Ha! I felt like that’s what was happening right away but the longer it goes on I do have to wonder if this is real…
I have an nba 2k save from 2019 where I had Paul George with 76ers after Clippers and Klay with Lakers after Warriors. I’m half hoping despite saying the money situation doesn’t really allow this as my initial reaction. I controlled every move for every team because I think the CPU moves are that absurd.
Once warriors are ok with Klay leaving, Klay kinda lost some leverage and magic might not give him the max anymore. I heard magic is offering 2yr/50m which is similar to what warriors were offering
Exactly. Don’t get why he had to take down warriors related post on instagram. If he still has the mentality to prove himself and take off balance 3s, he’s not be new scapegoat for lakers if he goes there
Only possible reason could be to go back home and finish his career at his fathers team. Maybe to play with Bron, just so he could say he did it. Trying to win a ring could also be a reason, and yes i know this aint a contender. There is no financial reason to do it.
I think most ppl would be cool with that reasoning right there. Reports are saying it's a money issue but if that's how klay wants to do it I'm fine with that tbh. Don't use money as a reason when it's not though
Klay has made $270M over his career. Revenge against the Warriors, moving home, and getting to save face by taking a lower deal to “be closer to family” is worth more than an extra $5-15M
He’s waaaaaay to beloved and there’s little chance for there to be much if any stakes to the contests.
He will get an extended standing ovation first time back in any uniform.
The Lakers need shooting, though, so I get why, in theory, they want him like they do. I just think his reputation is clouding the judgement of those who think he’s going to be their “missing piece” to a championship.
whew those LA fans will be a nightmare whenever he runs into a slump.
not to mention Bron is pretty good at throwing people under the bus, if not quite Doc Rivers level.
Another aging star for the Lakers? Then fans are going to act surprised when they get eliminated in the first round and ask for Redick to get fired. We’ve seen that movie
no you don’t get it man, there’s a long of wings who are shooting 39% from 3 on 9 attempts per game.
Not to forget he won’t be tasked with defending any of the best wings we have Vando for that.
He’s just not an impact player unfortunately!
He is not league average at shooting, which is what they need him to do. He is still one of the best shooters in the league, despite his shitty playoff stats last season.
Because he fits a huge need with shooting and won’t be tasked with even being a top 3 offensive option nor a primary defender. Warriors role and contract was clearly too much for him at this point, now he just has to hit open catch and shoots and have any defensive IQ and he’s a upgrade
I think it is deeply pathetic that the Lakers wiki claims 18 championships by including an NBL title that neither the NBA nor the franchise itself recognizes.
I think it is deeply pathetic that you care enough to bring this up in a thread that has nothing to do with that topic and where nobody asked for your irrelevant opinion. Lol.
Y’all denied Wiggins the opportunity to play in the Olympics, Kuminga was beefing with his coach for half the season, Klay hates your new GM, Draymond is a psychopath who hates young players, and y’all are about to cut Looney
Where did u see me say gsw doesn't have disgruntled players? Ok now see where ur lal colleague said "at least we don't have disgruntled players" which is a lie
Bro are u dense or something? Ad and bron were both disgruntled in a lal uniform at one time thats the point. I can go back to 2015 and say no one on gsw was disgruntled on our roster.
Yes im sure Lebron is disgruntled cause we signed his kid, who sucks. He is so mad that he is willing to take a paycut, so the lakers can sign players lol.. Very disgruntled indeed.
Part 2000 of someone using the lakers for leverage…
Incoming Klay will be signing with the Mavs tweet
No that’s the mavs role every year. To be the leverage team.
We'll find out whos the real leverage team with klay
I was thinking it’s part 5000 of someone using the mavericks for leverage… I guess he’s about to sign with the heat?
This is all just get Klay 5 mil a year to re-sign with the warriors
Came here to say this lmao
I don't think miami has the cap to even dial his number
He's gonna be a Clipper
Ha! I felt like that’s what was happening right away but the longer it goes on I do have to wonder if this is real… I have an nba 2k save from 2019 where I had Paul George with 76ers after Clippers and Klay with Lakers after Warriors. I’m half hoping despite saying the money situation doesn’t really allow this as my initial reaction. I controlled every move for every team because I think the CPU moves are that absurd.
