MAJOR Dallas Mavericks Rumors: Sign Klay Thompson Or LeBron James This Summer + Draft Bronny James?

MAJOR Dallas Mavericks Rumors: Sign Klay Thompson Or LeBron James This Summer + Draft Bronny James?

Here’s what we’re talking about on Mavericks today by chat sports could the Mavericks sign Clay Thompson this offseason a new report out there from sham Shir and is LeBron James potentially going to team up with bronny if the Mavericks draft him a lot of Juicy stuff to discuss as we are in the

Middle of the All-Star break and speaking of witch Coupe can we get 200 likes on this video I think we can the boss has told me if we don’t get 200 likes on this video we may have to stop doing daily videos during the week so I

Need a challenge I need help more than anything please hit that thumbs up icon if you like what you’re seeing at Mavericks today and we’ll get into Today’s Show could Clay Thompson be a Dallas Maverick this time next year let’s discuss here on the show Harrison Graham

And Jeffrey cooperstein and Coupe uh it sounds like according to Sham shiran that Klay Thompson is going to hit the open market he reports that Klay rejected a 2year $48 million extension from Golden State and now is going to test the open Waters which is certainly very interesting for a guy that many

Assumed would be a warrior for Life yeah Shams went on the Pat McAfee show and basically said that Clay is going to test free agency and he’s going to have a lot of interest there on the open market it’s not been the easiest of years whatsoever for clay I would say

It’s been hardest of his career to date uh he’s he was just benched in the starting lineup and ironically enough he had his best game of the season where he had 35 points off the bench for the Warriors but uh he’s averaging 17 this season not shooting great from three by

His standards it’s still pretty good on almost nine attempts per game so Klay obviously isn’t what he once was where he was one of the best guard defenders in the league as well he obviously lost a little bit of a step after he missed those two years uh to injuries with the

ACL and then the ailles pretty much back to back but I have to believe that Klay Thompson can still help a contending team in even in his current state yeah I still think Klay can contribute here’s my only question though Coupe is like he’s turning down 24 a year with golden

State I mean is some team throwing him 30 million a year I guess it’s possible but yeah I’m not doing that if I’m a contender like if I’m the Mavericks and he wants 30 million a year hey man thanks for the meeting we’ll see It’ll exactly like that’s not going to happen

Yeah and it was Clay has kind of always been pretty steadfast on he wants to still paid like like he’s a top 20 player in the league and he has said that pretty much throughout uh even when the report came out around the beginning of the season when him and the warriors

Were talking about a contract he said that he feel likees he deserves to be a max player still and he’s going to go try to find that on the open market not sure where he gets that but like you said uh if if that’s the case the Mavs

Are priced out because they have no flexibility basically uh for at least the next two seasons in free agency so if they were to get a Clay Thompson it would have to be an assigned trade and I don’t think the MS are giving up any assets in that I mean look I appreciate

Klay Thompson’s career but to me he’s kind of just like a 4 for 80 guy at this point like I think he’s a $20 million player and I think that extension that he rejected might be the most money he gets oh I absolutely believe that now maybe some desperate team emerges and

Gives him 25 26 but like if you’re turning down 24 million per year from the team youve played your entire career to me you’re thinking you can get 30 plus I don’t see where he finds that unless he finishes the year on an AB heater and Golden State goes on a nice

Run I I I don’t know where that comes from because he’s he’s not the efficient shooter that he once was still a a decent to good shooter uh and the defense is definitely not what it once was so I don’t really like if you’re paying him 30 million you’re you’re

Paying him just praying he becomes the player he was two three four years ago yeah I I think playay bet on himself before the season and thought hey I’m going to have a good season I’ll be able to go on the open market and get basically whatever I want well it really

Hasn’t really worked out out that way they removed him from the starting lineup he hasn’t been closing games as of late as well but maybe he has found a new role coming off the bench because that was the best he’s ever looked he hit seven threes the other night uh in

The Warriors win so maybe he can find that but you’re not paying six men 30 million a year it’s also not just the play it seems like he’s frustrated like he absolutely you know I I I feel like probably not too long ago Coupe he couldn’t invin himself playing anywhere

Else but I feel like now he might just be like I’m just going to go somewhere like this this run has run its course here they paid Draymond they’re not going to pay me so I’m just going to go somewhere else but he seems like a West

Coast guy his dad obviously played for the Lakers for a while won a couple championships there uh but who knows I don’t know I don’t think the Lakers are really an opportunity for him given their cap situation so I don’t know what what’s going to happen with Clay but if

He’s on the open market uh I’m not sure he gets what he’s looking for so maybe the Mavs could be in play yeah could be interesting do you want the Mavericks sign clay Type S for sign P for pass I mean look if they flipped Tim Hardaway

Jr and paid clay around what Tim’s making 18 to 20 like sure even though clay isn’t what he was I’d probably still have take him over Tim just because he is a little bigger he can guard threes in addition to twos um but like that’s it like yeah I’m not giving

Him 25 30 million per year I just I I don’t think he’s worth that so s for sign P for pass if you want the Mavericks to sign Klay Thompson all right coming up could LeBron and Brony end up in Dallas next year LeBron has a player option could opt out and explore

Mystery teams that LeBron would consider signing with if said team drafted bronny James here’s Mark Stein with the report and Stein doesn’t put out BS he said I know of at least two teams on the NBA map that believe LeBron would consider signing with them for less than 51.4

