I think the organizations is in a good place because they changed their approach and would be disappointed if they fall back into bad habits of the past. Klay isn't as bad as DAJ or Deron Williams when they signed with the Mavs but the vibes are similar.
It obviously comes down to the contract size but if he is asking for 20+ million and a starting role the impact/production he showed post injury simply isn't enough.
With today's salaries, we'll just disagree on his value. Players make upwards of 60 million per year now. This isn't 5 years ago. 20 million for a guy that averages 18 PPG on super efficient catch and shoot 3s with high volume seems very reasonable. He's 34, not 37 or 38. His game isn't based on being a freak athlete. He catches and lets it rip 9 times a game from deep.
