    You guys calling him washed but he’s vintage Klay when he plays the Rockets, that’s all I care about. That’s why we couldn’t beat GS for nothing because you had both Steph and Klay going off. Now he’s on a team with two other guys the Rockets can’t seem to guard either which is worst case scenario imo. I would have rather him go East or go to an older team like the Lakers. Dallas is better plain and simple. It’s not going to be easy playing them with 3 Rockets killers.

    Chill. They have 3 starters that can't guard anyone.

    Meh, Rockets needs to start being a competitive playoff team before they start thinking about taking down Dallas.

    He was originally offerred what? 2 yr 48 mil. GSW couldn't do 3 years? :D

    The reported Mavs deal is marginally better.

    Oh Klay.

    KCP: Younger, way better defender, has championship pedigree. Might not have a higher ceiling on any given night, but the floor is definitely higher for him than Klay's floor.

    Regardless, this Dallas run to the Finals was a flash in the pan. It's going to be extremely hard to sniff the Finals again, in the West.

    Especially with the Rockets this year adding another 19 games above last year's total. League aren't aware of what the Rockets are about to throw down.

    Good point. Btw Klay is a b**** GSW already have him his Kobe/Dirk style thank you and he still has the gall to get offended. GSW paid him the max for 2 yrs as he rehabbed lol.

    Their goal is to topple the Celtics and KT is not enough. They lost their best perimeter defender because he switched agencies.

    To the Clippers lol.

    I don't like the Mavs and Klay has enough rings for my taste so I am hoping that team gets eliminated in the 2nd round next season.

    I heard he was insulted that they gave Draymond what he wanted no questions asked then negotiated when it came to Klay. I'd be disgusted too. The guy's rich enough where it's not about money anymore.

    klay is also nowhere near as good or as important to the warriors as green, nor has he ever been
