Klay Thompson to Dallas; 3 years, $50 mil

[cartierhoe]

With the rapid AI advancements they could've done a much better job with this lol especially knowing he was likely leaving for awhile now

 

[King Poetic]

klay knees are shot for defense, which mean the likes of tatum and brown will still to the basket at ease

 

[BigMoneyGrip]

nah. The org did him dirty. Tryna start Podziemski over him.

Nobody ain’t do him dirty bro… mans got maxed out on a 4 year deal and only played 2 of those years….

 

[Rigby.]

I wonder if his sharpshooting provides more value than DJJ’s ~34% from 3, rim running, cutting, and D

And that’s a legit question. What he can bring as a corner shooter for Luka may be so great that it eclipses almost of his faults. They still need secondary playmaking in those non-Luka or Kyrie lineups imo

 

[Heavy_Handz]

Not so fast

ESPN broke the story. That dude holding out hope

 

[RedBull]

Idk on offense this seems amazing but defensively he's a cone and they lost there D guy Derrick Jones, this might set them back.

Better off keeping Jones. I love Klay but I rather have Jones, for this team.

Edit: didn’t know they picked up Naji. I retract.

Does Klay have to do a sign & trade ?

I don’t think the Mavs can sign him to that contract outright but can’t say for 100% certainty

It wasn’t about the money tho. He just wanted 3 years. Like, honestly, that’s not a hard ask.

They're crazy letting DJJ walk for Klay.

djj was on his way out of the league a few years ago but now he's a key cog

ol we can't lose dorian finney smith derrick jones jr.

these guys are a dime a dozen in the league, hell they already replaced him with a younger cheaper version in naji marshall

Low key you should never sign a non all star potential player to deals longer than 2 years. When a star falls off he still is playable if a role player falls off he should be out the league and you got him for 3 more years be crazy. Just eating up your cap

I agree, its like baseball and relievers to me, these guys are good one year and trash the next.

Derrick jones jr was on his way out of the league and was signed for the vet min for his years of service last year

could barely get any minutes for a horrible bulls team, was lucky he was able to start playing with luka and kyrie and had an ok year in a contract season then now conned a team into giving him 30 million guaranteed over the next 3 years.
