His early development failed him (?)

He's feast or famine offensively and isn't a reliable defender anymore. He never really rebounded or made plays for others in the traditional sense.

He hasn’t been athletic at all for 6 years. I’m not sure how that’s an argument against him. You’d have a great point if his percentage dropped 10 pts or he failed to get the same number of attempts. Dude has never created his shot off the dribble

If you’re not contending, then there’s no reason to put up with Draymond’s antics.

I wouldn't put him above Magic, but I'd rather have him on the current Team USA roster over Lebron.

In a time when ratings were down, Blake Griffin helped save the league. He was must-see TV

Yeah but it turns out there’s still roles for guys like that. Good coaches get shooters like him into feast mode by putting them in situations to succeed. The Warriors are so messed up I think you’d need another situation to judge and say he has no place on an NBA team anymore.

2 sides of the ball
If you put up bricks and can’t defend how do you stay on the floor?
Klay like Sixers Danny Green this point in his career.
If he signs for a contender on the low he can probably get another ring, but him leading a team with Steve and Dray is out of the question. Golden State would probably have to sign Lebron or something.

We’re pretending there aren’t worse 3 pt shooters making more money and playing equally bad defense? Should Trae Young head to China cause he’s cooked too or does he get a pass for worse shooting cause of the APG?
Point stands, a guy who shot 39% and hit 270 3’s isn’t “cooked” even if his career is winding down.

0 for 10 for 32 minutes in a Do or Die game. can't seem to remember which All-Star player had that stat other than Klay.

When there is nothing he currently does on a basketball court better than Lebron besides shoot Free throws? I guess lol

klay was just too inconsistent this year. some nights his shot looks like it never left, and other nights he was just bricking it up.

Of course it was bad
my point is making crazy *** declarations about a guy’s career being over after hitting 270 3’s this year on 39% is insane. It’s as bad as the homerism of warriors fans still deluded thinking they were winning it all this year.What I saw in that game last night was the pressure cooker on the entire team, knowing they didn’t have it and trying too hard with that in the back of their minds.
Toxic work environments, especially public facing, do have an impact on everyone involved. And he shouldn’t be on a team constructed so poorly, but his career ain’t over.

Plus he’s 25, if you pair him with someone like Wemby you can minimize his weaknesses.

I dunno. in fairness, he's still decent but decent doesn't cut it especially how much he is getting paid. I guess the word we are looking for that he ain't All-Star caliber anymore but a decent bench player or 6th man?Of course it was bad

Just like if you give Klay a team with better slash and drive guys he’d probably have some of his weaknesses minimized.

And I’m not saying he’s top ____, but when Grayson Allen gets $70M with mediocre d and great 3pt shooting the idea Klay’s career is over is ridiculous. There’s plenty of places he could be used and his weaknesses minimized. And Jesus Christ, that video breakdown of the Warriors last night made it clear as day there’s a problem with coaching there.

jokes aside, I wouldn't rely on Lebron's 3 point shooting as much as how Steph does it game after game regardless what the stats show.
Nope...just free throws. If you value free throws that much sure.

Yeah he’s clearly a role player whether it’s starting or coming off the bench. When has this not happened to guys at 35 who were never the #1 option?
Big difference between transitioning to a role player and no longer having enough value to play in the NBA
