He didn’t want to be buried on the depth chart behind a rookie that averaged 4 PPG on a bad USC team
Lol 😂😅
@@chrisbradford4654 🤣I believe it 100%. I think we all know Bronny ain't playing G League, good for Klay
Facts!
🤣🤣🤣
😂😂😂😂😂😂
Yea…imagine a guy with Klay’s resume going from Steve Kerr to JJ Redick as your coach.
Jason Kidd is the best option?
Lol imagine thinking Kerr is actually a good coach
💯
Kerr is a terrible coach
@@SojiRo23 I don't understand how y'all can say a coach with 4 championships is a bad coach. If you're gonna say it's because of the players, then every coach was bad that won
The LEtoxic effect
The less state taxes effect
And front office!
@@stonedecatur6602 Keep telling yourself that.
Can’t blame Klay for going to a contender and on top of that less taxes. Lebron Inc is destroying the Lakers.
@@gugy68 by helping them to get a ring.
Awesome...telling the narcissist no is great news. Good for you Klay.
@@chipferguson5129 Making your own decision without influence from media pundits and useless haters, better.
His dad even asked him to play in LA and he said negative.
Did he tell u that personally??
No state taxes (IDK what Doug says. I served and even the with the peanuts I was making makes a difference) , nice area, better team with a longer future, less drama off the court, better management, better coaching staff, more durable stars, shall I go on? Everything does not have to be a shot against someone, sometimes it's just a better situation.
Lol
@@taylorquiroz3656the dad literally said it in public goofy
I heard his Dad on an interview today.
GS should have shipped Dray out and guarantee splash bro to stay
I feel that way too
THIS!!!
Without Dray their win % plummets
Why would he want to play with lebron anyway? Didnt he face him in like 4 straight NBA finals? Imagine karl malone joining michael jordan in chicago. Imagine magic johnson joining larry bird in boston. I dont think it had anything to do with the lakers current roster,its basically the fact that why would u want to help basically your rival win another ring?
Word.
Imagine Kevin Durant going to the team that beat him the previous year while being up on that same team 3-1.
Yea that’s why he’s teaming up w kyrie
@@JorgeHernandez-iv3bq yea cuz kyrie the best player on the mavs.say something else dumb now
@@MIGGYME1 bro what does him being the best player on the mavs have to do w ur statement, to ur logic right ?…Why would klay want to help his rival whim another ring, klay was the one who was guarding kyrie most of the time while they hid steph on defense, hella dumb, don’t gotta get all defensive abt it and move the goalpost, even w ur extension to the argument that has nothing to do w the first one, who’s to say AD won’t be the best player on the lakers next year
I think the Lakers picking Bronny shows players LA is not serious about trying to get a ring next year
the 55th pick in the draft..... yeah im sure that showed players lol
It’s more about hiring JJ and the constant appeasement of Bron.
@@gugy68 sure
@@mo-ab7315shut up. You don't know anything about basketball. Bronny sorry ass is still going to get minutes despite being the 55th pick and waste valuable game time. Lakers are a clown show and not serious about winning.
Having Lebron as one of your two best players shows youre not serious about a title.
Doug's income tax dismissal is pure cope. Doug needs to tell himself that California taxes aren't that bad so he'll feel better about living there. Klay would basically being paying CA 10% of 50 million dollars. Whatever property taxes he pays in TX won't come close to 5 million dollars. Also, TX mansions are like half the price of CA mansions. And CA has a special mansion tax when you sell your home too! But yes, the weather is nice in OC.
I would NEVER move to Texas -Californian.
I agree w/ u as far as this guy tryna rationalize Klays decision but Klay not worried about no taxes bro. That man is on a mission. He just wants to play ball w/ zero distractions, stick it GSW & win another ring. Kyrie showed him Dallas is a safe haven for the black sheep’s & the villain. True to the name “Mavericks”
Blah blah blah. Texas has a corrupt State government and women get arrested for wanting to have CHOICE in their HEALTH CARE. IT IS A BACKWARD STATE RUN BY BIBLE THUMPERS AND A GOVERNOR THAT IS IN BED WITH FOREIGN GLOBAL GANGSTERS. Klay is a CA boy. But he is going to play for J Kidd for starters. LA is a hot mess. Not about the tax thing. Breaks my heart about Klay leaving GS but it wasn't about cost of taxes in CA. He would have stayed if all things were still right.
Exactly
Kawhi Leonard Paul George and now Klay Thompson none of them want to play for their childhood favorite team and that says all you need to know.
Because the LA Lakers are a dumpster fire. Rampant with nepotism and low IQ.
Kawhi and George didn't win with their decisions, so there.....
