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

[RubioTheCruel]

The concern for the Players Association is a legitimate one.
While not exactly the same situation, the failed A-Rod trade to Boston brought up similar issues in MLB.

Sort of different. Arod was already signed by Texas and he wanted out and was willing to give back ~20-25M to fit into the Red Sox's payroll. The MLBPA has it written in their CBA that you can't reduce a player's contract without benefits being deemed equal in value. They don't want to set a precedent where owners can go around lowering the value of guaranteed contracts, it's bad for business.

Klay would be a FA, just not taking the biggest deal. I'm sure the NBAPA wouldn't like that either, but there's nothing technically against that.

Yeah it's different. But the tone is similar. Both situations could hurt the market for players.
There's something to be said for home team discounts and such. But when you're talking about 50M+ being left on the table, that can become a concern.

I think players should always test the market so that the market always is forced to dictate current values for players at various levels
That being said this is just another example of a player controlling their destiny imo, it's just that the choice the player is making I don't really agree with though I can respect it I guess
I could understand if he didn't already win multiple rings, but he has and he is clearly not the 1st or even the 2nd option on the warriors so it's kind of disheartening to see that he does not have the belief in his talent or drive to be alpha to pursue that opportunity of being the #1 option some where else

How do you know he doesn’t believe in his talent?

That’s 101 is more like 50 Million Net after Fed and Cali taxes.

That’s 101 is more like 50 Million Net after Fed and Cali taxes.

Less than that... Cali cats get hit hard since their state income tax is like twice as much as other states. Almost half of Steph's check went to taxes and agent fees

 

[Teko]

Word? You mean him taking less that money went to Iggy and Livingston..

No. Him taking less had no impact on the ability to sign Iggy and Livingston to the deals they signed. He just saved money for the owner when he didnt have to

Why is that an issue but say he Kong’s trading Boogie so they don’t have to pay him 200 million not hurting players? Whats to stop more teams from panic trading stars to keep them from getting their full value? That’s exactly how the Blake griffin trade happened they paid him that money and flailed before he even made it in to year two. Same might happen to John Wall

dynasty continues, yall die

 

[Big Boss]

They all signed six year deals with opt outs after the fourth year. That means they were paid less than the max for four years. How is that not a pay cut?

Y'all don't understand how millions work. You do have to understand certain things, however...like how you're not him, you probably won't even do what you say you would.
Maybe I need to understand this is thecoli.com and it's just talk.

 

[Big Boss]

Klay taking this deal prevents who from making money?

Who wasn't able to get paid because Dirk took a pay cut?

Who got the from GMs because Duncan took a pay cut?

We complain/trash teams for overpaying players every year, but somehow, all of a sudden they're gonna stop cutting checks because Klay took a pay cut?

Facts

 

[Big Boss]

How klay getting 100 m messing up people money when Chandler Parsons got 80 and he can’t physically play basketball more then 40 games? Or ian mahimi and he scary?

Dudes will get paid as long as general managers and owners have cap space idk why people think taking pay cuts stops players from getting paid. Duncan and dirk took pay cuts for years and kobe and melo didn’t and everyone in between either got paid way more then they deserved or got underpaid for some isolated reasons

Facts

They talking about Capela getting a max deal

 

[Jesus]

His association playing with the warriors likely could yield him enough endorsement money to Trump the paycut he's taking with his contract.

no endorsement will make up the 50 million he's leaving on the table...he's not lebron or kd
