Nope, I wish they kept him as well and to be moved to the HornetsAm i the only one that would rather Josh Green than Klay?
Absolutely not. At best maybe you get more out of Klay next season but seems you're giving up a better defender and more athletic player for a washed up shooter. Sure he may have a few more old man smarts but if Luka keeps holding the ball not sure how that helps.Am i the only one that would rather Josh Green than Klay?
I mean objectively Klay is just a better player at the moment, who knows going forward. Green fluctuates wildly and is unplayable in a lot of big games. Luka is great at generating open looks for team mates, Klay playing alongside one of the best play makers in the league will be good for him.Absolutely not.

For Green hopefully he'll be able to develop a bit more offensively with the bobcats and land a nice deal.
Link?Celtics up for sale.
No tax in Texas and mavs have a better chance at a title than the warriors.Didn't they offer him 2/48 before the season? 50% more per season than he eventually took.
Bit weird how it all played out, regardless. Never feels right seeing a stalwart leave in these circumstances.
Pistons with a pistons move.Lol 26 million a year for Tobias... Good luck Detroit.
He is still one of the best 3 point shooters in the league, he is just no longer an elite player. He is an elite shooter who needs to share the court with other players to cover his weaknesses. Plenty of players in the league that are essentially just defensive specialists or shooters or rebounders. Klay is not washed as a player, he still has something to offer.Klay is so washed. 3 years is insanity

He has fallen off the cliff. The decline will be rapid now. Lots of money for a spot up shooter who is a statue on defence.He is still one of the best 3 point shooters in the league, he is just no longer an elite player.

Hartenstein just got 30 million dollars a yearHe has fallen off the cliff. The decline will be rapid now. Lots of money for a spot up shooter who is a statue on defence.
He will get 6 shots a game up with Irving/Doncic at the helmHe is still one of the best 3 point shooters in the league, he is just no longer an elite player.

Loyalty is not owed in sport, he delivered them 4 rings and they delivered him generational wealth. Neither party owed the other anything.What an absolutely piece of shit Klay Thompson is btw
Sooks and moans about GSW mot offering him the max or enough money then leaves to take 17 mill at Dallas
Zero loyalty when it was very easy to show sone.
He is literally just a THJ replacement and he is a massive upgrade over him. He will play most of his minutes with probably only one of Kyrie or Luka on the floor and be an incredible floor spacer for a team that has a guy that is constantly double teamed. They now have a choice to make between doubling Luka and leaving a lethal 3 point shooter open or trying to guard Luka straight up.He will get 6 shots a game up with Irving/Doncic at the helm
Its a shocking fit really. He either starts at SF and gets monstered by other SF making the defense worse or he comes off the bench which isnt something he has shown he can do
They also lose Josh Green too who isnt a bad player at all
Most logical move was to stay at Warriors

Seems Mavs falling into that trap of throwing money and traders for older vets when you're contending which often sees it not work and you've also ****ed your future.

Very well put. Forgot about Grimes coming in .He is literally just a THJ replacement and he is a massive upgrade over him.

Green minutes will be eaten up by Marshall and Grimes. He is an okay role player but he goes completely missing in so many games.
Oh he will get a bigger role by simply being better, THJ wasn't benched because he wasn't needed. He was benched because he was so dog shit he was unplayable. He is not only a better shooter but somehow even in his current state probably a better defender.Very well put. Forgot about Grimes coming in .
In saying that surely Klay wants a bigger role then THJ had? Id be shocked if he agreed to go on the basis of being a bench bum