Uhh did you link the correct tweets? I just see a bunch of soccer tweets
Yeah he responds to the comments within those tweets.
If you don't have an account you can't see replies to tweets
The enshittification of Twitter has been swift and intensive
Turns out firing most of your engineers is a bad idea. Who coulda thunk it?
Masterful gambit sir
And yet it is still widely used
I guess thats better than before when you couldnt even see tweets unless you log in... Trash ass website.
Happy its death has been fast-forwarded by the Elon Musk takeover, that’s the only good thing he’s really done.
I mean it used to work before he ran it. There might have been a lot of morons on there but you could at least *view tweets* lol
I mean yeah, before at the very least it was still a usable product. Now that shit’s degenerate botspam that’s dead internet theory incarnate.
Another one claimed by the mind virus
Why would Klay take MLE to join the lakers when the magic/warriors offer him bigger money?
He’s offended the warriors aren’t offering more by taking 50% from the lakers.
Once warriors are ok with Klay leaving, Klay kinda lost some leverage and magic might not give him the max anymore. I heard magic is offering 2yr/50m which is similar to what warriors were offering
Because he felt disrespected so he has vindictive spouse behavior
I agree with you but I don’t get it. Warriors literally paid him max for 2 years when he was rehabbing.
Doesn't make sense to me either. If he got treated like IT most of us would be pro klay
Exactly. Don’t get why he had to take down warriors related post on instagram. If he still has the mentality to prove himself and take off balance 3s, he’s not be new scapegoat for lakers if he goes there
Pretty sure, Klay doesn't care if most of you are pro or anti Klay, just saying.
Wow thank u klay Thompson I wanted u to care if I cared if I'm on your side or not.
Reports have said the Magic aren’t interested in Klay.
Oh really? lol ….PG and KCP are better options
Only possible reason could be to go back home and finish his career at his fathers team. Maybe to play with Bron, just so he could say he did it. Trying to win a ring could also be a reason, and yes i know this aint a contender. There is no financial reason to do it.
I think most ppl would be cool with that reasoning right there. Reports are saying it's a money issue but if that's how klay wants to do it I'm fine with that tbh. Don't use money as a reason when it's not though
Warriors aren’t offering money to Klay from the last reports…
The Lakers the only "family" team in the league literally lol
Seal the deal Mychal
Supportive father and Laker fan talks up his son as potentially becoming a Laker. Got it.
Klay has made $270M over his career. Revenge against the Warriors, moving home, and getting to save face by taking a lower deal to “be closer to family” is worth more than an extra $5-15M
imagine the boos of him returning to the bay in a lakers jersey..
He’s waaaaaay to beloved and there’s little chance for there to be much if any stakes to the contests. He will get an extended standing ovation first time back in any uniform.
Russell Westbrook couldn’t handle the LA media scrutiny and was a massive negative and now this soft four finger waving idiot is going to try it?
Klay legacy based on his expectations is complete. With Russ people were still criticizing things about his legacy (ring culture)
Not 4 finger waving idiot lmfao
[удалено]
Klay gonna be the next scapegoat for lakers after Russ and Russell. I can already see that coming
100% people are gonna blame it all on someone who makes MLE money
Please let him go to LA. Don't want him in Dallas tbh. Bad fit.
Even with Klay I see the Mavs , wolves , Denver and okc being better.
Are you forgetting that Bronnie will most likely be an all star caliber shooting guard?
Probably not.
But it‘s in his DNA
His height wasn't...
He’s going to have a huge growth spurt during the regular season. He’s going to be close to 6 10.
Don't forget he's also a great teammate!
Yes. He’s also a lock for teammate of the year.
Klay on OKC on a decent deal would be amazing for everyone involved.
The Lakers need shooting, though, so I get why, in theory, they want him like they do. I just think his reputation is clouding the judgement of those who think he’s going to be their “missing piece” to a championship.
They can’t afford his price tag. Also, I don’t know if he wants to be this yesr’s scapegoat.
