If they play all three at the same time they're gonna get roasted defensively

Good.

So he declined the 2 year, 45/48 that GS offered during the season to take a 3 year deal for less money. Pride is quite the drug.

Klay's head has been up his own ass for years now. No one in his corner probably has the balls to tell him that he's cooked.

Grimes to learn from Klay is pretty cool

Maybe he wants to compete?

No, he wanted more than he's worth and it backfired.

Dallas needs defensive wings. Luka is great, but offense will only get them so far.
Lively is nice though.

Grimes will help but he ain’t no wing.

Btw Why did Detroit trade Grimes for only 3 seconds and Timmy? Wow

Klay's corpse will average %50 from 3 next to Luka

Bitadze would be absolutely ideal and is eerily similar to Hartenstein. Bitadze can also hit a 3 once in a while. I kinda doubt he'd sign for the 5mill. I see Orlando or another team giving him 8mill. a year. Maybe we can promise him something like a guaranteed 18minutes at least to showcase himself but I think it is a longshot.

Getting him would be great though.

This. Everybody seems to underrate Klay Thompson (and Doncic still).

He’s a great fit next to Doncic though.

Gafford
Washington
Doncic / Jones
Klay / Grimes
Irving

Embiid / Drummond
Oubre
George
Gordon / Hield
Maxey / Payne

the Sixers have to often injured players in Embiid and George and no real depth at all… dont know how much cap space they have left to fill the voids

What about Mo Wagner then?

stuporman · Post #2058 » by **stuporman** » Tue Jul 2, 2024 12:42 am

The Mavs made the right moves at the trade deadline after taking a huge risk with Kyrie so it paid off but adding Klay might be one risk too many because the payoff was based on playing defense...except Klay aint about that life anymore.

As the west gets stronger they may have already peaked...
