Klay’s behavior was low key toxic last year too, so much pouting. Bottom line, Draymond and Klay are both flawed at this point. This is debate over the 4-6th best players on a team

[@ninerempire3398]

Draymond is still their second player. They’re just a much worse team without him and have always been terrible defensively without him

[@mgw2745]

They are flawed of course as no one is flawless although Labron James is near the perfect. But still they are both future hall of fame which they earn and I see current young players far far away from it. We won't want to see Warriors go back to 20 years ago again with no hope, no future, no playoff and no fun, at least not yet not today.

[@TonyKureWorld]

The real point should be warriors wouldn't even had been I'm the play had not been for draymonds antics. He punched a possible future star for warriors and it's issue after issue with him. He gets 100 mil after all that when any other team would had let him go. Klays like all I did is miss a few shots but he had stretches where he was lighting up the court. The mistake was paying draymond as much as they paid him because here we are about to lost the player that we know gonna at least show up to play and not get kicked out being an idiot.

[@sidku7006]

Klay signed a 5 year max deal in 2019. Klay played 0 games in 2020, 0 games in 2021 and 32 games 2022. He is coming off his worst season since 2014. He isn't the defensive stopper anymore. Klay shot 0 for 10 against LA in 2024 play in game, first time he was scoreless since his rookie season. Klay isn't a fit for GS if they want to make the playoffs.

Klay is too inconsistent the Warriors need a legit second option for Steph If they want to compete. Klay is a third option at best at this stage. It's not about heart, it's age and injuries, they catch up with everyone.

[@nanakmccann]

It's the contracts of the Warriors that are aging them out of competing not their play. They paid 160 mil to four players last year, and couldn't fill a roster. I don't think the 2016 version of the splash brothers would win a championship with last year's roster. They need more money for free agents. Klay is a 15 to 20 mil player based on the last three seasons realistically.

[@____2080_____]

I would have played Klay BEFORE Draymond. Green is OVERRATED. And if the Warriors couldn't win without Draymond, then they were never that good and more lucky.

[@kitmarshall4084]

That old man smoking meth, would the warriors be the same team without draymond? How about klay? Klay shot zero from three in our last game. Draymond is the enforcer and mastermind of the team… every team needs a draymond, ie caitlin Clark does.

[@willtan7904]

having klay on the team is good if only kerr isnt the coach.. kerr would play him even if he's playing horribly and benched some younger player who is playing better.. never give kerr the chance to screw over the team because he will..

[@robrown1041]

Honestly Klay has had a better career than Wiggins and drey besides the injuries he at least should be making the same but yea warriors brass kind of over paid drey and Wiggins only because Klay wasn't fully recovered from the injuries the game goes on warriors had to make decisions to compete so yea tuff spot

[@shadysif6220]

The Warriors were better with Klay off the bench, Klay was better off the bench. Kuminga and Curry were the highest scoring duo, at one point in the season. It's never easy letting go, and Klay isn't the only issue, but they can't afford to compete in a stacked Western conference and pay him the money he wants. I respect Klay and his legacy but that's the harsh reality.

Dray has been playing at a high level .. Klay hasn’t

[@YourADDhere]

Health is the real issue. Klay played gingerly, not posting up or on ball defense both hard on the lower body. He was worried about his body and played to get a new contract. He's got more ball. The front office doesn't want to get stuck with more injured years, so a short contract. I say 4 yrs team option fourth at draymond money.

[@YourADDhere]

Warriors franchise, like all others, made a bunch of money, but this guy helped in many ways to make their brand sell around the world. Pay the guy

[@WhatsWongNow]

I've been a big Warriors fan for over 50 years, and I honestly don't think it's /that/ emotional. Am I sad that Klay might be leaving? Sure. But he's not worth a long or big contract, and he thinks he is. Not sure how you resolve that. Green keeps blowing up the team, but a) he plays at a high level and b) Steph apparently wants him. I'm sure he hopes Klay will be around, but he also knows if they pay the big contract, no more help is on the way. I doubt he want shim at the cost of not being able to get more help.

Klay was better off the bench, Kuminga and Curry were a better duo. Klay and CP3 played well on the second unit. Klay was a role player this season, it's not a knock, his body went through some painful injuries that sapped some of his vigor add age and that's just reality.

You’re crazy saying Klay isn’t worth more than Dray…Dray is a freaking ticking time bomb and completely unpredictable. Klay is better than he played last year. If he goes somewhere else…he’s going to put the league on notice.

[@44dperez]

@@Nitabita_ Klay wants to get paid based on past performance. Doesn't work that way any more. I was ready to move on from Dray also. But if we are committed to trying to win one more, Dray is the better piece to keep and is more important for what he does. Klay has to check his fragile ego and understand he's a 6th man on this team now if he wants to stay. His ego won't let him. The Dubs offered him 24 mil a year and he said no. He wants 3 years...despite a steady decline since his back to back career threatening injuries. So...despite his obvious decline, you think they should bank on him being that guy again for Steph for three more seasons? It's absurd. 2 yrs, 30 mil, plus team option for 3rd year at $20 mil but with a $10 mil buyout in case it isn't picked up. It at least gives him a little more when the team obviously declines the third year option. Or he can go chase a big bag elsewhere.
