What's Next For The Warriors After Play-In Loss To The Kings? | 4/17/24

Dan Patrick discusses what's next for the Golden State Warriors after losing in the play-in tournament to the Sacramento Kings

[@Nextbesthing81]

If anybody pays him 2 years, 50 million.... good for him, but that GM should immediately be fired.

[@brianerisca6822]

He shot 38% from three in a bad year he's easily getting that

[@frankieclayton9303]

Warriors must get players that are skilled get things done Excute finish dominant focused in shoot impactful

[@jurgbalt]

dude - nobody is giving Klay 2y 40mill at this point 🤣. at this point even lottery teams would not give him half of that

[@damondarden6298]

Why he avg 17.9 this season would take him or Caruso from Chicago

[@20Schmidt]

Agree

[@MyKeeP81]

he def getting that

[@dmichael100]

Someone will offer him that. There will be teams with money they have to spend and adding a veteran shooter with championship pedigree to a mediocre team would appeal to some.

[@ou8428]

Caruso is an ELITE defender while Klay is a cone that couldn't guard ME. On offense, Caruso has offball game AND can create with dribble penetration drives, while Klay was NEVER good at that and even less so now that's washed up cuz of age+injuries+shit attitude. Caruso was also pretty key into Lakers 2020 chip, while Klay hasn't been relevant as a contributor to a finals championships win since 2017​@@damondarden6298

[@user-vc1ed9ty8f]

A dude who just went 0/10 in an important game is in no position to dictate anything. He'll get what gets and like it. Because he's cooked as a player.

[@kohort1]

Yeah 0/10 with the defense focused on doubling Stephen. Jk was ok, but he was far from aggressive. He's always driving then posting up and passing. Like a dog protecting it's tail.

[@briankleinschmidt3664]

Replace Klay and Draymond. Irreplaceable? It's my life's experience that no one is irreplaceable.

[@frankieclayton9303]

Warriors must get a dominant two way center as defensive player shooter

[@jackjackthompson5771]

Im sorry but nobody “deserves” a supermax. These guys are already insanely wealthy. If klay is done so be it. This is nuts. So you get 10s of millions just because? Klay almost always underperformed. Had some super seasons a long time ago. He makes millions…this is nuts

[@Hoodlum728]

100% for playing a kids game…

[@khalmasonart]

They think they deserves to be paid based on what they have done in the past. They expect front offices to jeopardise their futures to give them a “thank you” contract.

[@johnthrasher8146]

Kings lost two key players down the stretch in Monk and Huerter. Lot of points and savvy the team had real difficulty replacing when those two went down.

[@alexshirley6096]

Draymond green will be blackballed from the league deservingly so that’s for sure

[@trevormiles4952]

Agree Dan Klay was BAD last close out game.vs Lakers

[@20Schmidt]

Thompson looks done.. Stuck with Green (one year in on his deal..would there be any takers for him via trade?..pretty tough, with his own decline and everything else..the drama)

[@g.o.a.tjames8861]

Klay games 4,5,6 vs Lakers: 9pts on 21%FG (26%3FG)❗️

[@kohort1]

Klay is 2016 Harrison Barnes

[@TiggerLyOne]

Warriors need a quality big. If their culture is as strong as they hyped, they should sign and develop BolBol.

[@MyKeeP81]

definitely

[@RogerBiwandu]

I so agree with Dan here, 1st it's a business, it's not personal like they said, but if we think business, get a ride of Klay and Chris Paul, me personally I would have kept Jordan Pool over Draymond... Anyway, everything comes to a end, it can be sad, but that the order of things.

[@DrPhill96]

You get paid max dollars for what you have done + what you do + what you are forecasted to do. At this point, Klay can only get paid 1/3 of that based off what he has done. But, I hope the Warriors pay him as much as possible to kill their cap and chances. 😊

[@ou8428]

Same

[@richardanderson8108]

Klay has nothing to prove , just dont want him to end up with a serious injury that impacts him for the rest of his life. An agreeable starting base salary with bonuses for a field goal percentage ,turnovers, games played,etc. Ya it's business,it applies to construction workers called piece work for a hell of a lot less money. Wishing Klay and the Warriors all the best in their endeavors.

[@joe_higachi]

That jacket

[@SomeChink]

“Stuck” is the perfect way to describe GSW with Draymond, because his usefulness is directly tied to Steph and Klay’s level when it comes to shooting the ball

[@kohort1]

Instead of 2 years 40 or 2 yrs 25, what about 3 yrs 45?

[@mellarx1277]

There's another option: Trade the g(OLD)den state warriors core players for younger assets to rebuild for the future much like what the Boston Celtics did with Allen, Pierce, Garnett.

