He said we are behind mavericks because they have already made space whereas Pelinka is still learning how to salary dump smh
Awesomefan09
But can they be a step away at the NTPMLE instead of $20 million? 🤷♀️

If Klay comes, our options at C are a bunch of minimum guys or hoping someone comes available next Winter?

Can someone help me understand the Klay to the lakers thought process? Not even trying to hate just genuinely curious how it’ll work. We know Reaves is not a PG and he’s one of the development/investment players for the lakers so I don’t really see it making since to bring Reaves off the bench, but I know we also wouldn’t bring Klay in to come off the bench so how does this work?

Why are we acting like this is prime Kawai lol. This is washed up Klay that we are banking the entire free agency on.
BoysenberryJunior294
This klay situation is just gonna be another Kyrie, pg, kawhi type situation lol. I hope we can get him cause there’s really not many options left if we’re being honest. I’d much rather have klay than demar.
NoobGaijin
Do you mean a Steph away?
_TIMBER_
Can someone explain the appeal of klay when the lakers already had Dlo? High volume inconsistent three point shooters with suspect defense don’t seem to be the best fit imo
WeCantBothBeMe
Please don’t do a sign and trade
joe2352
Yeah I’m not sure on this one. I guess for the right price fine but I’m not holding my breath on Klay being a very meaningful contributor next season. If he comes in and takes a Ray Allen Heat role I guess.

So is consensus we are doing a sign and trade? Wonder what salary we use + what happens w the MLE now
Droxcy
All I know is if this man goes 0/10 in our playoff run he’s done for lol

Not wanting Klay Thompson in LA next to Lebron James and Anthony Davis officially makes you a dumbass. So please, just shut the fuck up and let it happen.
Klay as a 3rd, 4th option on a team is the most perfect role for him. Our overabundance of guards and forwards give him a lot of time to rest and play valuable minutes.

Why do the Lakers do this to themselves….?? Klay is washed and won’t help at all.

So this turns out to be a Klay for Vando or DLo move? I just would rather stick and see what JJ can get out of those two. Klay doesn’t have much left in the tank. Vando is set for a comeback year, DLo coming off a career season. And moving DLo means more ball handling duties for LBJ. The team gets older and slower with Klay.

Lol I am fully preparing myself for Kawhi 2.0 all over again. Get strung along the whole time only for him to end up in Dallas at the end 🙃

Yeah but that step is off a cliff and ascending into the sky to shine forevermore as a diamond.

James Wiseman..why aren’t we targeting young players? Klay is 34 yrs old… 39 with the injuries.
UglyForNoReason
How though? Josh wants his last big check. He already turned down 24mil a year for 2 years from GSW and we can only offer him 13mil….i really don’t see how the lakers getting has seemed like a realistic option to anybody

A step away from a conversation to have a discussion about the possibility of the team working on a proposal to hold talks of the feasibility

I really just dont want Klay Thompson.

LeBron’s got a great step back!

Dont sign this bum pls

The Mavs are not closer to a title than the Lakers now that Darvin Ham is gone. I’ll take LBJ+AD over Luca+Kyrie any day of the week. Only the media and non-Laker explayers liked Ham. Worthy, Fisher and Horry have a hard time keeping their true feeling of Ham from showing on TV after a loss with his bonehead coaching.

Yah that’s not happening. Klay my dude go get your bag.

People who complain about Dlo being a streaky shooter are about to learn that every shooter is streaky, courtesy of Klay Thompson.
bodaciousbeans
Is current Klay better at defense than dlo? Because it feels like a lateral move at best.
ThrowAwayOkayGoPlay
Maybe the step is a roster clearing trade that also includes a starting 5? Dare to dream amiright
jtromo
Step 1: Talk to Klay Step 2: Convince Klay to sign MLE <— we are here Step 3: Bring Klay to LA
So the only remaining step to signing Klay is to sign him lol
LegendInMyMind
I’d rather have Brook Lopez on this team than Klay Thompson.

Would rather have Grant (or both).
Tipofmywhip
He’s not coming. We aren’t gonna do a damn thing but pay Christie and run it back and lose to the same team we always lose to.
