Warriors’ Klay Thompson Says He’s Open to Reduced Role in Order to Land New Contract
18 comments
I wanna see Chef, Klay, and DayDay retire together having played for the same team their whole careers.
Respect Klay !!!
Tbf it was stated that he is open to a reduced role in order to stay with the Warriors. Never said anything about reduce salary lol
must’ve been a journey to get to this point in the contract negotiation. feel for klay and what a reality check.
I hope Klay knows that the fan base will love him no matter what role he takes on. He doesn’t have to be prime Klay again for us to appreciate him.
Best I can do is 10 million
Finally. Thank you klay
Hopefully it translates to reduced salary as well. I wanna see him retire with this team but I don’t want us to pay him a max and hold this team from making another run
Wow he messed up taking that 2 year $48 million extension. Curious what he will actually get now. There’s no way any team out there will give him anything close to $24 million per year.
I will always love you Klay, even if you go 2/13 fg
What are we gonna do with all that cap space. Interesting to see who fills up that 25-30m void.
Salary was not mentioned, or at least directly. But I guess it’s a msg sent by Klay&his agent. He knew he fumbled this season by his poor performance, and it would get uglier if he entered FA in summer. His ego might got hurt more if he sees the contract sent by other teams… An early extension with reasonable salary + year, and give him some sort of Livingston+Andre role is the best outcome at moment. MDJ is not Bob, he is able to make rlly rough decisions despite emotions.
Would love to have Klay back on a reduce role and contract. Maybe something like 45M/3 yrs (15M per).
Bench role ala the Spurs Ginoboli.
Reduced role, reduced salary, get it signed so it’s not messing with Klay’s head so he can focus on playing and making his shots.
Klay’s a real one. But just b.c. he transitions to a reduced role, doesn’t mean it’ll be like that forever. It’s a good opportunity for him to figure out how to simplify his game. But this is progress.
He just needs to focus on being more efficient.
Perfect the mid-range (which I think he already has anyway) and take far less 3 pointers.
I just want Klay to be happy with the team.
Was hoping this would be the direction he would go in. Would’ve hated to see Klay in another uniform over anything financial.
