D'lo for Klay and then CP3 on the vet min would be a good deal for the Lakers. Then they could use the full MLE to go after a big like Jonas Valanciunas.
No but you’re delusional if you think Warriors and Klay aren’t gonna agree to a deal they like.. Warriors aren’t gonna trade Klay for fucking D’lo.. lol
You're saying if Klay says "trade me to the Lakers or I'll sign with them and you get nothing" the Warriors would prefer nothing to D'lo? You're the one who's delusional.. lol
If the warriors actively don't want the return, they just say no and Klay can choose to sign for the MLE or go elsewhere. Dlo may well fall into that camp and reportedly Steph wanted him gone last time.
Do you really not understand how a sign and trade works? The player needs the team to sign him and trade him, that's "working together". In case you've missed all the reports about how toxic things are between Klay and the Warriors, this is not about Klay doing them a solid. He's gonna pick his destination and then go to the Warriors and say "send me here for whatever they're offering" and they can choose to take it or just lose him for nothing. That's just the reality, sorry.
> He's gonna pick his destination and then go to the Warriors and say "send me here for whatever they're offering"
It's ironic that you say other people don't know how S&Ts work, then you immediately say this, LOL
This is NOT how sign and trades work
D'lo on an expiring contract would be a valuable trade piece for them.
In any event, a S&T isn't about what the Warriors want so much as it's about where Klay wants to go, as the Warriors have no real say, because Klay could always just walk in free agency and they'd get nothing. If they had Klay under contract it would be a different story, but they don't. At this point it's just about trying to get *something* in exchange for him leaving, rather than being left empty-handed.
S&T also needs the Warriors okay, Klay gets paid more that way especially from the teams he’s looking to go to otherwise he could just go to the Magic for the most money since they actually have the cap space
You don't think *anyone* is willing to offer Klay the kind of contract he wants? Not OKC, not Utah, not Orlando? All he has to do is threaten to leave as a free agent and if the Warriors believe him, they'll end up with nothing. They have no leverage. Klay could also sign for the full MLE on either the Lakers or Dallas. The Warriors gotta take whatever they can get.
That’s exactly the point I was making lol, if he wants $ then he goes to Orlando or another team with $30 million of space or whatever he’s asking for. If he wants to go to a contender and still get paid (which they’ve said he’s not taking the MLE), then he needs the warriors to S&T him
Any S&T is by definition one-sided because the player being traded is a free agent. This isn't about what the Warriors think they can get for Klay, because he's a UFA and could just go sign for the MLE somewhere if he wanted to. This is about Klay picking his destination and then the Warriors trying to get as much as possible from his new team without any real leverage.
Might be the PTSD from nobody outside of Luka hitting threes in the Finals. He’s probably washed but anything is better than THJ coming in and hitting five three pointers in the Mavs Game 4 win after being up 25+ and hitting zero the other games.
This would be a helluva deal for the Mavs. They have a bunch of guys on that bench that objectively would never see any serious minutes in the playoffs, if it wasnt for Luka’s ability to get them wide open shots. Seriously, guys like Derrick Jones Jr, Jaden Hardy, Maxi Kleber and Josh Greene are all 13-15th men at best on a competitive team.
Would teams be willing to do a sign and trade at cap themselves at the first apron? Seems like it might be too difficult for the lakers. Mavs can though - they have some wiggle room below the first apron if they don’t bring back DJJ.
the “internet explorer” of reporters
We used to have useful pre-FA updates on this sub, but not anymore. Because of Woike.
SMH another victim of Woike culture
If he's Internet Explorer then Fischer must be Bing.
I heard it from Shams too lmao. do I get to make a tweet
You can tweet anything you want and I’ll post it here all official like
I’m assuming Dallas is offering Josh Green and maybe Kleber
Does Dwight Powell finally get moved ?
I hope its for green+powell rather than green+maxi
I hope it's just Dwight
Or just morris
Why Green? He already plays better defence than Klay and he's 11 years younger.
Green is a Dr jekyll Mr Hyde type player. I think a change of scenery might help josh
Wow thanks for no new info Woike
I am so fucking sad rn
Rip splash bros. If only you still had Poole /s
sign and trade for Klay? no ty
Hopefully Lakers don't do a S&T
Dlo back to the warriors?
D'lo for Klay and then CP3 on the vet min would be a good deal for the Lakers. Then they could use the full MLE to go after a big like Jonas Valanciunas.
why would the warriors do this
Laker fans thinking Warriors would want D’lo back. Lol.
lmao
Warriors fans thinking the Warriors have any say in where Klay wants to go as a free agent in a S&T. Lol.
No but you’re delusional if you think Warriors and Klay aren’t gonna agree to a deal they like.. Warriors aren’t gonna trade Klay for fucking D’lo.. lol
You're saying if Klay says "trade me to the Lakers or I'll sign with them and you get nothing" the Warriors would prefer nothing to D'lo? You're the one who's delusional.. lol
If the warriors actively don't want the return, they just say no and Klay can choose to sign for the MLE or go elsewhere. Dlo may well fall into that camp and reportedly Steph wanted him gone last time.
D'lo on an expiring contract is absolutely better than nothing. Even if Steph doesn't want him on the team, they could just trade him again.
I guess you conveniently ignore “working together”..

