[@joeyaknow1103]

they gave Klay a contract right after a major injury. They also offered him a comparable contract to Dallas but Klay didn't want to come off the bench. The Clippers on the other hand are straight up doing some shady ass shit to Russ. Russ gave them a 4M contract which is a huge discount to them so that he could stay at home and let the team have space to pay other players and they are trying to pawn him off.

[@robertmcmahon9900]

Clippers have looked after PG extensively. They have been a super tax paying team for years to make sure him and Kawhi had a solid team around him. They paid him a max, they looked after him extensively, they paid money on top of money that no other team would pay. The new cap comes in to stop Ballmer from doing this, what are they meant to do. PG had already complained about losing the players who did the work for him, the hard work, the grunt work on his podcast. He lost his loyalty when he went out and threw his team under the bus, stupid move and he reaps what he sows. You are absolutely right, it is not a loyal business, get your bag and move on. PG bit the hand that feeds him, and he had to go to philly to get his bag.

[@joeyaknow1103]

As a Warriors fan it's heartbreaking to see him go. I really wanted to see him bounce back wearing a Warriors uniform. But i understand Klay wants to play as much meaningful minutes as he can especially since he missed 2 years in his prime and as long as he was a Warrior the media and also himself were always going to compare himself to pre-injury. Wishing him the best in Dallas. Hopefully things somehow works out so he ends up coming back down the line to retire a Warrior.

[@joezerkant4437]

Honestly for what clippers gave up for PG, which includes SGA, lots of picks etc. back in the day. The team didn’t deliver much for them to feel that loyalty. why should they get weaker while making someone in their conference stronger. Sorry, I don’t think that’s smart from clippers POV.

[@warblade044]

Hey Draymond, the Clippers said no to trading PG to the Warriors because Dunleavy refused to include Kuminga in the return package. Nice try in spinning but get your facts straight. The Clippers have to do what is in their best interests too.

[@hokygaming7422]

Lol, they gave him 48 on 2 years and he declined, in the end they offered 2/40 and he still declined and left for less, klay left cause he doesn’t want to be a bench player and for this team to compete he needs to accept that for at least 50% of games he will be on the bench, even tho he’ll get the same minutes in the end but it’s the bench roll that made him feel disrespected, maybe if warriors had another star after dray and Steph then it wouldn’t be an issue for klay to start, but we can’t win with him starting with his current defence, and klay can’t be starting and dropping 12 a game on 35/25/90 efficiency, KLAY NEEDED TO LOSE HIS PRIDE FOR THE SAKE OF THE TEAM AND ACCEPT HIS ROLL BUT HE DONT WANNA

[@supernotnatural]

1-) Jordan Poole isn't liked in Washington Wizards either. He is known for his bad behaviour and his ego. You're talking like Draymond hit Steven Adams. LMFAO. Jordan Poole was ego-maniac and thought he is next star. He wasn't and stealing money at the moment due to 1 year good play. You have no idea about NBA so stop talking. 2-) As James Harden said , NBA is business and there is no one can replace Draymond. When he was out, Warriors were going on losing streak. He is the glue of the team that keeps it together. You can replace Klay, find another shooter. You can't find Draymond. 3-) Yeah, Grayson Allen commits flagrant fouls too, doesn't make it worse player and he is loved everywhere. People like you thought Kyrie was toxic too right?

[@bigpalmore]

You are absolutely correct, If anybody should have been let go it is Draymond Green, he has hurt the Warriors in many situations. With his antics on and off the court. When the team needed him the most he was suspended at critical times of the season the last two years in particular.

The new CAP rules and 2nd apron meant the trade wouldn't have been good for clippers. It's not about loyalty. I respect Draymond the basketball player, 4 rings, glue guy, great player and one of the reasons the Warriors were so good... I can't respect Draymond Green the player/trade speculator, because like most NBA players they're playing the politics game when it comes to talking contracts, trades...etc. With PG it wasn't about loyalty, it was about what moves were available, and what direction to go. Getting nothing was better than taking massive contracts like the one for Wiggins who isn't worth what the Warriors gave him without a promising young player like Kuminga.