@@jandt3463I don't think they feel sorry about their decisions, not everything is one bubble title
@@Kodreanu23 1 title is better than none, but given they getting paid regardless, most NBA players would have 0 regrets in that regard. Paid whether they win or not.
@@jandt3463 Kawhi has two titles, Klay has four, so don't pretend they didn't win anything.
Orrrre the Mavs are a better team and there's no state income tax in Texas
You making sense three other people just like to talk just because they can’t win in life
@@mr3000sr Easy choice.
🤣🤣its not like they just implemented the no income tax…. Hasnt stopped the lakers from getting guys in the past and its never made the rockets or mavs a free agent destination. The mavs are a just head and shoulders better
Mavs team ain't going nowhere and living in California with money is far better than Texas. Bet he ain't selling his California crib.
@@ericthomas6086 your definitely right about that🤣 he only has to work there half the yr
Klay will be special this year.
Kerr completely changed the offense, Klay was going ISO and missing. He dribbled more.this year than in the last 10 combined.
Dallas will have him doing pin downs and catch and shoot. He will light it up easily.
Yessssir
The sense of entitlement that the Lakers feel they should get whoever they want is incredible.
The Lakers dont need klay hes washed this is nothing knew media spinning it to try and make the lakers look bad lol
Boston = Title Town
LA = Entitle Town
@@mattmolt-bb1iw They don't need the media to make themselves look bad.
@@mattmolt-bb1iw Who made the finals this year? Pretty sure it wasn't the Lakers.
@@mattmolt-bb1iwbe quiet clown 🤡. You’re not a true lakers fan. You’re a Lebum fan.
I swear I media cannot comprehend anyone who decides to go to any team other than LA or NY lol.
Baffling.
Let’s be honest. Players been dodging playing with LeBron for years since he went back to Cleveland. LeBron have played with a lot of players in this league. & players talk. They may say publicly how much they love playing with him but there’s rarely a time where you see guys who left LeBron & come back to play with him. KD called it out years ago. But the media blame Cleveland as to why nobody wanted to play with LeBron. Now he’s in LA and I remember Kawhi was going to LA in 2018 and changed his mind with LeBron went to the Lakers.
Like when guys didn't wanna play with Kobe.
@@jandt3463...don't say that to loud lol.
I give Klay much respect for not choosing Lakers. That would have crushed Steph. You're leaving, to go help LeBron win #5? I hope everything works out for the man, he's sure gave myself and my family, plenty to be glad about. Warrior and Splash Bro for LIFE... 👌🏾
Even if Klay was a Laker there isn't a chance the Lakers win Championship
Clay is not on Steph level
You said took a backseat to Steph like he had a option 😂
You mean he didn't want to go to the LA LeBrons?
Zaire Wade went to go play for the Cape Town Tigers in South Africa, and now he is with the Macau Black Bears.
No one wants to play with LeBron, from a basketball perspective while Kyrie and Luka are dream teammates for a player like Klay.
Bro there’s no State Taxes in Texas WTF ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT
Smart by Warriors. They can still make some good moves and might be able to make one last run with Curry for a chip. Not probable but not impossible.
Warriors only chips will be in Vegas. They are winning nothing but a trip to Cancun going forward
Warriors just signed Kyle Andersen to a 27 M contract 3 years
Reasons why Klay chose Dallas over LA:
1. LA is now a shithole. (I know a multimillionaire who said that he's afraid leave his wife and travel for business because there are so many breakins.)
2. Klay is good friends with Kyrie.
3. Dallas is a better team than the Lakers even without Klay.
4. Lakers will be a circus next season.
5. The media always blames Lebron's teammates.
6. His money will go further in Dallas.
9:20 that was Hield not Derozan. It was LeBron that wanted DeRozan and Rob that didn’t
As a Boston Celtics fan I appreciate Klay for not going the "Ray Allen route" in his decision
What??? You can blame Danny don’t know what he’s doing for that. But I love Ray as a heat
Not allowing Hurley to pick his own staff is shameful, as if the Lakers know how to coach and develop players lmao
No one presents a take which is 100% accepted by their listeners. With that being said, Doug provides excellent insights which requires listeners to access each topic in a biased way.
The Warriors could see the hand writing on the wall with Klay.
About the only national basketball media guy being honest about the James gang shenanigans.
I had the same observation....and actually wasnt surprised being a warrior fan Dallas just lost in the Finals and Lakers were beat in the first round in the playoffs 🏀
Proof that no one in their right mind will play with lefraud.
