I’m intrigued too Klay
Wow. Let’s do it.
Rob gotta close this. This an ally from Bron.
Didn’t he go 0-10 in his last game
Sign klay with full mle dump salarie to resign max and upgrade with the picks
If we can get Klay to sign the MLE it’ll be an all-time move
Lifelong laker fan, his dad is the radio commentator, huge Kobe fan, and Lebron willing to take a 20M pay cut for him. I think it’s enough
Man..here we go again.
We ain’t the Los Angeles Home for the Aging, Broken and Cooked Former Stars. Klay has not returned to his former self since his injury.
It’s happening. Makes way way wayyy too much sense.
Not believing shit until it happens. The kyrie saga got me tired still
Do the Lakers even want him? Isn’t he bad on defense now?
Rumor season. Everyone interested in the Lakers but no one actually signs.
I can’t get excited about Klay I’m sorry. He played like cheeks last year, unfortunately his injury caught up to him and he seems washed now.
God damn the hopium is real. Please don’t let me down again 😭 get it done rob
LA can only offer Klay like 13 million total, think its worth a look on the cheap in hopes he can fill the miami allen role
We don’t need Klay we need a guard defender who can hits 3s to start with Reaves
Klay being a Laker has always been destiny just like his daddy did
WASHED KLAY + LAKERS SHOOTING TAX WILL BE DISASTROUS
I have a hard capped Laker fan lens to where I can only pay attention to our own players. Can anyone tell me how Klay is defensively these days? Is he washed or can he still provide anything on that side?
Klay is washed tbh
Idk about this move. He wasn’t great last year and he’s older. If we missed out I wouldn’t be sad. Rather use the money on a big
Using the full MLE on Klay would be a horrible decision.
Leverage for another deal, I’m not falling for this shit again.
Bracing myself to delete a lot of comments
If Klay is mad at GSW and has the option of coming to the Lakers, I think he’d join. If the Clippers have cap for him, they’ll try also. His Dad was a Laker and Klay spent a lot of time in SoCal growing up
Klay definitely isn’t the player he used to be but not sure who would be a better option for the MLE. He can still get hot and hit it from deep but defense is gonna be an issue esp with the lack of defensive depth at the G/F positions.
Unless there’s a better MLE option I’m all for it.
Seriously did you guys watch our series against the Warriors in 2023, Klay is washed we need a big. Same thing with Russ in 2020, we literally played him and abused all of his weaknesses.
Klay sucks though…
Am I taking crazy pills? This guy was WASHED last season and people talking about Klay like he’s still in his prime
No thanks, this dude is cooked
Ray allen all over again
Klay is an all time great but he’s not the player that he once was. There is a reason that the Warriors are letting him walk. The Lakers need younger defensive minded wings to play alongside Lebron and AD.
Klay doesn’t really move the needle that much. Golden State thinks he’s a shell of himself while Klay thinks he’s still a high-level impact wing. He’s still useful, but he’s not as reliable as he once was. The Lakers would still need another high-end scorer even if they acquire Klay Thompson, because today he’s just a spacer – a shooting specialist – rather than a legitimate third option scorer.
I compare Klay’s situation to Dwyane Wade’s move to the Bulls in 2016, and his return to Miami within two years. The key issue here is the ‘respect’ offer from the Warriors, which Klay’s camp did not accept
No way. He’s toast.
FUCK KLAY LETS GET HARDEN!!!!
we’ve seen that klay is washed. this is hardly something to get excited about
Here we go – using lakers as leverage
No no no. We don’t need more injury prone wings. He’s not the same guy anymore.
