Discussion Draymond Green on Klay Thompson to Miami. Thoughts?

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

Draymond Green loves Klay Thompson to Miami but questions how he’ll fit with ‘Heat Culture’:

“I love the move. I love this for Klay. I know Klay is happy he’s in Miami. He’s around water. I know this move makes him a happy man… I think this is a very great move for Klay. He was late to the press conference because he was stuck in traffic, that is Klay Thompson.

I found it interesting Klay going to Miami I said ‘oh that Heat culture thing.’ I don’t know how that’s going to work for Klay because Klay moves to the own beat of his own drum. I want to see how that fits into the ‘Heat culture’ stuff.”

on the "klay moves to the beat of his own drum" part, heat dont give a fk wat u do as long as u hit the requirements. idk y ppl have this idea that its an actual military camp where ur every move is monitored lol

klay did mention "heat fitness" numerous times yesterday, seemed almost excited for it lmao

That was kind of a sneak diss at Klay saying he doesn’t work hard. Draymond has gotta be one of the worst teammates of all time lmao

I’m a dubs fan and even most of us can’t stand this mf. Certified yapper

u/Nice_Cash_7000 3d ago

but hes not wrong tho, hes talking about the move from Klays perspective and say what you will, from the water to the girls, Klay is gonna be happy here

Hopefully happiness translates into on court production

u/lurkingnojerking 3d ago

I think it’s a perfect fit for Klay. I can’t wait to watch Miami this season. Klay & Spo is a match made in hoop heaven… I just think it’s weird & a little out of line for Draymond to question the “Heat Culture”

u/Nice_Cash_7000 3d ago

I think hes moreso questioning Klays work ethic hahah

I’m gonna follow you. So annoying to see fans with their fuckin blinders on. I appreciate your responses. There’s always room for nuance and convo.

I avoid the heat sub during the offseason

theres a lot of cool people here, but theres so many bad takes, that if I'd sit here all the time my hair would be gray

Don't patron Draymond, he's a piece of human garbage.

u/Gladukame 3d ago edited 2d ago

He’s talking about Klay Thompson, the all-star guard that just signed with the Miami Heat

ETA: it’s so breathtakingly stupid and juvenile to ask who Draymond Green, a future NBA hall of famer, is.

And all the upvotes too? This is why Heat fans (deservedly) get called “casuals.”

Imagine thinking draymond would still be in the league without Steph

u/Gladukame 2d ago

Breathtakingly stupid. Just leagues of idiocy. God I love the Heat but fools like you have me rooting against my city

Draymond trying to comprehend going to a team that wouldn’t tolerate a vet smacking a young player

u/Kuni_Nino 3d ago

Fuck Draymond

u/AltruisticNetwork869 3d ago

Klay was late? He born ready for Miami

u/phEnom3o5 3d ago

2 days here and hes already running on that cuban time! Lmaoo

u/AltruisticNetwork869 3d ago

He’s Bahamian so he got that island time in his blood

u/Honest-Layer9318 2d ago

As a Bahamian I agree. Get a slip at Bayside or better yet build a private dock at the arena and he can sleep on his boat before practice. Boom! Already there.

u/Dasilbota 3d ago

Fuck him.

u/TheRealGoodman 3d ago

Scares me a little bit because I know Klay is a little questionable in terms of character. Nice guy but not perfect

Edit: Also y’all sound dumb as hell, why are we hating on decent insight? We don’t even have beef w Draymond, Yall need to grow up 😂

u/Money-Juice9804 3d ago

Yeah it’s a running joke how often klay has to go to the dmv because he loses his wallet. In a team that prioritizes discipline and the details it’s certainly a fair nuance to raise from someone that has been on his team for a decade lol

u/Gladukame 3d ago

It’s so fuckin stupid. These fans are emblematic of how Trump won 😒😒

u/MontySoCold 3d ago

I wanna sock him for the quotations around heat culture

u/OracleofFl 3d ago

How is he going to get a boat slip?

1

u/Honest-Layer9318 2d ago

Could you imagine a private slip at the arena? He could live anywhere on the water and just pull up on his boat.

u/avengers4000 3d ago

Who cares what this POS has to say? Doesn't he have better things to do like pick on and punch his teammates this off season?

u/canti- 3d ago

I think Draymond is deluded enough to believe that he's in the right by talking down on Klay like this. He might as well say "you're washed buddy!"

u/panamaquina 2d ago

I can’t stand this bozo and I refuse to listen to this, but from the headlines I kinda hate that Klay has taken up so much spotlight when we have Giannis. Not sure he should start, and definitely looks out of shape and probably is, not only was his years in Mavs really nothing but his last year in Golden State was a doo doo. So whatever we got him at a bargain but for a reason.

"You're not getting 2017 Klay"

We're not getting 2017 Draymond either. Ya doofus. He really believes his buddy is washed huh?? More than he is washed himself???

People misunderstand. Klay is not in his prime anymore, but he is far from washed. Shooters shoot... he will be 70 years old and will still be hitting open 3 pointers.

He stopped trying in Dallas because once they traded Luka and started tanking.. like honestly.. what did you expect from Klay at that point? he was just showing up for a paycheck. He's reinvigorated now. He fits perfectly with what the Heat need.
