Dubs couldn’t just keep living in the past, and what a past it was, but it is time to move on. Thanks Klay for all the memories!

[@dontbanmebrodontbanme5403]

It's always the hardest part of any great run. Being able to recognize when the run is over and making changes, even if they're painful. I'm not even a Warriors fan and I feel a tad sentimental.

What is the disrespect? It was Thompson who solved the missing puzzle piece!

[@NBAGRILL]

@@Fightforyourlif3 yeah but he left that is dis respect

[@l31007]

Klay didnt contribute much for the 2022 ring. I would say that Steph, Wiggs, and Loons carried the team. Dray also is not what he used to be. He had maybe 3 good games in the whole 2022 playoffs.

[@NBAGRILL]

[@jsociety4964]

This is depressing we better give Steph some help. I knew Klay was gone Even before the play-in we can’t keep living in the past forever.

[@stevelouie5928]

We need Wiggins to come back like the pre contract Wiggins. If that happens, we will be okay.

Aint even mad. Got us 4 rings and he was already on the decline.

He is about to get the 5th one

Not with crybaby Luka though. Maybe if he joins the Celtics?

Imagine the many open 3's he'll shoot playing alongside Luka Doncic. He made the right choice and he might get his 5th ring next season.

[@kcfilmstudio]

Spelled his initials wrong lol😂

[@CastorTroy30]

He’s NOT the same player. He took less to play in Dallas. It was a personal and an emotional decision. NOT a business one. He probably felt disrespected and needs a fresh start to prove something. I wish him the best. But judging from last season’s performance, he’s on a decline by Warriors’ standards which for some teams might still be good. FACTS!

talking about disrespect then why did lacob gave him the max extension when he was out 2 plus years with injuries i think that’s pretty damn good respect but klay is not the same player anymore time to move on and klay would have been a cancer to the team if he stays

[@RudeAwakening1971]

The guy had 5, yes FIVE, games in which he scored 0 points…yes ZERO POINTS

[@stevelouie5928]

Who thinks Klay went 0-10 in the play in game on purpose because they didn't offer him a contract before the end of the season. That's the type of player he is. I wouldn't be surprised if this motivates him to win another championship just to say In Your Face.

[@centaur70]

As a die hard Dubs fan I always said enjoy it while you can.. At some point age is going to catch up with every player.. Yeah he wasn't his old self but you have to figure in huge injuries with a combo of age. He had two negative things going against him. Nevertheless I still wanted the core group intact. Like Dray said they all had a pact to retire together on the same team. Thanks for all you did and the rings you brought us.. Good luck on the rest of your journey.. On a side note the Dubs offered him 24 mill a year and he turned it down for 16 mill from Dallas.. Not sure what his mindset was. That was before the season started. Maybe he thought he was going to put up insane numbers this past season who knows.. He made a mistake by not taking the Dubs offer..

@@CesoeFelony so you carried that out now that he's coaching the W? there are lot more "dirty players" then and now - Bill Laimber for one, also that ex-Grizzlies who was dealt to the Rockets last season. Today as GM, I'm certain he's not making decision today all by himself. And that may not make him not likeable by his players.

Green ended the franchise years ago, they were supposed to get 5-6 rings but his ego and unproffessionalism ruined the team, Green got 120m even after his antics cost them that 5th ring, I blame Curry for not being a leader and making green accountable for his bs.
