The Official NBA Season Thread: Free Agency Day

Lakers were middle of the pack defensively and worst in the league in 3pt shots attempted last year

What 3pt shooters did they have? Attempts have alot to do with your personnel.

Luka and Kyrie didnt help THJ get any better and Seth Curry had his worst year as a Mav.

If I'm one of the greatest shooters ever I'm not going to play with Kyrie and Luka. I want the ball.

Lakers caught fire after December. D'Lo, Bron, Rui, Taurean all had good shooting seasons, Reaves was up and down. But they didn't attempt a lot of threes because the priority was rim attacks. Redick wants more threes though.

Klay def going to LA.

 

[ballinsam23]

Forgot about Reddick too. If I'm Klay i'm def picking a team coached by Reddick. He'll get me the ball.

I *think* the Lakers would ask more of Klay than the Mavs would. But if he doesn't want to do a heavier lift (particularly offensively), then I wouldn't blame him.

Defensively, I think bringing him in would force Vando to start and be the lead defender that Rui can't be and Christie isn't ready for.

The workload issue is why I'm a little surprised that Clippers are out of the running for him. With Kawhi, Mann and now DJJ around, Klay wouldn't be expected to take the toughest perimeter defensive assignments and also would fit in pretty seamlessly with the Clippers offense as a floor spacer.

BUT, Klay's dad is a Laker, so I was always doubtful we had a real shot.

If Lakers was smart they go for Jordan Poole .

Yeah this is the last time I'm even responding to you.

Their BEST SHOOTERS in the Luka era were Tim - who this thread and Knicks fans in particular have **** on for years now - and Seth Curry - who can't defend and can't do anything other than shoot. And you can easily argue both those guys had their best years playing next to Luka.

Listen to what you're arguing and how flatly stupid it sounds.

He’s just babbling

Dallas is better defensively AND generates more 3pt attempts. JJ will for sure have the team shooting more, but Dallas probably would shoot more as well.

Like we have all the stats. You don’t have to just make stuff up

Wanna apologize to Klay for all my jokes last year

Klay can play good defense again?

 

[Mark Antony]

I'm wondering where all this acceptance for Klay coming from like we didn't see him be completely washed the whole season. What new information am I missing?

It's just the homers getting ready to switch up.

We've all forgotten last season. It don't count.

Might be a little too long in the tooth, but I think he's a good with Dame.

[allergic2broke]

This free agency overall sucks.

Why you so mad? Ya'll not going anywhere next year anyway

If you're gonna be this mad atleast post some stats to back up your fandom.

Please show me how THJ and Seth had their best years. There is a reason THJ got sent to the nights watch aka Detroit. Half his years in DAL were the same ****

How did I miss this

How they gon pad them triple doubles together

 

[ballinsam23]

Luka spent the entire Finals not getting his role players involved. I'm supposed to believe he'll make Klay better.

Kyrie balled out in a contract year to get paid. I'm supposed to believe the Mavs will be just as good. He'll go back to his regular self.

Mavs lost their best defender. I'm supposed to believe Klay will be guarding everyone at 35.

Seth went there to die. THJ stats all stayed the same or dropped with Kyrie/Luka.

Its ok to be a fan, dont be a blind one.

 

[datznasty]

Westbrook coming to Denver now as a face instead of a heel is such a wwe move. Just need him to hit Kawhi in the back with a chair to seal it

Who says Joker does not care about basketball

Thinking Russell Westbrook might help you win a championship is peak NBA superstar thinking
