[O’Connor] “The Lakers are the ideal fit [for Klay] IMO. Sign for the MLE. Still bring 40% shooting from 3, and protected on defense by AD. LA is also is home. His dad announces games on the radio. If you’re gonna leave that’s the spot.”

Feels very KOC to cap off the benefits with something that’s kinda just tangential.

It makes plenty of sense. And his lack of Knicks pedigree makes it hard to envision him in Dallas.

he declined 2/48 u think hes gonna take mle?

That’d be the most vindictive move to gs too I would think

It’s seems too good to be true.

They don’t currently have the room yet. That’s an issue.

Klay won’t sign for the MLE
__john_cena__
All of this makes sense, but leaving Steph to play with LeBron for less money is also the pettiest move and I think that’s his main reason at this point lol
movedatdope
how many more of his own teammates is AD gonna have to protect on defense lol
old man Bron who hasn’t played defense in years, his nepotism son Bronny, traffic cone Reaves and D’Lo
Spaghettithegreat
Klay making more than the mle fasho
JBeanDelphiki
This last min Lakers media blitz means it’s basically a done deal.
Doobie_Howitzer
AD looking around like “Does ANYBODY play defense around here?”
Seriously, give the MLE to Caleb Martin

Draymond gonna be so jealous if this happens

Isnt most of Lakers protected on defense by AD? At this rate, AD can just say fuck you to all and stop defending altogether.

Can’t wait for Klay to suddenly being called an elite 3-and-D sniper when he signs with LA after being called a washed fraud all last season
raylan_givens6
Mavs and Magic make more sense
meowhatissodamnfunny
There are very few scenarios where I wouldn’t still root for him, but taking less money to go play with LeBron would be so fuckin lame. Don’t need to make it weird, Klay. Just go play in Orlando
Airhammer
I don’t think he’ll sign for MLE.
Particular-Gas-8221
Klay not signing with the lakers for 12 mil 😭🤣
NoKnowsPose
Lakers really gotta stop just assuming that AD is going to cover for the entire team 1-4.
JesseJamesGames449
How does anyone think Klay is taking the MLE? if he was going to take less money he would have stayed with the warriors..
OThePlacesYouWillGo
What I’m trying to figure out is who is Golden State targeting?? I understand Klay feeling slighted, and I understand GSW not believing that Klay is worth that kind of money now, but what in the world? Who are they going to pursue? Lavine, DeRozan? Make a push for Giannis? lol
ChillnShill
They just drafted Knecht to not do this and they need to think about actually playing their rookies this time.
wilonwheels
But Klay’s trying to get paid…
YoungProsciutto
Feels like the Lakers don’t need to be getting older though.

Also old like all the other best players.
ReverseStereo
As much as I would totally embrace Klay coming to the Lakers, I don’t see him coming over at the MLE and if he does it won’t be to the Lakers. He’ll do that somewhere he can win quickly.
Raj2324
AD our only defense. Throw in a bit of vanderbilt
KumingaCarnage
Guys if the eye test met what this article is saying about Klay still shooting 40% from 3 don’t you think the Warriors would’ve offered him the contract he wanted all along?
augustcero
lmao. hidden by AD again and only to be snubbed of any defensive award he rightfully deserves.
*his team’s defense was ass so we can’t vote for him into individual awards*
Objective_Celery_509
What doesn’t make sense is he is leaving the warriors because he was upset with their offer, but the Lakers and Mavs are offering litterally half what the warriors were per year.
Sebas5627
Lakers deadass assume ad can cover for 4 turnstiles

Just using the Lakers to get his last big contract
metsjets86
Can Lebron just take a low number this year with the caveat he will get a freebie year at a big number on the back end.
Lakers will be rebuilding anyway in 2-3 years.
Ghost2Eleven
Uh, is AD going to guard his man on the perimeter for him or something?
irteris
Coming off the bench while.bronny starts that’d be hillarious

Not saying Klay will sign. He could get more money staying with GSW, but if there ever was a time for Klay to play for the Lakers it’d probably be now. Klay has always said he wanted to play for the Lakers for sentimental reasons.
citrixn00b
Lakers, where old, expiring superstars go to die (minus LeBron).
It’s like the final stage of a star. The red supergiant continues to live out its life one MLE at a time before the injuries start to creep up during the supernova stage…then triumphantly announces their retirement and settling into a black hole.
Additional-Big8644
Bro get real if he’ll accept a mle he’ll just stay in golden state. He wants a near max contract why on earth would he sign a mle for 5mil in LA? You LA fans are so delusional it’s insane.
No_Information3972
O’Connor has never been wrong lol.
wowlock_taylan
”Lakers should get everyone for minimum! It just makes sense…for us to keep trying to focus on them the whole season while they are battling for Play-in places!”
Why would Klay accept and MLE deal unless he decides that pettiness worth more than the millions he would be giving up? OR Lakers would pull some shady background ‘marketing’ sponsorship type of deal to make up for the loss of salary.
_aspiringadult
Klay is leaving GSW for not being offered enough money…he’s gonna move to LA for literally less? Deranged take from Keviiiiiin
Drawing_The_Line
The NBA, where every player signs with the Lakers and fans of the teams the player used to be on celebrate them going there. There’s a word for that type of behavior but I just can’t recall what it is. It’s quite funny though, like wanting one’s spouse to have relations with another person in front of them. Yes, Lakers, please take our player, and let me watch and root for it.
