No he is not taking home more after taxes. All players have to pay taxes to states where the games are played. So he is paying less on the 41 games played at home but he took a sizable cut from 24 mil down to 15.5 mil. His state taxes on the 41 home games would have cost between $1-$1.5mil. So Klay left $7 mil per year on the table to play in Dallas.

@@moneyball647 an easy explanation to the OPs comment is that there is no State Tax in Texas. But that doesnt really matter that much here because these players pay out-of-state-tax in the NBA. To simplify and to not get into math much, what Thompson saves in State Taxes is not really that much when you account for Federal Tax, out-of-state tax, and his actual contract being LOWER than what the Warriors wanted to offer him BEFORE THE SEASON STARTED.

Klays not washed. He’s just watered down from what he was. 39% from three and 17.9 Ppg is still a very good 3rd option which is what he’ll be for the mavs. His defense isn’t elite anymore since the injuries but it’s still serviceable and the mavs defense is built for the guards to funnel every body into the paint where the bigs can clean up which I’m very sure he’ll heavily benefit from. This is a huge upgrade from the shot chucker THJ and the inconsistent Josh Green.

So early! Good job. They call me the great Dane 🇩🇰🇩🇰🇩🇰

Genius move for the mavs. When luka is doubled on drives, he can kick it out to the second best shooter in the league.

Bro is grinding!

I'm a huge GSW fan but I completely understand that his decision to leave GSW is obviously not about the money, but how his value as a huge part of the dynasty was almost put on the gutter. To be quite honest he will definitely fit well along side Luca nd Kyrie, good decision.

First time comment, I totally agree with you about Klay. Can't wait to see him play with the Mavs. Not a fan but he's got game.

He’s on a championship level team . He can be a sixth man that can score 20 and play defense in 12-18 minutes a night

I remember watching that dunk by Klay against the Raptors in the 2019 Finals when he tore his ACL. Hard to believe that one moment when he lost his footing coming down would lead to his career trajectory being altered so significantly.

Klay always start the season in a shooting slump and eventually finds his rhythm mid season. But since after the injury it feels like he never got out off the shooting slump.

Yessssss ! Klay’s gonna be huge for the mavs, he gonna bring a LOT of experience and ofc is gonna be crucial for the spacing of that team in the playoffs.

I'm going to miss Klay with the Warriors😔. I think his feelings got hurt, when he went scoreless the entire play-in-game.😮

people so quick to forget that after the Warriors 4th championship their GM stepped down so ofc nothing has been the same since..

after that last game in a warriors jersey.... I hope he returns to previous form for mavs sake

Never was a Warriors fan actually hated that team but always was a Klay fan he my 2nd favorite shooter behind Ray but he’s joining The Slash 🔪 bros 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

It’s crazy to me that a player averaging 18ppg on 39% from 3 is considered washed when that player never averaged 25ppg for a season. It’s not like he was a 28ppg guy who dropped 10ppg. His career avg is like 19.5. His defense has fallen because of injuries but offensively he’s not that far off.

I knew this was going to happen I just didn't know how it's going to happen but it's still funny to me😂

I really wanted to to see him play next to Bron but nice to see him go somewhere instead of staying

Facts🔥

I respect the heck out of Klay Thompson, but he wasn't holding back, he's washed. There is nothing wrong with that...He had back to back potentially career ending injuries, came back against all odds, and got #4. He's an all-time great, 2nd best shooter to ever live. He's 34...He's old for an NBA player, shoot...he's old for a profesison athlete in any physically demanding sport. I believe in the Bill Walsh theory of "It's better to lose them a year earlythan hold onto them a year late. I hope for him that he finds happiness with the Mavs. He deserves it. What he didn't desrve was the contract he wanted from the Dubs. Farwell for now, Splash Bro, can't wait to see you #11 hanging at Chase. Thank you for 13 years of unbelievable memories.

If Klay can average 16-18 on 39-40% from 3, the Mavs will kill it next season. Klay is about to get the easiest looks hes had since the Warriors 2015-2019 run

Klay was asked to be the number 2 option on a team that had difficulty spacing the floor outside of Curry. It will be a more comfortable fit.

As a GSW Klay got all the respect got to get on the floor even while going 0/11 like idk why he leaving but it has to be some behind closed doors.

new organization with an excited attitude about him being there will do wonders....his expectations will be low, just hit key shots from dishes made from Luka or Kyrie....they just need a consistent shooter to pair with Washington

Bro my how fast people forget the truth of things, Tim Hardaway Jr. and Derrick Smith Jr are the reason they won the Conference Finals. Luka said in the after game interview "those are our dawgs." The man scored like 20 pts in 18 minutes one game.

2 years for 48 million or 3 years for 50 million….. guess Klay’s mathematics are a bit off. As a Golden State Warriors fan, I wish him nothing but the best but he is not what he used to be.

Cmon! Yall should have seen this coming the day Bob Myers left. It was a big sign that huge changes were gonna happen.

The problem with klays numbers is that o warched the games, his shot selection is trash, he thinks he is a DeRozan type player with the tought mid rangers and shut. He's a god doing his thing playing offball to shot or drive. Hope he comes back strong

Mike can you make more sim videos

Klay was playing with one foot out the door the entire season. He wasn't benched b/c of his very up and down shooting (although that didn't help). He was benched b/c of his bad defense and absolutely horrible decision making at the end of games. You could tell each game, before tip off, if he was going to have a bad game just by his demeanor.

GSW fan who watched every game last year and Klay is the classic player who has lost a step, brings no defense, rebounding, penetration. I hope it works out for all involved but if all you need is an outside shooter you go to the G-league or the draft

Dallas plays iso ball, not like Warriors constant ball movement, I wonder if Klay is going to be frustrated with that. He's never been the guy to solo people

If the Warriors can use his salary slot to get younger and more athletic, or if Klay continues his decline, then the decision to let him go will be validated. I think both scenarios are likely.

Golden State will always love klay through and through. I just became a minor Mavs fan

I agree with Klay him wanting to leave the Warriors is a good decision because I don't for one second believe that if he resigned with the warriors that their going to beat any other team but to the Mavericks well that's a complete different story i definitely wouldn't choose Lakers but Mavericks already have high powered offense

Warriors need to be in full rebuild mode... too many old players on that team