Why would he want to play for the Lakers who have no chance to compete for a championship . He went to a team that has a chance to win
Like he’s gonna play in summer league
This is the guy who averaged 4 PPG on a bad USC team, and then said he wasn’t going to take a two way contract
🔥
D wade son I believe he plays over sea’s
No klay = no slash bros, now it's just bro.
dallas needed a shooter but they need defense more now you have 3 guys who cant defend on the perimeter in klay kyrie and luka good luck with that jason kidd
What if GSW got rid of Draymond green instead? What possibilities would open up? How big of a liability is he with his wild, unnecessary antics?
mavs - now they have 3 players that can't defend or rebound - way to go!!!
Pj not great at either thing and isn't a center or a wing either...mavs gonna get roasted by quick score first guys like shai ant booker mitchell brunson morant lillard haliburton murray
@@razkable Mavs beat OKC in playoffs.
Can’t rebound? Luka averaged 9.2 rpg as a guard! That’s better than a lot of PFs and Cs.
@@razkablepj had a good 3 quarters over a 10 game span and people act like he's Steph
Bronnt took his spot😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
If the La, 4x80m, & warriors, 2x48m, contracts R real U know it wasn't about money. Klay must have been miserable.
He loves bringing up d Wade and g league
I am sure Klay wants to keep his name as far away from a team that is a playground for LeBron's ego (his buddy as the new head coach, his son drafted for whatever reason, etc.)
I would have chosen the same path.
This is simply a matter of mathematics and economics. Klay would rather get paid and possibly win a title than not get paid nearly as much and possibly win a title.
Not really. Nobody has ever been eager to sign a big contract to play with Bron.
@@reubengray6026 win a title, hehehe
@stonedecatur6602 skipped right over, possibly, huh? Not surprised. Reading is fundamental.
@@remnant8898 the Lakers can't offer a third player a big contract with Lebron and AD already making the max. Almost no teams have 3 big contract players.
@reubengray6026 I'll reiterate that NOBODY has ever been eager to sign a big contract to play with Bron. With our without the Lakers, and even if they had the cap space.
First ballot hall of famer? I don't know about that......
Easily first ballot hall of famer. Are you slow?
He's got 4 titles, 5-time all-star, and multiple all-NBA.
Not to mention, whole bunch of shooting records.
Yes klay is first ballot hall of fame
I bet DH said no to drafting Bronny and the Lakers passed on him.
It’s beautiful. Let’s face it, Klay Thompson isn’t the player that he once was. He might show some flashes but he’s pretty much a shell of his former self. So, let’s say he did sign with the Lakers and ends up getting benched again. Well there’s another LeBron scapegoat. He could just passively aggressively call him out over X and Klay wouldn’t deserve that kind of treatment. Especially after the career he has had. I’m glad he signed with Dallas. He would have a much better chance getting his 5th ring there over than that clown show in LA.
actually doug has it wrong. the Lakers rejected Klay. they didnt want to sign him and have it be perceived as a nepotism signing. and the lakers are not about nepotism.
Dude- as Warrior fans, we are not fans of LeFraud. What makes you think playing with the narcissist is attractive? As KD said one time "Lebron creates toxic environments". Plus playing for a decent accomplished guy like J Kidd looks more attractive than the clown show in LA. Besides many sons don't want to follow in their Dad's footsteps necessarily. Klay is resentful about a lot of things. I think he needs to carve his own path after the magical dynastic run the Dubs had winning 4 hard fought rings.
Klay to The Lakers makes no reality sense at all. As long as AD would rather shoot threes than play post, Lebron “is an offense” James….. where does Klay fit other than on IG?
Golden State shunning Klay was FAR MORE Damning. Dude is literally 34 years OLD and only getting Older. If your Parent don't even really want you, Why should anyone else.
this is what i dont understand the media nobody wants to ay with bron and media bron cant be ahead of mj he teamed up with other players
Klay does Not want to be under the LA microscope
Klay not gonna save him like ray allen
Klay didn't want to play for the Los Angeles LeBron's. What a shitshow it's going to be in LA this year. I love it, because I don't like the Lakers and especially their fans.
Didn't wanna b apart of that circus
I don't know what Lebron has on people but no way do I want a 40 year old player on my squad as the A1 player.😢😢😢😢😢
There's a "thing" among NBA players who do not want to play with LeBron James.
If Lebron is not taking a cut why should anyone else
Scottie Pippen's son is better than Bronny, but didn't make the Lakers roster. Pippen even called LeBron the GOAT to help his son get on the team.
Lakers are too much of a circus until the Lakers take back control of the team
Stop it , Lakers could only offer a mid-level .
Mavs have Kyrie, size, and a young Superstar. They are good. Play for Kidd or JJ lol.😊
More low quality commentary from this guy……Surprise Us One Day Dougie!
The Warriors wouldn’t sign and trade w/ Lakers saved yall 11min
This is klay last check and California taxes would have fd up his bag..Texas doesn’t have state taxes it’s an easy choice
He will be the fourth option after lebron, davis, and bronny....
