fukk what yall talking bout. LA need Klay.
Curry not Lebron
Curry not Lebron
Imagine thinking Bron gon give up 20 mil for Gabe VincentsBuha said the quiet part out loud. LeBron gave them a list of players he's willing to take less for them to sign. If the player isn't on that list, he's taking the max and locking them out of the MLE. LeBron is dictating their free agency.
Klay literally shot GS out of their last playoff series AGAINST LA and went 0-10 in his last game as a Warrior. What the fukk are you even arguing?
I guess y'all argument is that everyone in basketball operations at the Mavs, Lakers, Clippers, Sixers, etc. is a casual and Klay Thompson being considered an asset is an indefensible error that should get everyone fired. Yet another case where The Coli should be running a front office.
Remember, Ray Allen shot 30% from 3pt in his final postseason with Boston.....compared to Klay who has NEVER shot worse than 36% from 3pt in any regular season or postseason in his entire career. You're complaining about one series against the Lakers, but Ray shot 45/28, 38/27, and 38/35 in his final three series with Boston And he was older than Klay is now and played even less defense. How'd that work out for Miami? Sure, he shot bad in a couple series for them, but he changed the spacing and won games for them too.
Klay is still an asset shooter. The question at hand, like I said before, is his defense, not his shooting.
This is the same franchise who signed Gabe fukking Vincent to 33 million, traded Kuz and KCP for Westbrook, let Caruso, Zubac, Lopez and Randle go for nothing. So what you think?I guess y'all argument is that everyone in basketball operations at the Lakers is a casual.

But oh wait. Weren't you praising the Lakers for signing Gabe Vincent last year? Yes you were.
We have already established these so called experts don't know shyt about basketball and just run with narratives. Vincent was never a good basketball player. I hated the signing and was VERY vocal about it. That aint no Monday Morning Quarterbacking from me. Anyone who watched Gabe play in Miami and thought he was a good player don't know basketball period. Miami fans were happy when he left.I said that Gabe Vincent was mediocre as fukk but that was the best you can expect for $11 million.
He got hurt three games into the season and barely played all season. If he looked like healthy 2022 or 2023 Gabe Vincent, the Lakers would have had the 3 and D they needed while their guards were getting lit up continuously. There's a reason why the signing was generally supported around the league even if it was never going to be a needle-mover. Monday morning quarterbacking based on an injured player is lame.

Defense/health for me.
Agree with everything else a pure shooter who isn't the focus of the offense being detrimental is stupid.
Exactly.
They're shytting on Klay for individual games when gunners always have bad games. ALL of Klay's shots are from distance so he's going to have days he misses them, he doesn't have a handful of layups to boost his shooting %'s. On average, he's still a very capable 3pt shooter.
Whether he can defend his position anymore is the bigger question, because the Lakers need defense on the perimeter even more than they need a shooter. That's the main reason I think he's an iffy fit for the team.
