comes first

He's only playing ball for another 7 to 8 years...... that is not the rest of his life by any stretch...... and who says you can't have a high "quality of life" outside of Cali...... I'm a firm believer in that you do the establishment no favors when it comes to getting your market value..... cause please believe they will not do any financial favors for you unless they are forced to....

Making tens of millions of dollars to not do shyt but shoot and win championships >>>> a couple million more to do everything and probably not win shyt

No doubt, perfect situation

 

[Field Marshall Bradley]

Cause them nikkas bored.

this... and lets not act like Klay is Kobe or Shaq when it comes to being a brand or personality here in the states...... Shaq works 15 hours a week and gets paid 5 mil because he is one of the most popular athletes of all time..... one of the most easily recognizable personalities ever

 

[Field Marshall Bradley]

Would you take $140k to go to a shyt hole company and work with incompetent employees that you have to babysit the whole time and basically do all the work yourself with little-to-no help?



I dont see how taking more money makes more sense.

So every other franchise in the NBA is a shythole organization?

 

[EBK String]

Klay can’t even create his own shot off the dribble what makes you think he’s a number 1?

He may be the second greatest shooter of all time and is a lockdown defender. you don't need to create a shot when you money from anywhere

 

[Field Marshall Bradley]

I just don't like this narrative that, "Klay HAS to take a paycut to stay." It's bullsh*t and only benefits the owners bottom line. They could sign him to the max if they wanted to, but it would cut into their profit. The player is expected to make financial sacrifices for billionaires who have already seen their investment more than quadruple in less than 10 years.

This.... but when people are emotionally invested in something, they will throw logic out the window...... that programming........

 

[Field Marshall Bradley]

If you can’t build an empire on 100 million then you don’t deserve one

 

[Field Marshall Bradley]

Nah bytch don't try that bullshyt on me. I meant what I said this topic doesn't have shyt to do with dude being black and the rest of my post explains that bytch

Actually, it does.... no way a white player of Klay's ability gets approached with this deal..... this is historical fact..... whether its football or basketball

 

[ROFL_GUY]

the fact that players have to choose between money and rings is a huge problem.....

Lethot took a paycut to join the heat

He had the lowest salary of the big 3 when they colluded together

 

[Field Marshall Bradley]

How much stress do yall think Demar Derozen, Lowry, Conley and Oladipo are under.....?

 

[Field Marshall Bradley]

Until they get rid of max salaries ain’t shyt changing unfortunately

Only sport that has Max salaries too...... I wonder why...