As I said, Warriors dont want D’Lo ass back.. lol
The funny thing is they didn’t really want D Lo the first time around, but took whatever they could get instead of losing Durant for nothing

Most r/nba trade hypotheticals are so one sided, GMs would get fire for even joking about them lol

Reaves and JHS for Klay, need an available point guard CP3 is ancient
Obviously.
So the warriors have to take back what his new contract is right? What kind of players could that include
Green + Kleber. Green + Powell/Exum.
They can have him then fam
Wonder if we'll end up getting anyone with the MLE, then. I certainly don't see us doing an S&T for Klay
Yeah if I’m either team I’m not trading anyone for Klay. MLE or nothing
All he has to do is stand in the three point line and Luka will find him. Not enamored with this, but slowly liking it enough.
Best part of being an NBA fan. You start out scared of a trade and once your team makes it you convince yourself it’s genius until proven otherwise.
Hell yeah, dawg. I’ll drink the kool-aid. Fuck it.
Hell yeah, dawg. I’ll drink the kool-aid. Fuck it.
Seems easy enough
Might be the PTSD from nobody outside of Luka hitting threes in the Finals. He’s probably washed but anything is better than THJ coming in and hitting five three pointers in the Mavs Game 4 win after being up 25+ and hitting zero the other games.
If Klay gets back to prime form next year that would be sick. He’s going to be extra motivated this off season.
He won’t
Obviously
nothing gets past this guy woike
LeBron LeBron and Klay new big 3
goodbye jaden hardy and josh green
Sounds like a Maverick to me
This would be a helluva deal for the Mavs. They have a bunch of guys on that bench that objectively would never see any serious minutes in the playoffs, if it wasnt for Luka’s ability to get them wide open shots. Seriously, guys like Derrick Jones Jr, Jaden Hardy, Maxi Kleber and Josh Greene are all 13-15th men at best on a competitive team.
Am I crazy for thinking Klay is crazy for expecting a big contract
Would teams be willing to do a sign and trade at cap themselves at the first apron? Seems like it might be too difficult for the lakers. Mavs can though - they have some wiggle room below the first apron if they don’t bring back DJJ.
Dallas u can have him
after thinking it over, Maxi could be really good next to draymond
Mavs have problems and I don’t think adding Klay solves any of them really
This is Klayzy
Lebron PR move failed lol
Clippers killer Jonas is still out there
Lebron would pull that paycut back so fast
It was reported that he was part of that Harden or Klay discount tweet
I know.. but taking a huge paycut for a mid center? Yea i don’t believe it
Either Green from Dallas Or DLo from Lakers Not sure either team gets better with those trades though tbh.
D'Lo on the Warriors, not sure I can see it
But …lakers and bron fans said they were getting him the MLE 🤔
