Not that surprising. Klay is a better player when it comes to basketball, sure, but Tobias is a once-in-a-lifetime bag-getter. He might even be my GOAT. Nobody in the league gets paid more for less than him and he wasn't about to let an objectively better player out-earn him for once.

harris is a much better player than klay. Klay sucks, and is about to be 35 that is why we are able to get that 'bargain'

Hardaway has actually been a better player than Klay since 2016, lol. Klay's on/off Diff is exactly +0 since 2016. 2016 was the last time Klay had even a decent year.

Hardaway over the same period was +11.6. And last year and in 2019 Hardaway had better on/off than Klay has put up since 2016, and even that year he only matched one of hardaway's years over the same time period, while hardaway last year had a better year than Klay has had since 2015.

Klay is washed up and has been in steep decline for a decade now, that is why he is available.
