In Rob we trust

Pelinka has to dump Reddish on the Bucks. Ham will probably tell the Bucks to fork over a second to coach him again.

I think they can attach of Hayes/Wood with D'Lo and maybe JHS for hopefully an athletic guard or stronger backup center.

 

[pmatic]

Just a hint of what the cap sheet would look like if Bron took a discount. If they use the NTPMLE (or anything over $5M of the MLE), they can't go past the $178M figure, so someone has to be moved. But I imagine it'll be at least two or three changes incoming.

full circle moment coming.

Lebron plays with Bronny
Mychal calling games for Klay

 

[pmatic]

Shams:

There are higher priorities than Klay. Especially with Knecht, even though he's technically unproven.

 

[pmatic]

 

[BIG LEEMELONE]

Strong hell no to Klay. Just bring Prince back on a vet minimum

 

[CP1708]

This one references Harden as a potential

 

[CP1708]

You and Pabs both.

God damn.

 

[pmatic]

 

[essential1]

Klay and Harden.

 

[MVP]

If they get Klay, Bron going back to play PG. 5 out type offense

 

[CP1708]

Why does Bron want Klay tho? That doesn't seem right to me.

Steph, completely get.
Dray, I get.

Klay? I don't see where Bron thinks he's a piece that can help. Unless he's tryin to make double moves WITH Klay.

Haven't really been following this. Did the Warriors not offer Klay a contract? I thought they did, but he didn't like the money + years or something like that.

He's willing to get less elsewhere because he was upset at what the Warriors were offering him?

 

[grittyman]

Need youth, athleticism, defense, and size.

Klay wouldn’t be at the top of my list but if you can get him AND check some of those other boxes then I’m game

 

[MVP]

He's a shooter and appears the coaching philosophy is going to lean heavy into taking a lot more 3s.

I assume they would trade D'Lo/Gabe/etc to try and upgrade the C or get another wing.

 

[mrdieselfuel09]

Looks like a Lakers leverage play

Brand recognition. He believes he can trust Klay when it's nut crunching time.

Yes