Million if bronny is on the roster there might be more than those two teams I think the Mavs are probably one of those for a couple reasons one a lot of Stein Scoops are Mavericks related absolutely and two we know LeBron respects Luca we know he and Kyrie have a tight

Relationship like he might View Dallas and by the way Dallas very easy to get to either Coast he can keep all his businesses going in LA and the Dallas La direct flight DFW Hub is there’s a million of them not difficult at all uh to uh to to not that LeBron’s flying

Commercial no but I mean you know my point like you could fly into Dallas get there pretty quickly um no big deal whatsoever um I mentioned the Don stuff Jason kid too it’s good point with uh him being a top assistant when the Lakers won a title a few years ago Nico

Harrison Nike connection Kyrie is here Mavs are win now You could argue have a better chance moving forward than the Lakers uh do and remember Coupe Dallas picked up a second round pick yeah from um Charlotte in that deal uh for Grant Williams so you could use that pick to

Select bronnie James and listen some might call that a throwaway pick the Mavs have thrown away worst picks they drafted satam sing a few years ago second round’s a is a crapshoot anyway I wouldn’t be opposed to draft Brony James now look should bronny come out this year probably not he should probably

Play at least another year in college he’s still just a few months for being medically cleared after having that Cardiac Arrest issue I’ll say this he he he can defend in the NBA right now we’ve seen in in the couple of games that he’s played at USC that he can defend and he

He has some length there uh he’s just very raw in the offensive end he’s not putting up great numbers over there in what is soon to be the defunct Pack 12 uh so I could see bronnie you know being a project that some team takes on but if

He’s your 15th man that occasionally plays in Frisco and is selling jerseys for you I mean it’s not like Marie Morris is playing much like um there’s worse ideas is my point there absolutely are worse ideas and now that Mark Cuban’s obviously not as involved as he

Once was but I got to believe that he would be someone that’d be very interested in this type of deal to bring uh one of if not the greatest player to ever play the basketball game think how many jerseys you would sell with not just LeBron jerseys but it I don’t care

If Brony goes undrafted and signs a two-way deal with the his jersey will be a top five most sold Jersey his first year in the league so if they’re on the same team does one say James and one say James Jr is he technically junior he is he’s

LeBron James Jr I don’t know or do they just both say James with different numbers James and one to wear 23 and one to wear six I would guess I like that um look LeBron is still you know even if you’re low on him at this point what top

15 at wor still probably a top 10 player in this league he’s averaging 257 and eight the efficiency is there shooting better from three than ever when he wants to lock in he can obviously he can’t commit to doing that every single night on the defensive end but um look

He can still play and if he’s your third second third guy behind Luca and Kyrie now look I’m very much in the camp of I don’t think three max players works that well but the report is he may you may not have to pay a Max to get him so

It’s interesting I think the Mavs could be a team he’d be interested in and if you pair those three together Luca Kyrie and LeBron and still have you know Gafford and Hardway and a couple of these role players you could have something cooking next year at the right

Bu age of 39 which is what LeBron just turned he’s still doing it and I think he could still do it for at least three more years twoe deal two two years 80 million sure I mean something like that if he’s going to decline that player

Option and sign for less if Bron’s on on that team I got to believe the Mavericks have a legitimate shot at LeBron I mean I we’ve said that before the Mavs have kind of been in the running like back in 2014 they were one of six teams uh that

Actually got a meeting with LeBron but nothing really came to fruition there it would be weird to see him play here just after all the years doubt some of the drama but I wouldn’t say no I would yeah you’d be crazy to say no to LeBron James

On your team oh man if it make getting LeBron would you draft bronny why fors in for no absolutely in the Mavs case because it’s a second round pick who gives a damn if it if the Mavs had the 10th pick I wouldn’t do it but exact if

It’s the 35th pick if it’s the I’m in if it’s the 51st pick I’m in exactly if if you have a chance to get LeBron I think you do it yeah no doubt about and again worst case scenario you draft bronnie you don’t get braon okay you sell a

Bunch of jerseys and you try to develop bronny who his dad is one of the greatest players of all time so like it’s not like it’s a complete waste regardless of what route you go I do think he’d benefit from at least one more year in college again he’s still

Just getting back from that medical scare from the summer it didn’t get cleared until uh December but uh yeah it’ll be interesting to see how it all plays out all right he’s Jeffrey cooperstein I am Harrison Graham this is going out on Sunday so enjoy the All-Star game tonight Luca donic

Hopefully he goes off maybe wins an All-Star game MVP how about it could be fun let’s see what happens we’ll see you guys tomorrow peace

Mavericks rumors surrounding 2024 NBA Free Agency after reports from both The Athletic’s Shams Charania and Mark Stein and that’s what we’re discussing on today’s show!

– Klay Thompson rumors are heating up after Shams reported that Klay is likely to test NBA free agency rather than sign a contract extension with the Golden State Warriors. Warriors head coach Steve Kerr moved Klay Thompson to the bench just before the 2024 NBA All-Star break amid what has been a frustrating season for the 4-time NBA Champion.
– LeBron James free agency rumors about his potential next destination are tied to the 2024 NBA Draft, because according to NBA Insider Marc Stein, the tram that drafts Bronny James could end up signing LeBron James in 2024 NBA free agency. LeBron has a $51.4 million option with the Los Angeles Lakers next season that he can accept or decline the day before NBA Free Agency begins. Will Mavs GM Nico Harrison and Mavericks head coach Jason Kidd lean on their relationships with LeBron to try and lure him to Dallas?
