If they play early in the year, chances are slim. Klay is a notoriously slow starter and I kinda can’t wait to see Mavs fans freaking out about it only for him to finish the season at 39-41% from deep like always. You could set your clock to that, it was such a regular occurrence in r/Warriors
He’s going to have to get around like [Bojack Horseman](https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/bojackhorseman/images/b/ba/Boat2.PNG/revision/latest?cb=20190803023852)
You joke but they almost did this to the Trinity River in the early 20th century. Not for the AAC obviously, but look up the 99% Invisible podcast titled “Port of Dallas”. Super interesting.
Gotta schedule the helicopter ride to and from his aquatic home at the luxurious Galveston Wharf and Pier. If Jayson Tatum asks if you want to take it for a spin while he's in town, DON'T SAY YES
This was my thought in most apt comparisons. I thought of the Spurs Big 3, Manu would be the one to leave if any but that all 3 would retire career long Spurs. Tony left. With Warriors thought all of their Big 3 would retire career long Warriors but Draymond would be the one who left if any of them did and turns out to be Klay. Wild ride
Dray has the most volatile personality of the Big 3 and after he switched to Klutch representation and was more public about his relationship with James close to his contract end date, him leaving seemed more real. Then he punched his way out of the Poole party. Never is hard for me to believe, especially if his reported podcast comments are true but ultimately I think your sentiment will be correct.
Was perfect Klay at his best. Unassuming, sincere, impactful. Im proud to say i was a fan of this team when they were coming up and im happy i got to watch them achieve greatness.
As a LeBron Stan, the "I guess his feelings were hurt, it's a man's game" comments after going up 3-1 in the 2016 finals, is some of the best sports schadenfreude ever.
But I respect his game and place in nba history.
If the Warriors are still terrible and he falls to like the 15th best player in the league I could see him hanging it up. I don’t think he’d be particularly interested in playing out years where they win 29 games where he has to drop 30-35+ in every win, and i honestly doubt he’d go to another team at this point
Well, unfortunately, none of that is true. I'm clairvoyant. Steph soon comes to Detroit and a lot of the things you probably thought might come to pass are actually totally wrong. About more than just basketball, frankly. Hell, about more than just Earth. Hell, about more than just
Best (impossible) timeline is if Steph and Dray win another one, then klay and the mav’s win another one. Then klay returns back to the bay and they get one final one
dudes 34 and signed till he's 37, in all honesty this is his last contract so either the Warriors trade for him or he signs a 10 day to retire a Warrior
May cause loss of mobility, sub-40% 3-pt shooting, injury, catastrophic tendon rupture, mid-range shooting, or death. Do not take Klemar Thorozan if you are allergic to it or any of its ingredients. Talk to your GM to see if Klemar Thorozan is right for you.
Captain Klay basically shared my comment sentiment from years ago on the original post where he was on a boat:
Call me Swishmael. Some years ago—never mind how long precisely—having little or no money in my purse, and nothing particular to interest me on shore, I thought I would sail about a little and see the watery part of the key. It is a way I have of driving off the screen, and regulating the fans elation. Whenever I find myself growing grim about Seattle not having a team, whenever I miss the SuperSonics, whenever I have a damp, drizzly December first quarter from 3; whenever I find myself involuntarily pausing before entering one of my dozen houses, and bringing up the rear of every championship parade I’m in; and especially whenever my hype reels show such an upper class of me, that it requires a strong moral principle to prevent me from deliberately stepping into the street, and methodically knocking people's hats off - then, I account it high time to get to sea as soon as I can. This is my substitute for sneakers and ball. With a philosophical flourish, I push away from “Captain Rehab” and I step aboard the only ship that mattered. The Champion Ship.
Dude is going in the rafters and will probably be one of 3 statues outside that place when all is said and done. No doubt he signs a one day to end his career there.
We love you too Klay. My friends were your next door neighbors for your first home and you were always the coolest, plus we loved seeing you occasionally at The Egg Shop, eating with us ordinary Oaklanders.
You are tops in my book, and I’ve been a dubs fan since Barry, Thurmond and We Believe. Don’t sell the boat. Keep it and visit often.

Sad as it sounds,something had to give.I compare it to mercy killing cos Klay as much as we all love him is no longer a second option offensively for a team with high standards like the warriors.It was painful to see him struggle so it could be good to have him take a lesser role elsewhere.business decisions are made everyday and in this case he got the perfect destination because the mavs love unorthodox individuals.
