The NBA world is in SHOCK after Golden State reportedly shut down Klay Thompson’s modest 2-year, $40M extension request — while Jimmy Butler casually secures a jaw-dropping 2-year, $121M deal! 😱
We’re talking about Klay Thompson — a four-time NBA Champion, Splash Brother, and a pillar of the Warriors dynasty — being told he’s “not worth it.” Meanwhile, Butler, who hasn’t won a ring and had to be traded into relevance, gets a red carpet and $60M a year like it’s nothing. 🤯
Fans are calling it “the ultimate betrayal” and “a slap in the face to loyalty.”
Is this how legends get treated now?
🏀 One brought banners to the Bay. The other brought drama.
💸 But only one got the bag.
NBA Twitter is on fire, and this disrespect won’t be forgotten.