Klay chose to play and get paid more. Not anything not than that
Plain & Simple... Dallas = Less LeJames Drama an he won't be Jr's backUp... 😂
It’s because of LBJ. He doesn’t want to play with him after competing with him for a long time…what’s worse is that the Lakers drafted his kid who is a less than mediocre basketball player
Doug actually Lebron wanted Derozen not Westbrook smh.
No. He wanted Westbrook. He needed that scapegoat for the entire year.
@@robertw174 And it worked perfectly.
@@greggibson33 yep. LeBron tells the media who to zero in on and they do it.
@@robertw174 ok buddy. Lebron tells the media who to blame and they zero in on them 😭😭😭😭 yall are hilarious man I’ve never seen somebody in folks head like Lebron. 🤣🤣🤣
@@Mar-t6n pretending LeBron and Nike dont control most of the sports media is laughable. We all know it pal
Even more damning is the fact that the Warriors treated Klay like trash and refused to keep him. Curry kept his mouth shut until ve knew that Klay was gone. How DAMNING is that?? Doesn't have nothing to do with LeBron. You people get diarrhea and somehow LeBron caused you to be glued to your toilet.
LAKERS have NEVER got any top tier free agents except Shaq. All other top players have been traded for, what r we really talking about. & it’s more to do w lebron than the Lakers
I know the river going flood when Lebron retires with FA
Imagine playing for Lebron puppet JJ Reddick and to eventually sit behind Bronny on the depth chart, lol. Add in passive aggressive Lebron talk behind your back, Klay would be crazy to sign up for that.
This is crazy. KLAY left curry and the warriors and no talk about that but instead it’s KLAY didn’t go with bron. They didn’t even have the fucken money that’s said was offered. They would have to do trades which nobody wants Dlo. If klay was with bron and then left like he left curry the media would be going wild including Doug goatshit but since it’s curry well who cares right?
Lakers blamed Westbrook, AD and Klay will get the heat if he goes to the Lakers
dont want to be Le Scapegoated
Would you want to go to the crazy Lakers with an inexperienced, attitude-challenged coach and have to play around Lebron's son?
As a former Laker fan I applaud Klay’s decision. Who in their right mind would want to go the the modern day Lakers? Did anyone notice how fake their war room was on draft night? Acting like thy stole their 2nd round pick when in fact nobody else was going to draft that player. They have turned the Lakers into a sideshow and it proves they don’t care about winning, they care about being a circus sideshow. The rest of the league has to be laughing their butts off!
What made you become a "former lakers" fan?
@@RKO859 the same reason as most of the Laker defectors. LeDiva!
I don't blame the GSW or Klay. Klay has played like ass for the past two seasons.
Who in their right mind would want to go to the disaster known as the Lakers?
Certainly scraping the bottom of the recycling bin for topics eh Dougie?
All the vets saw what the Lakers did to Westbrook… Nobody wants their legacy ruined while being LeBron’s scapegoat.
Y'all just love to make up y'all own narratives 😂😂.
Yup. Say it again...or rather type it again.
And Omg.....Whining about the pretty boy Warriors and Klay era collapse is keeping yall big as hell....WE DONE WITH THE BAY AREA! Mavs Beantown Bombers AGAIN in finals! heard it here FIRST! i predicted that matchup around Turkey day last year...WAY before trade deadline moves by the great Nico Harrison
Doug running from Stephen A
No to a circus show.😡
Klay & P.G are just looking for $$$ at the end of their careers.
Glad Klay is leaving LaLa Land from all the California teams and will be with Kidd and Co.
DAL is not winning a ring with or without Klay.
That’s your opinion!!! Lakers not winning anything either.
@gwenmarie7311
LA is my lifelong team and you're absolutely right. Now back to DAL, acquiring Klay doesn't address your top needs. If MIN coaching staff learn anything from this past postseason, then the 💍 is their's to lose.
The lakers are a Clown show
Why would anyone want to go into that?
Plenty wrong with signing bronny
Please. Who wouldn't want to play with their son. Y'all some hypocrites.
No one cares about any example the truth is there been nothing like this before
The media say the dumbest things so because lakers didn’t get him the sky is falling but if he did sign with Lakers lebron always need help pick a side, there are people that see the stupidness you people are spreading to get likes
Know one wants to play with LECHOKE
AD???
CRY LAKERS CRY!☘
Nobody wants to go to a team that is controlled by a player. Specially a lebron type of player that plays the blame game
Doug hating again... Stupid take. Listen to the odd couple you will find out why he chose dallas
Klay doesn’t want to be known as a LeFlop brown noser!!! 🤣🤣🤣