When Dallas plays the Warriors in GS, Klay should taunt Steve Kerr with the 4 rings sign and then Kerr should reciprocate the 4 rings on one hand while waving his fingers and then slowly bring up his other hand with 5 full fingers extended to indicate 9 and then do a Zoomer tiktok fortnite dance and then Robert Horry appears and does 7 fingers while mirroring Kerr's dance and then Dion Waiters appears and wags his finger doing the Stanky Leg
The Buddy thing didn't work out in Philadelphia. It might work in GS because all they do is get guys open for threes. But this could go wrong, I can't figure the guy out.
I just want Klay to do the 4 rings taunt in his first game back at the Chase Center
Taunting buddy hield or one of the new guys with zero rings
Steal Steph’s mouth guard, shove Draymond, 4 rings taunt Kerr.
Ok taunting Kerr would be hilarious because Kerr has 9 rings lol
Kerr would holding up 9 fingers in response would be hilarious-er
Kerr pointing to his middle finger 'the last ring is for you, klay'
What did they measure when Phil got #11?
Jeanie buss knows
Original Hawk Tuah
It’d be top tier banter though
I so badly want his son to convince him to do this. Nick Kerr, please!
Bronze medal tantrum meme IRL
Taunting Steph or one of the other guys with four rings
He should just point at all the banners he helped hang in there, LMAO.
Id be very surprised if Mavs @ Warriors was not an NBA opening night game.
Oh yeah, that’d be perfect.
If not then for sure Christmas or MLK day.
No Mavs Suns needs to be Christmas
Ofc, dad always shows up for Christmas
Fuck yes lmao
He’s gonna get the biggest standing ovation on his first game back.
On Kuminga or someone, would be hilarious
on dray. dray then gets mad and kicks him in the nuts.
Real ones know that Dray's going to start shit with Klay just so he can bust out the 4 rings taunt at Klay before Klay can throw it at the Warriors.
They bust it out at the same time
Can you imagine he wins his 5th with the Mavs next season and come back to Chase with the new 5 rings taunt?
He torching the Warriors on their first game for sure then he gonna throw the 4 finga banga on Buddy Hield or Lauri if warriors acquire him
he’s either torching them or going 3/19
Or 0/11
What makes it sweeter is, he's gonna have a week of lethargic shooting before they match up
If they play early in the year, chances are slim. Klay is a notoriously slow starter and I kinda can’t wait to see Mavs fans freaking out about it only for him to finish the season at 39-41% from deep like always. You could set your clock to that, it was such a regular occurrence in r/Warriors
he deserves a statue of that moment
I just had a mental image of it and... Lmfao 🤣
Taunt for you, symbol of bond for us! Try again.
I’d pay to watch this
Waiting for that five rings taunt after Dallas wins in the Finals
how will he commute by boat in Dallas
Have someone tow his boat with him on it
[Pull a Troy Barnes](https://www.reddit.com/media?url=https%3A%2F%2Fi.redd.it%2Fxj4kpbxdt3g31.jpg)
You mean Butts Carlton?
It was not the smartest idea to start a boat journey from landlocked Colorado.
He’s going to have to get around like [Bojack Horseman](https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/bojackhorseman/images/b/ba/Boat2.PNG/revision/latest?cb=20190803023852)
Just have the same guy that [pulls](https://youtu.be/M0BqdfNO6DA?si=uaMgeGPJ5_31QDvg) it for Shaq in the morning
[удалено]
Probably too big like Jokic otherwise it would be a very Klay move
Impel the city to deluge the Trinity River floodplain so he can cruise right up to the AAC.
You joke but they almost did this to the Trinity River in the early 20th century. Not for the AAC obviously, but look up the 99% Invisible podcast titled “Port of Dallas”. Super interesting.
Amphibious boat car thing from lake Lewisville to the arena? Idk lol.
he's a helicopter guy, now
really though I imagine he'll keep his current place and would be back any time outside of the season
As Texas braces for a hurricane. F’n A man
Gotta schedule the helicopter ride to and from his aquatic home at the luxurious Galveston Wharf and Pier. If Jayson Tatum asks if you want to take it for a spin while he's in town, DON'T SAY YES
I am sad
Tony Parker in a Hornets jersey was the weirdest thing. Klay in a Mavs jersey will be pretty damn weird too though
This was my thought in most apt comparisons. I thought of the Spurs Big 3, Manu would be the one to leave if any but that all 3 would retire career long Spurs. Tony left. With Warriors thought all of their Big 3 would retire career long Warriors but Draymond would be the one who left if any of them did and turns out to be Klay. Wild ride
Dray would never leave, he's more valuable to the Warriors than any other team. They have a vested interest in keeping him.
