Klay just lost out on $30M because of all-nba team snub

[swoop1]

All I have to say....

Too bad

 

[playahaitian]

the players BETTER change this in the NEXT CBA

 

[Mask]

Man them dubs gonna try to break the scoreboard next time they play

 

[largebillsonlyplease]

But GS still giving him the max anyway right? Or at least they better

Maxed out
Just can't super max
Had nothing to do with the team just what he could get

 

[godofwine]

Didn't realize they tied their salary to that shit. I can't fucking believed they let sportswriters have any influence on their fucking contracts! That's dumb af.

Nobody realizes it's dumb as fuck until people are affected by it and you're stuck holding the bag standing next to Lady heroine looking dumb.

The NFLPA let the owners con them into and putting a franchise tag in 1993.

Now, it was intended so that star players like Barry Sanders and Jerry Rice - Marquee players wouldn't be able to jump squats and leave their teams destitute, but it transformed into teams holding a player hostage for a year or more with no intention of ever giving them a long-term deal.

Meanwhile the entire injury risk is on the player. If he gets hurt, the next year he gets no long-term, big money deal. I was going to do some research on the bums that were franchise tag that never got long-term deals, but it's late and I'm tired

He deserves every penny

 

[DirtyCake]

Kyrie had a very good regular season and was the best player on a playoff team.

His season wasn't better than Westbrook's for sure.

 

[DirtyCake]

Dude was pissed, but he didn't get snubbed

Kemba was everything for his team

And they still missed the playoffs....

 

[pookie]

The eye roll

Dude was pissed, but he didn't get snubbed

Kemba was everything for his team

I didn’t know it cost him money, when I saw this interview last night and his reaction and was like “Damnit Klay, now they gonna run this into the ground talking about is proof you’re leaving after the season”

 

[REDLINE]

And they still missed the playoffs....

Yep, if it was my team he wouldn’t get 200 mill from me

 

[shaddyvillethug]

Yep, if it was my team he wouldn’t get 209 mill from me

Nigga trash

LOL at Kemba Walker deserving it over Klay Thompson. Klay is being punished for being on a super team. And in my opinion he's the second best warrior not named Kevin Durant

 

[alexw]

Hell Kevin Durant is the best player in basketball and they put him on the second team. The sportswriters don't need this kind of power. They're idiots with agendas

 

[xxironxx]

Oh well. You're the 3rd fiddle offensively and 4th fiddle overall on your team. Be happy with that 191

 

[alexw]

Be fair..sometimes hes the go to guy on offense and defensively hes always on the opponent's best player locking them down. He was fucked.

 

[Coldchi]

he can only get 191 million......for fucks sake.....how is he gonna be able to feed his family???

I don't know why yall do this. No one said he was going to starve. However, a fucking sportswriter just took $30M out of his fucking pocket.

Just looked at the full list... best player in the league right now and back to back FINALs MVP and dude on the second team..lmbaooo

Put the pipe down.

 

[footloose]

Kevin Durant taking all the shots lost him $30 mil. Hey. But he’s just happy getting rings

 

[shaddyvillethug]

Who suppose to be taken off????????

Klay is the emmit smith of the triplets

Nobody cares after u say mike Irvin and Aikman Name.

 

[shaddyvillethug]

How y’all know he was gonna get offered the super max?

So the 3rd fiddle out the band gets to be the highest paid?

Foh

George Harrison isn’t the most famous beetle.

 

[shaddyvillethug]

He will never be first team again.

 

[xfactor]

The team would’ve gladly paid the $220 to max him out.

He could easily accomplish the same as Kemba Walker so he is deserving.

Best for him to leave and be the 1st or 2nd option on another team.

With his ability to catch and shoot and move without the ball, putting up almost 40 points in a quarter and 60 in less than 30 minutes, I’m sure with a PG that can get him the rock in space, he’d lead the league in scoring.

the shit is fucked up.

Always thought he was the most underappreciated player in the league... a true two-way player who can lock down the best guards in the league and also light it up offensively.. he probably won't leave but I always thought he was the best candidate to bounce

 

[shaddyvillethug]

If only spreewell woulda made first team in 2004

The problem is its impossible to find impartial parties to vote on these things.

Personally i would rather have coaches pick, but thats imperfect too.

I dont think i would have put Klay 3rd team though.

His job is just too easy on offense.

We gotta reward guys who carry their teams. Thats worth alot imho.

 

[Riggz]

That aint cool...doesn't he have kids to feed...how are they going to eat?

Man everybody on the Warriors job is easy on offense but what he does on defense is incredible. Besides Kawhi Leonard Nobody Does it Better. Why do fans act like defense doesn't matter. It absolutely does with his production on offense and when he does defensively he should always be all NBA
