Klay Thompson learns he's not all-NBA

cougfanblue CB Nose Hair

5/23/19 2:20pm

I agree with him. He should have made it.

Rise Against

5/23/19 2:22pm

Absolutely he should have. Top-four defender among guards, an efficient

NorCal Cougar

5/23/19 2:28pm

East coast bias, plus the east is way easier than the west currently, so they

Rise Against

5/23/19 2:28pm

Over who?

gmj81

5/23/19 2:28pm

Kemba, and maybe even Kyrie.

NorCal Cougar

5/23/19 2:30pm

OK, I was thinking we were talking about first team

gmj81

5/23/19 2:31pm

No, 2nd or 3rd.

NorCal Cougar

5/23/19 2:31pm

I’m okay with Kyrie, he put up crazy numbers, but not Kemba

Josef K

5/23/19 4:31pm

Maybe it’s cause he’s a shadow to 2 better players/Warrior fatigue..

HingleMcCringleberry

5/23/19 2:22pm

Klay resigning with the warriors is the biggest slam dunk in this free agency

Josef K

5/23/19 2:23pm

*re-signing

5/23/19 2:29pm

Yup. Anyone who thinks otherwise has not paid attention to a thing both Klay and

NorCal Cougar

5/23/19 2:29pm

Let's hope he doesn't break down in tears - Draymond would not approve.

JJCoug

5/23/19 2:22pm

He was still an All-Star and 2nd-Team All-Defense . I'm sure he'll cope.

NorCal Cougar

5/23/19 2:31pm

You know it cost him a lot of money right?

Baron

5/23/19 3:14pm

Yes. $30 million over 5 years. Bummer for sure, but he'll still get $191 mil.

NorCal Cougar

5/23/19 3:15pm

Love his eyeroll about Kemba making it

Odysseus

5/23/19 2:24pm

he should go somewhere else and prove it. or stay there, win titles and miss

smokymountainrain

5/23/19 2:26pm

Those two things don't have to be mutually exclusive.

Ash

5/23/19 2:38pm

lol. that goes without saying as Curry and Durant were on 1st and 2nd team.

smokymountainrain

5/23/19 2:48pm

He’s proven it time and time again. Why would he leave the

messi

5/23/19 3:28pm

you are preaching to the choir. he shouldn't leave, but at the same time

smokymountainrain

5/23/19 4:35pm

Be happy with it, that’s funny

gwill

5/23/19 3:51pm

Sure. He's about to win a third straight title. I think he can learn to

smokymountainrain

5/23/19 5:03pm

People that play at his level are not content.

gwill

5/23/19 5:21pm

"content with winning titles" is actually what i said. And yes it is very much

smokymountainrain

5/23/19 6:29pm

I really like Klay. Class act. He deserved to make it.

WDaddy

5/23/19 2:26pm

If I could handpick one player to add to the Jazz roster, it might be Klay.

Dakota Cougar

5/23/19 2:28pm

Yep...would say the same thing about the Nuggets.

cougfanblue

5/23/19 2:32pm

If he went to the sixers, Blazers, Nuggets, Bucks, jazz they'd all be ship'

Mayor of Cougartown

5/23/19 2:32pm

Not true for a few of those teams, including the Jazz.

garyfan

5/23/19 2:35pm

ok. I think he and Steph make that thing go. People don't realize how good his

Mayor of Cougartown

5/23/19 2:46pm

My point isn’t about Klay, but rather how far away from being a legitimate

garyfan

5/23/19 4:48pm

Give me KD or Steph.

thebruce

5/23/19 2:33pm

It would be silly for me to argue Klay is better than either of them.

Dakota Cougar

5/23/19 2:38pm

That cost him $20 million. Cant get a Super Max contract now

Warriors front office popping bottles of champagne upon hearing the news.

Cougazul

5/23/19 3:15pm

He’s been very public about his desire to stay with the Warriors.

Duke Silver

5/23/19 3:34pm

I'd agree if it wasn't for the Luxury tax. The multiplier, especially

BeyondTheMark

5/23/19 4:49pm

He didn't have an all nba year.

Dillinger

5/23/19 2:30pm

He started slow, but earned it the rest of the year. Maybe the best two-way

NorCal Cougar

5/23/19 2:33pm

He had a good year. I would have put Beal ahead of him.

Dillinger

5/23/19 2:36pm

Why not both?

NorCal Cougar

5/23/19 2:51pm

There are only so many spots. The main gripe I have is Kyrie as 2nd team.

Dillinger

5/23/19 3:04pm

Mike Conley also averaged 21 ppg, same TS%, same rebounds, double the assists

smokymountainrain

5/23/19 2:38pm

Recency bias. He's had a pretty good playoffs.

HingleMcCringleberry

5/23/19 2:43pm

He's right. How many guards would you take over a money shooter and lockdown

Ash

5/23/19 2:35pm

Doesn't matter. All-NBA recognizes season performance, which was down for Klay

HingleMcCringleberry

5/23/19 2:44pm

In what way was he down? He had his best defensive year, scored at a high and

NorCal Cougar

5/23/19 2:51pm

In what way(s)? His TS% was the lowest it's been in 5 years, his WS/48

BGRTHNUMEGO

5/23/19 3:02pm

Stop being logical please...

Bluedarts

5/23/19 3:07pm

Stats don't tell the whole story. Montrezl Harrell lead the league in FG%. Why

NorCal Cougar

5/23/19 4:55pm

How did the other guards who made it in over him do in those same areas? Also,

NorCal Cougar

5/23/19 3:17pm

I'm not going to do all the homework for you. Klay didn't have an all-NBA

BGRTHNUMEGO

5/23/19 4:04pm

LOL, making open 3's. You clearly don't watch the Warriors play. Klay shoots

Ash

5/23/19 4:58pm

I get your point but stats don't always tell the whole story. He didn't make

Totally agree about learning this kind of stuff on camera, with a microphone in

Game Changer

5/23/19 2:47pm

He hasn't deserved it since KD joined. Klay is an afterthought on that team now.

Bluedarts

5/23/19 2:59pm

He just locked down Lillard which lead to a sweep. He is not an afterthought.

CaliWG

5/23/19 3:28pm

He absolutely is. Steph, KD, and Draymond will all be thought of as more

Bluedarts

5/23/19 3:34pm

He may not get headlines like Steph & KD but he is a force

CaliWG

5/23/19 3:47pm

Great, he's still not all NBA this year. He underperformed plain and simple.

Bluedarts

5/23/19 4:26pm

Doesn’t that hit him big with his contract or did he already secure that bump?

cougfanz

5/23/19 3:07pm

Yes, it will affect his contract.

cougfanblue

5/23/19 3:10pm

Do you know specifics? How mich will it cost him?

2018grad

5/23/19 4:11pm

$30 million

cougfanblue

5/23/19 4:13pm

So sad. I feel for him. Now he can only earn five years for $191 million.

777

5/23/19 4:18pm

I think KD joining the team cost him a lot of money...

diluigifan

5/23/19 3:11pm

That's probably true

TNT

5/23/19 3:18pm

He did not deserve to be All-NBA this year and one stat tells it all

kimdaddy35

5/23/19 4:09pm

He is nowhere to be found in any top lists of advanced stats.
