If I recall correctly Durant's deal didnt even effect their cap space, just saved the owners so more money
Smh that shyt is wack
Warriors and Klay Thompson talking 'team friendly' contract extension of 4 years $101M
- Thread starter FAH1223
- Start date

Klay taking less ain’t forcing any player to do the same. Everybody is their own man and will make their own decision. Most people just mad they aren’t breaking up
These threads always turn out funny... all year people have been talking about the Warriors having to move Klay or Draymond at some point..
If you moved one and filled out the roster, you have the same total salary or less than if Klay signed for less.
People are just mad that this core might just stay together... talking about keeping money in the owners pockets...

nikkas on here only see the short term and not the long term. Klay gon make that 50 million right back after he retires with GS.
Plus we all broke so of course we looking at that 50 million way differently than Klay who is already set for life
Plus nikkas just want GSW to break up

The big 3 had to take a pay cut to play together. The Warriors could pay everyone the max, they just don't want to. You think Lacob would leave $50 million on the table to save Klay money?
No they can't. fukk the salary cap huh?
Next Summer with Klay off the books, they are at 86 million in committed salary. If Klay takes this deal that will put them at 110 roughly with him, Steph, Draymond, Iggy, and Livingston being the only dudes on the roster.
Cap for next season is 101 mill with 121 for the luxury line by the way.
Quality of life >>>>> everything else...
Everybody doesn’t prioritize the same things, yes most of us would take the money but obviously that ain’t the case for him. I don’t understand why people would be mad or feel any of way at this, that’s a thot mentality thinkin everyone should do anything for a buck because you would.
On top of the fact that being on a potential dynasty team would probably make him more money long term given his role vs goin somewhere else and potentially floppin as the man. He can’t really lose in his current situation on any level

Follow me to the truth
Like Melo?
Exactly like Melo.
He’s turning down 50 mil Tho
But he's already a millionaire. To broke nikkaz like us that's a lot, but once you reach a certain level, if you can make millions without a lot of stress (like Klay), some don't turn that down for more stress and not being happy all the time folk.

They have the Bird rights to all these guys right?
It’s about bargaining power. Little different in the nba with max deals but a star taking less weakens the position of everybody else when they have to negotiate their deal.
Ultimately it’s probably not a huge deal with how the nba is structured but I don’t like how it feeds into the idea that players should have loyalty to franchises and take less to win.
That’s fair.

Two words: market correction.
Why be concerned about the market value of players who you think will be grossly overpaid?