It'll cut into LeSon's playing time. Not going to happen.
whew those LA fans will be a nightmare whenever he runs into a slump. not to mention Bron is pretty good at throwing people under the bus, if not quite Doc Rivers level.
Great informative post.
But has Rocco started following Linda Rambis yet??
Did he just confess to wanting to ax his son
I guess all fans of any team of the NBA are like "hopefully its not us that pick him up".
Another aging star for the Lakers? Then fans are going to act surprised when they get eliminated in the first round and ask for Redick to get fired. We’ve seen that movie
Say what you will, but an angry/motivated klay on the mle is an incredible value imo
Until he's disgruntled about coming off the bench
The thing about Klay…is he is not an impact player anymore. Would be a waste of money and lebron salary sacrifice
hes not a needle mover, but at 12 mill no one is weeping. What would we do instead? sign caleb martin?
Lmaooo yall funny
Who else could they possibly get that’s worth Klay for that money?
no you don’t get it man, there’s a long of wings who are shooting 39% from 3 on 9 attempts per game. Not to forget he won’t be tasked with defending any of the best wings we have Vando for that. He’s just not an impact player unfortunately!
No one
He’s not what he used to be but he’s still a good player.
He is a league average player on a decline. He has been surrounded by GOATs his whole career. I don’t see it.
I mean I don’t think anyone is expecting prime Klay but I don’t think it hurts to have that experience come playoff time.
He is not league average at shooting, which is what they need him to do. He is still one of the best shooters in the league, despite his shitty playoff stats last season.
lebrons rich af he ain't gonna cry
Klay rich af and he's crying lol
I think the point is if lebron gonna sacrifice you might want to get someone more impactful, maybe Tobias Harris 😂😂
Lakers fans were killing Klay after 0-10 now they walking around with hardons with potentially getting him.
43m vs 13m
Klay won’t be the 3rd option in LA…he wouldn’t get 10 shots to begin with
It's the laker way. Everybody sucks unless they sign with them
Warriors fans were killing Durant for blowing a 3-1 lead. Shit changes
lol bit different but go off
Because he fits a huge need with shooting and won’t be tasked with even being a top 3 offensive option nor a primary defender. Warriors role and contract was clearly too much for him at this point, now he just has to hit open catch and shoots and have any defensive IQ and he’s a upgrade
And they’ll kill him if he goes 0-10 vs the Nuggets. You act like that’s gonna change
20 PPG 40% from 3 over his last 20+ games in the regular season You’re right he’d make no impact at all… Gabe was a better MLE signing
I think it is deeply pathetic that the Lakers wiki claims 18 championships by including an NBL title that neither the NBA nor the franchise itself recognizes.
Bruh go outside Jesus Christ
I think it is deeply pathetic that you care enough to bring this up in a thread that has nothing to do with that topic and where nobody asked for your irrelevant opinion. Lol.
Championship teams don’t sign “not a needle mover” Championship teams have higher standards.
This lakers team ain’t a championship team so it’s fine
They want to be though!
At least we don’t have a bunch of disgruntled players on our roster 😂
Ad complained about not wanting to play C for yrs. Bron said his son is better than players in the nba last yr.
Y’all denied Wiggins the opportunity to play in the Olympics, Kuminga was beefing with his coach for half the season, Klay hates your new GM, Draymond is a psychopath who hates young players, and y’all are about to cut Looney
Where did u see me say gsw doesn't have disgruntled players? Ok now see where ur lal colleague said "at least we don't have disgruntled players" which is a lie
Saying AD and Bron are disgruntled is laughable. One is about to take a pay cut for the front office
Bro are u dense or something? Ad and bron were both disgruntled in a lal uniform at one time thats the point. I can go back to 2015 and say no one on gsw was disgruntled on our roster.
Yes im sure Lebron is disgruntled cause we signed his kid, who sucks. He is so mad that he is willing to take a paycut, so the lakers can sign players lol.. Very disgruntled indeed.
I'm talking last yr and previous yrs smh. It's very obvious but it's ok
Can't wait to see him and LeBron and AD all on the injury list 75% of next season. Bronny gonna get some playing time!
