for a long time, people claimed - "klay thompson is washed up & past his prime" ..... but if he joined the lakers, those same people will say - "lebron recruited another great prime allstar caliber player, lol 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
They will add him to the list of prime superstars Bron played with such as Dwight Howard, Carmelo Anthony, Rondo, Ray Allen, Shaq, Derrick Rose, Ben Wallace, Isaiah Tomas, Marc Gasol and now Klay will join this pantheon of prime all time great players to share the court with him.
@@BdalingoFitnEntnahhh you slice it the way you want , yall gonna be the same folks acting like LeBron would be getting the 2015 -2018 version of Klay Thompson.
@@Rich_iam I doubt it.. Klay only started playing bad cuz of new management & getting disrespect.. he needs a good team & he will be back to the shooter he was during those finals runs.. I believe he can be the best shooter in the league even over Steph
@@thecoolrichyour take isnt that far off its not like a person can just forget how to shoot especially Klay who is one of the best in nba history but the only problem klay had in GS these past years was his mental and what everybody was saying about him
@@Rich_iam no he isn't. Klay playing bad as a 2nd option scorer averaged 18 pts. KCP barely reach 12 and the worst scorer among the starters. If Klay's role would lessen to 3rd or 4th option scorer and a decent defensive role player, he's going to be extremely valuable.
For perspective, Klay Thompson, last year averages 17.9 PPG, 3.3 RB 2.3 AST 38.7 FG3%. By comparison, Austin Reaves averaged 15.9 PPG, 4.3 RB, 5.5 AST 36.7 FG3%. D'Angelo Russell: 18 PPG, 3.1 RB, 6.3 AST 41.5 FG3%. I get that Klay has a much better RESUME, but in 2025, will he be an REAL upgrade, or are the Lakers chasing names again?
I think he feels insulted coming off the bench and being low balled by a team he's done a lot for. He has enough money. Maybe now it's about playtime, maybe rings and just ending his career the way he wants. If him and Lebron sat down in a room and Bron said he turned down 50+ mill, maybe they can both negotiate a way between them to get Klay and maybe another piece.
@@joelreyes978no lakers should get Luke no matter what the warriors do they’re screwed it seems like there is a shortage of big men and that’s what they need most and neglect most
ESPN you’re so pitiful reporting. Why would LBJ take 25M discount and Klay take 13M fro. LAL? He could stay is GS for 13. Just NEED to squeeze LAL & LBJ every conversation!!! 💩 💩 💩
@@bonganimkhwanazi2081- but realistically, if Klay goes to LA LBJ would have to take a HUGE pay cut for maybe just 1 year and then LBJ can become a free agent again. So the real question is if this year and possibly next season it for LBJ? The Lakers won’t get nobody with Riddick as HC
@@smoothoperator7023 - it’s about Klay and what teams are interested in. But like we said, he won’t join the Lakers and look! Get over yourself. No one wants to join the Lakers and LBJ is legitimately ruining the team
Never knew Draymond Green could destroy a dynasty all because he made the franchise choose him over KD and Pool they would have had 3 or four more rings. What a GM move gave Draymond over 100mill when he did nothing. Curry and Klay should have stayed together with KD and pool. Should have built around those four no matter what. Lakers Re:Tooling team is going to look like the 2012 Heat. Lakers will be champions again
I agree with you . G.s should have not traded k.d G.s should have not gave green the extension.frpnt office probably scared of Draymond green But I heard that green is the heart of golden state.i just don't see it. Should have kept poole too.
@@lucasgarciajr.8242first the heart of that team is Steph...but you can't keep Draymond over Klay...that's just dumb....after what he put us through?..he has destroyed two teams...yet you reward him and chase Klay out..
@@timothykinoti7768this isn’t 2019 klay before his injuries klay maybe has 2 years left he’s done and this is coming from a warriors fan he will never be the same again

Clippers: Harden you didn't show up and choked in the payoff, here's a 2 year extension. PG, you showed up and balled out for us in Playoffs...we wont resign you.
Luka, Kyrie, and klay would be terrible defensively. They would be unplayable. You need a guard who can stop opposing pg penetration. Like the Celtics who had Derrick white and jrue. Getting klay would be disastrous
Klay Thompson who is a fan and subscriber of our channel will be a guest to discuss kung fu movies during the week of Dragon Fest August 2nd. Hopefully by then a decision will be made so we can talk about that as well. Stay tuned :)
@@DMalltheway I don't think they actually did lol or they did a he let his feelings in the way of his wallet ...he isn't getting more then there mid level anywhere else lol no teams have cap space
Klay will become a laker or a clippers if he juss decides to take more money but he will most likely become a laker… bron will get him more money off the court wit business deals… klay would absolutely hate mavericks offense juss a bunch of standing around waitin I dont see him goin there at all… all we need to do is somehow get a center maybe see whats going on with mitchell robinson
@@justacebarnes6211 He's going to accelerate the Spurs development by a season or two. It's not about winning now. It's about creating a dynasty. If CP3 can increase the value of the players around Wembenyama and Castle while making both of those guys better, the Spurs will be a in a prime position to improve their roster with trades and more efficient players.
Even if Lakers manages to get Klay, they won't win a ring with him. Klay legit scored nothing against their recent series with the Warriors. You're telling me this guy has 4 NBA rings and even flexes it with his fingers but manages to get 0 points? When there are 4 quarters in the NBA and has 12 minutes each and the player with 4 NBA rings scores zero? lol. Klay doesn't even want to play for team USA. This dog has fallen so deep like the titanic. The Warriors I heard are recruiting Paul George. The Boston is recruiting more star players. And you're telling me the Lakers just drafted Bronny because of his dad or else Lebron won't play for the Lakers because he's a baby like that and they're more concern about Klay? Than Caruso? Whoever Lakers get they're probably scuffed. Even the Mavericks are recruiting great. The Lakers are more focused on Klay. It's actually crazy that Klay wants a maximum deal with the Warriors or he will leave. Bro scores 0 points and wants a max deal. Amazing!!