Dray has the most volatile personality of the Big 3 and after he switched to Klutch representation and was more public about his relationship with James close to his contract end date, him leaving seemed more real. Then he punched his way out of the Poole party. Never is hard for me to believe, especially if his reported podcast comments are true but ultimately I think your sentiment will be correct.
If that's weird, [I don't know what you would think this is](https://youtu.be/mGJJ6ixWWvs?si=Ow4oz8WVDLt4iuwj)
This is a pretty good edit. They made it look so real.
Raptors Hakeem vs Magic Ewing
Peja in a Mavs jersey was weird too but it worked out...
Someone make a Klay Thompson highlight reel with Tony Bennett, *I left my heart in San Francisco* as the track
Don’t be sad, be happy it even happened. What a great line
Was perfect Klay at his best. Unassuming, sincere, impactful. Im proud to say i was a fan of this team when they were coming up and im happy i got to watch them achieve greatness.
I loved that the post was clearly authored by Klay. Not some publicist produced watered down ‘thank you to the fans’
As a LeBron Stan, the "I guess his feelings were hurt, it's a man's game" comments after going up 3-1 in the 2016 finals, is some of the best sports schadenfreude ever. But I respect his game and place in nba history.
I am very very very sad
He'll retire as a Warrior I'm sure. But he needed a fresh start. I'm excited to see him in Dallas with Luka and Kyrie
how could you possibly be sure of that?
Klay gon be on a minimum his last season and retire there.
I honestly think he only will if Steph is still around and if the Dubs are trash and Dallas is competing I could see a world where Steph retires first
I don't see Steph going out until his body forces him to, and I think his body will last longer than Klay's
If the Warriors are still terrible and he falls to like the 15th best player in the league I could see him hanging it up. I don’t think he’d be particularly interested in playing out years where they win 29 games where he has to drop 30-35+ in every win, and i honestly doubt he’d go to another team at this point
Well, unfortunately, none of that is true. I'm clairvoyant. Steph soon comes to Detroit and a lot of the things you probably thought might come to pass are actually totally wrong. About more than just basketball, frankly. Hell, about more than just Earth. Hell, about more than just
I am also sad. We will be sad together.
>> the best part was not the rings though, it’s was the friendship >> foureverchamps
Foureverchamps is a hard af phrase
What if, crazy idea, he used the number 4 instead of the word "four"?
Can you write it out? I want to see it.

I love Klay 5ever!
is it?
Yes. I already said so
Oh, ok
The real lesson was the friends we made
You know he wrote this himself because it’s badly written lol. It’s actually sweet
yeah, also these are the most generic bye sentences (like middle school yearbooks) but coming from klay it feels very sincere
Middle school level writing
Isn't that pretty much how we all communicate tho lol It's the simplest for everyone to understand
and yet your comment is a sentence fragment lacking standard punctuation. maybe there is more to language than pedantry?
There’s great irony in you writing that compound adjective incorrectly. I think they teach that in middle school.
I'll miss him. Also "until we meet again" hopefully means he'll be back to the Dubs one day. Until then I hope he prospers in Dallas 🫡
What if he ends up with more rings than Steph? That would be kinda awkward. 🤔
Best (impossible) timeline is if Steph and Dray win another one, then klay and the mav’s win another one. Then klay returns back to the bay and they get one final one
Yeah that’s not happening lol. I wanna see Klay go on a heater and eliminate y’all. 😈
Decent chance of them meeting in the first round
kinda hard to imagine if boston were still the favorites to win and kyrie still has lucky's curse
Warriors finally have a bunch of mid-sized contracts so they can always try to trade for Klay in the future. Lol
dudes 34 and signed till he's 37, in all honesty this is his last contract so either the Warriors trade for him or he signs a 10 day to retire a Warrior
I know he is going to miss those boat rides
Because of the implication...
Denis that you??
Well you certainly won’t be in any danger.
