Klay Thompson Ripple Effect

[warcore]

Since KD had his own thread, figured we should have one for Klay, too, since apparently he tore his ACL.

That dude sunk those free throws on a torn ACL. 

So how does this further shake up this years free agency? What was looking like such a strong free agent class, has changed drastically within the time of this series. Doesn't seem like it affects the Hawks, since it's apparent we're still taking bad contracts for assets, other than reassurance that this is not the time to splash on free agents.

It changes nothing, GS will still max him out but they not making the playoffs next year

We have Huerter at shooting guard. Klay is a Warrior for his career.

All the 2nd and 3rd tier free agents are smiling.   Shiiiiiii, Al might even opt out so he can take advantage of all the available money...

 

Again.

Still getting the max.

Has there ever been a case where two major FAs from the same team have such significant injuries in the finals.  

WOW!!!

Here's the ripple effect of both injuries - the West is now wide open. Will another West team jump into the AD fray and trying to make a 1 year run with AD ala Kawhi?

Klay is going to stay with Golden State.  He either gets a max deal now or signs something short like a 2 and 1 option or a 1 and 1 option.  Continues to be awesome and gets a super max deal after.