Klay would be good for us but the Lakers moves and moves a lot of NBA teams are so confusing to me. You need a bit of youth and energy on every team and getting a team full of older guys, even if they're amazing isn't going to cut it.
@@AphasicMute Oh.. so it was the Buss family decision to hire his podcast buddy as head coach of the Lakers.. I mean, he's a legendary coach of 6 year olds. Also it was their decision to draft his 4ppg son that wasnt even a top 10 player in his own mediocre college team?
This gonna be another Russell Westbrook type of thing. I guess LeBron and them didn't learn. Mann And if the Lakers get him, they actually deserve to lose tbh. FR. IJS
The only one actually doing anything for the Lakers but ok. I hope you ain't a laker fan because if you are I feel bad that you watched Kobe do nothing for 5 years straight
Klay Thompson can’t just leave his splash brotha behind he needs him it’s the iconic duo that won the Golden State Warriors 4 NBA championships and it needs to stay that way TF is you doing stating all these false lies Klay Thompson will stay with the GOAT team of the century the Warriors and that’s that no questions about it!!!
Warriors and klay need to reconcile man. klay missing two seasons, the warriors continued to pay him max money. Klay helped them winning four chips, both should work things out, doesn't need to end this way.
Klay is not settling for the MLE. He's going to Dallas in a S&T to get more money at the $30M per year range. I don't care if the late Jerry West called Klay from the dead. Klay is not going to the Lakers. I think Klay enjoys beating LeBron than helping him win more rings. And isn't Luka like 15+ years younger than LeBron? Why play next to a 40-year-old with maybe 2 good years left? Klay gets to play under Kidd and not a first time head coach that Klay used to destroy on the Clippers because he was only 6'4. Klay is going to be so wide open playing next to Luka and Kyrie. Dallas will only get more dangerous while Denver lost KCP and may end up getting Westbrick to replace him. Bad news, Denver. I'm changing my No. 1 to Boston followed by Dallas if they add Klay.
Why. Klay is Washed up. The warriors don't even want him anymore. That's all the Lakers need, another player who is always hurt. He'll fit right in with LBJ and AD. Smh. Bad move to make
The Warriors don't want to PAY him. And Klay averaged more points per game than Michael Porter Jr, OG Anunoby and one point less than Mikal Bridges despite playing LESS minutes than all of them. So they're washed up too, right?
@drgta6 I watched him average more points per game than Michael Porter Jr and OG Anunoby in less minutes all last season. I watched him shoot a higher percentage from 3 than Tatum and Brown all last season. And being that he's not going to have to be the 2nd option on a team next season, I've seen all I need to see.
@@thomascrowniii1693 You watched him playing against the other team's 2nd unit. There was a reason why he came off the bench. You can have him! The play-in game disaster was the last straw for me. 0-10 and limping on defense, I'm done with Klank!
I've watched Klay Thompson since he played at Wazzu, and he is washed up. It's time to stop talking about these has beens and start talking about players on the come up.
@@SuburbanDMV the only money they have to spend is around 15 million since lebron is taking a pay cut. No matter who stays or goes that is the money they have to work with for this season
joining a horrendous laughingstock organization like the Lakers would be a terrible decision. join an up and coming well run organization like DEN OKC OR MIN. if not those then go to the Mavericks who at least have a much younger core than LAL.
If klay joins our rivals, I don’t know what’s worse, him leaving our team he’s built a legacy with, or joining the rivals we’ve always battled against.
It’s only right if Klay Thompson goes to LA. His pops played there. Klay has about a good 2-3 years left. The Lakers would be a great decision for him.
the celtics is a loaded stacked superteam, so every other nba team should try to form a superteam to match that Celtics superteam. aint nothing wrong with that. similar to how lebron , wade & bosh formed a big 3 superteam, after paul peirce, kevin garnett, ray allen & Rajon rondo formed a big 4 superteam first
As usual, LeBron begging for more help because AD, DLo, Reaves, and Rui are not enough. 😂 Don't worry, LeBrat. You got Bronny. He'll help you win a ring while you hog all the credit... Klay is headed to Dallas. It's a sign and trade. Warriors are not sending Klay to the Lakers. Clippers recently got DJJ, so this may open up more for Klay to go to Dallas. And I hear Klay wants to play next to Luka and Kyrie. As usual, LakerNation thinks they will get everybody and get nobody because their organization sucks and is run by LeBum and Little Richard.
Pat4Clippers as usual you think you know what you’re talking about 🤣 keep the predictions/assumptions coming. The exact opposite happens. Eddie Mush 👴🏻
Lebron has lost 6 times in the NBA Finals. Lebron is 1-8 in his last 9 playoff games. ESPN is trying too hard to make their fake goat like good at all times. Can you imagine Mahomes losing 6 Super Bowls and claiming to be a goat?
Mahomes won't even make it to 5 superbowls. Bron is the goat. Dude waited 20+ years to start using his numbers against him lol comparing year 21 Bron to prime Jordan is proof he's the goat.
As a catch and shoot player Klay fits perfect for LeBron who hits played right in there shooting form. Klay would only need 3 dribbles a game as a spot up shooter for the lakeshow