Thanks klay. If you combine him with Demar you get Klemar Thorozan
Sounds like a prescription drug.
I think I take that for anxiety
May cause loss of mobility, sub-40% 3-pt shooting, injury, catastrophic tendon rupture, mid-range shooting, or death. Do not take Klemar Thorozan if you are allergic to it or any of its ingredients. Talk to your GM to see if Klemar Thorozan is right for you.
Or a Norse Viking chieftain
or a rider of rohan.
Sounds like a new type of bug found in the forests of Equitorial Guinea
Sounds like a Klingon or something.
If you or a loved one have tried Klemar Thorozan you’re eligible for financial compensation
You've seen Boat Captain Klay now get ready for Kowboy Klay.

We're going to start getting IG lives of him in a cowboy hat playing harmonica by a campfire
Lonesome dub
we’ll miss you klay 🫡
how did you get this username??
Because that’s Moses Moody? How else is Moses Moody suppose to get the username mosesmoody? By being Moses Moody that’s how.
Step 1: get signed by the warriors Step 2: get flown into sfo Step 3: show ID at Reddit HQ to grab your username Step 4: play basketball
I still hope he goes back and retires a Warrior
Dude is going in the rafters and will probably be one of 3 statues outside that place when all is said and done. No doubt he signs a one day to end his career there.
Isn’t that obvious?
Four rings is more than enough for me. Enjoy Dallas for a few Klay, I’ll be here waiting for your return with open arms.
Fuuuuuck i'm depressed plz come back and retire in a warriors jersey one day
I was not ready to cry today.
When he put #oaklandforever… Not even crazy about basketball but that had me proud
In the words of my 3 year old, “No, I don’t like it”.
We will take care of him Warriors bros
Thanks bb. Don't freak out when he has an insanely slow start to the season. That's just how it goes with him lol
Sorry, Mavs fans believe that shots off Luka passes must go in at 100% rate
The championship wasn't the rings and the trophies. It was the friends we made along the way. 🥲
“SPLASHBROS4LIFE” 🥹😭
Champion Captain Klay on Market!
Build the statue already 😭
Right in the fucking feels. I hope Klay will ride his boat in the Bay again
I’m not crying you’re crying
Save the tribute video for game 1 of the WCF Finals
We love you too Klay. My friends were your next door neighbors for your first home and you were always the coolest, plus we loved seeing you occasionally at The Egg Shop, eating with us ordinary Oaklanders. You are tops in my book, and I’ve been a dubs fan since Barry, Thurmond and We Believe. Don’t sell the boat. Keep it and visit often.
well he still calls the Warriors a world class organization despite what everyone been saying
I don’t think any of the reporting what make you think Klay thought otherwise. It was just a dispute in contract negotiations.
A yacht in the Gulf Coast just doesn't hit the same as in the Bay, I can promise you that Klay
He'd be better off flying to his beach house in So Cal than going to the gulf coast. Probably takes less time.

Thanks, I think. As long as they're all in the WCF I'm happy
Fuck that and fuck Dallas -Mychal
Thankful, but I am a Warriors fan first, we keep on keeping on.
Notice one prominent person with a son named Nick is not in any pictures....

U bum
I hope Klay trades in his boat and gets himself a horse. Itching to see Captain Klay transform into Cowboy Klay.
Adorable.
Cowboy Klay incoming
Sad days
Well said.
The Buddy thing didn't work out in Philadelphia. It might work in GS because all they do is get guys open for threes. But this could go wrong, I can't figure the guy out.
Splash bros might’ve been the most entertaining thing in the NBA since Vinsanity and Linsanity
Two years in Dallas then back in the bay to finish his career. Enjoy the time in Dallas see ya in a couple of years.

"Nothing like it man, nothing like it"
This is a sad day but Dallas is actually pretty bike commute friendly and the Katy rail trail has access points right new the Mavs arena.
First sentence got me scared
Oh captain, my captain! I’m most sad that Klay will be stuck so far from sea 🌊
Buddy Hield and Steph about to tear up the league!:)
what is klay’s HOF probability?
Given how low the bar is for NBA HoF, virtually guaranteed.
He called our man a bum.
💛💙💛💙💛 True professional
I hope warriors fans will do the right thing and boo him every time he touches the ball when next he returned.
“End of an era” is kind of a cliche now but this really is the definition of it.
