I think their defense is fine; they just got outplayed by the Celtics. When they beat the Wolves to qualify for the finals, that was already proof that they have a working defense, so let's hope they improve their weaknesses so we can see them in the finals again. Having Klay Thompson is a huge lift for their offense as they now have a complete threat both inside and outside. Klay is a shooter, consistent enough to bring some energy to the team, so that’s what I want to see from him in his first season with the Mavericks.
It will bring interest for those viewers who loves to see additional aid, though Klay was a good 2-way player before the injury but I think he still got something if he will push for it, he's a good defender plus a good offensive option especially when Luka or Kyrie already breaks the defense a kick out for an open 3 might be a good offensive threat for them.
We will see what help can Klay might bring for the team, I like to see him bringing his best and really help Mavs for another chance to the finals.
Klay wasn't initially known for his defense, but he developed that aspect of his game to complement his skill set. Unfortunately, his injury seemed to affect his shooting, likely due to a drop in confidence. However, with a fresh start on a new team, there’s a chance things could turn around for him. Klay has the experience and championship pedigree, which could be a significant asset for Dallas. What they need now is the confidence to believe they’re a championship-caliber team, and Klay’s presence could help instill that belief.
Yeah that injury really affects him and the way he played, I guess with that new challenge playing with a different team, not familiar system and teamates it seems to be a tough one but I believe Klay will be able to adopt and will sync himself for the team, he did that before and surely he'll be able to blend and work with his new squads chimistries.

Lebron: "Stop, stop, stop, don't do that."
It's getting a lot of reactions from different people and most are not good.
But we have not yet heard the other side of the story and it's either the clip was cut or the kid had been pestering him the whole time. Or, is he even a kid?
I won't judge yet and I won't even dare compare his actions with other NBA players because there's a chance we might be wrong if we jump to conclusions.
Just a clip and like you I won't give my opinion just by seeing that shared video without a clear knowledge about what really happened, better to wait for anyone who can provide more clearer information and not just basing with that video that are now surrounding social medias.
