2022 NBA Offseason Thread: Preseason kicks off; Things are fine in Los Angeles, Draymond beats the charges

Don't sleep on the Ray led Sonics in 2005.

2015-2016 Klay Thompson ???

Hard for me to even compare Klay to Ray with the spacing that Klay has benefited from playing next to Steph all this time.

 

[Based Jesus]

This is like the stupid Dray vs Blake debates
Remove Steph from the equation and his career looks very different
He can't reliably create offense for himself or others on that level

 

[RustyShackleford]

You know VH1 had to chop and screw this footage because mans was probably rapping every n-word on the album, without hesitation

 

[D StaXX]

In a vacuum, I'm taking Ray.
I think Klay is the 2nd best shooter ever, but offensively Ray did everything else better.
We saw Ray drive the bus & Klay is way too stiff to for me.
I can't see him having the same success without Steph.

I enjoyed watching Cassell and Cat Mobley team up their first year with the Clippers. But age and injuries hurt them after that.

I enjoyed his FSU days with the Heisman Winner

Compare Rays Allen’s INDIVIDUAL accolades to Klay’s.

Rings are a team accomplishment

Still remember people in here saying Klay is better than Luka

 

[RustyShackleford]

Ray over Klay for me and it isn't even a hard decision

Again. Every SG in the early 2000s ran off pin downs and floppy action. Ray included. We saw the pistons run floppy to death with rip Hamilton and he won (on a great team.) Klay ain’t Duncan Robinson now. Obviously playing next to the goat helps.

Imagine Klay running off screens for 39 mpg

Everything is a team accomplishment. It’s harder to make the all star team if your team sucks. It’s hard to make all nba if your team sucks. Pick an accolade

I thought it was easier to put up big numbers on a bad team?

‘Shard that season was crazy. Luke Ridnour was there too right?

 

[addict4sneakers]

If your argument is Klay was a #2 his whole career that’s fair. But ray does what better? Everything is even stats wise. He can dribble better? He’s a better athlete? This means what in a head to head comparison?

Production.

More shots sure but more defensive focus. It’s not as simple as “im about to get mines cause my team isn’t good”

Yep, that was a perfect storm of a season. Nate McMillian knew it and bailed to Portland that off-season.

Big numbers alone do not necessarily equate to all-star appearances and All-NBA selections, though. Players with inferior numbers are routinely selected over their peers due to their team’s place in the standing.

Please do not do this on Friday.

I remember when the talk here was beal > klay

Damb

 

[B Sox]

Ray was “bus driver” for his whole career up until he was the age that Klay is about to be at this upcoming season.

Their roles to that age are ENTIRELY different.

 

[QU!K]

Ray got like 1000 3s on Klay
He has twice as many all-star selections
Ray been all-nba 2nd team

It’s not even close

Mind as well say Robert Horry > Klay if we’re going by rings

MAYBE, at least wait until Klay career is over to revisit this.
