[Mavs2021]

Have you all missed the number of times Klay couldn't hit the broad side of a barn in games that mattered in the past two years? Goodness gracious.

100% with your assessment.

Based on all the (beloved ) advanced metrics Thompson was a worse player than CP3, Saric, Podziemski, Jackson-Davis and about 7th to 10th best on the team. 

All you need to do is think this through logically.

Klay Thompson is an all-time Warriors legend, so they just won´t let him walk for nothing over a dollar here or there. They must be very far apart on their evaluation and what Thompson can still contribute. 

Klay Thompson has $266M in career earnings, so it´s not a DJJ "starving" situation either. Orlando allegedly offers him 50/2. He is 35 years old coming off torn achilles and ACL. Yet he´s demanding a 3rd year. That tells you everything about where his head is at and what he thinks about the ability of his body to hold up.

Nobody is offering him the 3rd year, so why should we? Does he really wants to be here and have the 3rd year!? Good. Here is 42/3 instead of 50/2. Take that.

It´s absolutely insane that some people want to give 75/3 to Klay, but think Simons at 52/2 is grossly overpaid.