[@unclesnake3766]

Klay ought to just stay in GS if they'll have him. They paid him, he was injured they owe him nothing in that regard. He can blend in there and fade away as he's been doing. If he moves on, with a big contract he immediately becomes a story, good or bad that could tarnish his career.

[@billwill1337]

Green has cost the Warriors a championship and has been responsible for many more loses than Thompson has.

[@fidodidohr1]

every1 is asking what klay wants, and no1 is asking if anybody wants klay at this point ^_^

[@user-xv1sr3uy7p]

Klay should sign with the warriors for 2 years 8million aka the russell Westbrook contract. Would be great for the team. Klay has a lot of money already he is good for 20 lifetimes

[@SMW34]

The problem is - you can draft, but can you develop?? At a certain point, teams have to look deeper at how they develop guys. Everyone isn't plug and play from day one. Some guys - especially younger ones - require patience, time and development. The Warriors thought they could compete and develop concurrently. They did not.

[@raausar7371]

They biggest mistake was drafting Wiseman should have drafted Melo Ball

[@garyspence2128]

They still had enough great guardguards

[@SMW34]

@@raausar7371 Easy to say that when the Warriors didn't develop Wiseman. Also, probably not a good idea to assume LaMelo would've fit the Warriors. Again, you can draft, but can you develop?

[@garrusvakarian6322]

If you’re a free agent why would you not want to go play in San Antonio with Wemby? Come to The Spurs Klay. You will win. Go Spurs Go.

[@ajjamaal646]

if i'm GS, I'm not giving Klay 20 mil a year...2 years 26 mil, take it or leave it..

[@20Schmidt]

ALL sports franchises hit & miss regarding their respective drafts. Easiest thing in world is to second-guess (“they should have taken him or him instead of him”)..c’mon Paulie

[@shorafarahani]

how about a sign and trade of Chris Paul for Ingram? Pelicans desperately needed a point guard last night - and IF Zion is going to be that good, they dont need Ingram

[@henryzhang9915]

GSW should fire KT11 at once! That bum needs to go, and stop calling him a HOF, he's not, he is just a glorified teammate of SC. He will never average more than 20 anymore if he's no longer with the GSW.

[@danaconda5178]

Kerr needs to walk. Klay has to go. His D sux. Negative chip on shoulder. Trade Green. Trade Wiggs. Chris Paul walks. New coach. Pickup scoring center Pick up great shooting guard

[@natethegreat3602]

The warriors messed up they could have had Haliburton or Maxey instead of Wiseman. klay should have been cut after his injuries. Wiggins should have been traded after that title. Cut draymond he's a cancer and bully. The organization is screwed up

[@natethegreat3602]

Ahh yep give me $40 million to go san Antonio or Orlando no income tax or property tax

[@AntBearPig]

no income tax yes but they do have property taxes in san antonio and orlando and pretty much everywhere except in the very rural areas.

[@Relax-il7zn]

All the Warriors need is a little size. Not to play the if game, but they had like 10 games that they blew massive leads in a stacked western conference. They could've easily had 56 wins. They still had a good record despite having so many things going against them. But fr if they just add size and don't have as many things go wrong, and develop their young players another year. They could be a sleeper. Just saying. Move CP and Wigggins.

[@rossw5576]

How can this be? I thought they were a dynasty?

[@chirocket4791]

Dubs time is over.

[@ipsun1632]

Ben simmons would score at least 1 points

[@jacks5183]

Zion way overrated, plays one good game out of every 30 or 40, if he’s healthy

[@andrem.thomas332]

Sacramento is probably the worst defensive team in the NBA. Dan just talking

[@jaywinger79]

Worst? No. Look at the defensive stats since Keon Ellis started playing more and, while they aren't great, they have become much more solid. Would I count on them to effectively stop good offenses consistently? No, especially for rim protection. But they are much better perimeter defenders than past years with Fox, Ellis, Mitchell, and Murray playing solid to excellent defense this year.

[@asim6998]

Kings actually have 5th best defensive record since the all-star break but that point in mute because this is more about the Warriors uncertain future than a play-in loss to the Kings.

[@20Schmidt]

Much improved from last year..mid-league, defensively (17th PA)

[@graybush1776]

Stop sucking your fingers weirdo

[@TP-ne6ez]

NBA??? Who the hell cares... basketball season is over since NCAA tourney ended.

[@MyKeeP81]

nobody cares about ncaa basketball outside of the tournament.

[@TP-ne6ez]

@@MyKeeP81 That would be the NBA as well...nobody gives a shit about the NBA season, Its a three point shooting contest topped with what LeCry James is bawling about each night, crappy entertainment.
