This explains that it's only possible if Klay will accept a lower offer which I don't think would happen since there are other teams that are still willing to pursue him and could offer a better contract, probably not as big as his contract with the Warriors but closer to that.

That's why Klay is out because the salary that he'll receive is way out of his expectation and if there will be teams that will offer him lower salary.

I don't think that he'd go there. There could be some negotiations but it's always about the money why most of these players are moving from teams to teams.

Some are moving because of their option to move to another place that they truly like but mostly, money.

And that's why social media is going crazy and says that Klay is tricking the Warriors or even the next team that will get him. Sure, during his prime he was legendary and who wouldn't say that he didn't help the Warriors bring that 4 rings.

Also, it will be full circle, as his dad has played with the Lakers and it's going to be great to see him as Lakers and retire with them. But we will see what will be his salary. It's obvious that he will sign if the Lakers front office offer him good money.

And that's what the Spurs is lacking of, someone that can lead the team and with experience and age too. For sure that most of the players there are going to respect him. Compared to what with we've seen in the past that when Wemby's free and open and asking for the ball, he's not even given the pass.

At least the Spurs won't be pressured since they aren't currently a playoff team. With CP3 leading them and a good coach, the team should improve, as long as there's no problem with their chemistry. CP3 is probably the oldest on the roster, given that the Spurs are composed of young players. Now that they have an experienced and veteran PG, it's really exciting to see how they'll play next season.

Yes, there's not that much expectation during the 1st year of Wemby and now, this is a well planned addition by Coach Popo. I can't wait to see on how they're going to do with their first games since CP3 is going to manage it all and look after all of them inside the court.

PG's contract is huge, $212M for 4 years, that's $53 million per year, probably his biggest conract and he is blessed that after the serious injury he suffered he was able to come back and even improve his value.

Well, he deserve that. But it's known that all of the amounts that are projected and given to the players are always slashed with huge tax, agent's fee and other commissions that are taken from them. But yes, this is a big one and we can expect him to be with them for the next 4 years.

The Murray move seems a lot like the Hawks are throwing in the towel and rebuilding. I wonder if Trae Young is next… I think we’ll probably see Trae Young traded if you ask me, but I haven’t heard anything official on that front yet. It doesn’t make sense to keep him in a rebuild to me. He’s their next best trading piece.

If it will come from Trae and asked to get traded then Hawks might consider that if they're going to rebuild the team. How many times did we see Trae on an NBA all star? none, cmiiw? Maybe by doing such move for his own career, we might see him do better with other team.

Good for KCP, perhaps he is following Bruce Brown footsteps wherein he got a good contract after leaving the Nuggets the previous season or the season that they've won the ring.

Yeah, he's rumored to go with the Orlando Magic. Three year for $66M salary and player option at the end of it. Nice and decent deal.

This is good for Bam, he's been doing well for the Miami heat so he deserves that.

Yes, and he deserves it. It will be hard to find a big man as agile as him and he is growing. He may not be the best in defense but his offense is surely something to look forward to.
The Miami Heat doesn't lack good players, they are just with different injured players and I think Coach Spo should think about maximizing the usage of Duncan Robinson. He played really well when he was given good minutes.

They're always maximizing the usage of Bam so that's nice for them.

Quote from: danherbias07 on June 29, 2024, 04:43:20 AM

KCP seems to be targeted by the Dallas Mavericks. This will be phenomenal if they can acquire him. He has a higher defensive rate against guards and they badly need that considering how they were lacking in defense and it surfaced in the series against the Boston Celtics.
But I bet he will be pricy and the Mavs might let go some of their bench.

He's going to Orlando as per rumors.

CP3 to the Spurs.

I guess that I was wrong with what I've said that wherever the wave is going to bring him, that he'll go there without thinking a lot and it's just for his remaining days in the league. Now, that's some extra vet really needed by the Spurs for Wemby.

I wouldn't be surprise if the Spurs will reach the playoffs next season.
CP3 love to play in a team that he can lead, and this is obviously the best team for him especially with Wemby being a guy who can dominate the paint and CP3 lob's to him would be so easy.

Great news for today, hopefully CP3's season will improve with this new team where no superstar (except the young Wemby).

And that's what the Spurs is lacking of, someone that can lead the team and with experience and age too. For sure that most of the players there are going to respect him.

A pure point guard addition in their team is really great to have especially we know that Paul is capable to give a lot of passes to Wemby and for sure they could able to release the thru potential of that young man.

This is smart move by spurs and this is what they are lacking last season then now they filled that missing slot in their roster so provably I'm also not get surprised if Spurs would able to reach on playoffs on this roster upgrade they made. What do I hope that Paul will not encounter a scary injury since the guy is old and injury prone so that Spurs would became more exciting to watch on each games they played.

Doesn't move the needle. With embid taking the Lions share of the 5 minutes Andre will barely see the floor. Even worse if embid is down and Andre needs to spend a lot of time on the court the sixers are gonna be hurting. Not a fan of signing big men on the other side of 30. Not sure the details but if it's for next to nothing then worth a stab otherwise meh.

Donovan Mitchell expected to sign a 4-year $200 million plus deal today to stay with the Cavs. I guess he didn’t see much interest from other teams, or he decided to just take the bag and never compete for a championship. I don’t blame him. 200+ million dollars is a nice chunk of change.

That's good for him.

The Cavs did well on putting the tab on him with that contract. And despite that he can probably get some better contract on other team, $200M plus is a lot of money for him to say no.

Maybe one or two more seasons for him. Let's see if the move of Lebron of declining the player option for which sure is a pay cut could give him some space for a contract.

Dallas Mavericks sent Tim Hardaway Jr. and 3 second-round picks to the Detroit Pistons, while adding Quentin Grimes to their roster in return.

Smart move by the Dallas Mavericks. After all the role of THJ to the Mavs, he didn't even did it right and now he's going to a shitty team.

Well, no offense about the Detroit Pistons. They were once one of the best team but that era has been gone long time ago and that roster way back then was good compared to theirs now.

While I appreciate Cade Cunningham, he should be transferred to a better team and get some help from other stars.

No way Detroit let's cade go that would completely destroy theor rebuild. He is the piece that needs to take the next step. In terms of moves I think it was a good one for Dallas. Quentin is a solid backcourt defender and with Luka and kyrie getting all the pressure on offense q can just spot up and shoot 3s all day.

Cade can find himself in the playoffs or even in the finals but with a better team and that's what other teams are doing.

They're reforming their roster and actually investing to their players to get better ones. But if he's bind with a contract and he'll stay there, he'd always end up not seeing it.

Or, if he wants to be the face of his team, we can't do anything about that even if we want him to reach better place.

Even though he struggle last season I still see him good as starter. Its just Warrior just have a disappointing season and maybe that affect the confidence of people. But also I think Klay is perfect fit on Mavs since they need additional shooters, He can play together with Kyrie and Doncic. The only problem is the ball rotation since the ball always stays long in the hand of Doncic. But for sure when they have three shooters in team especially if they can acquire Klay for sure he adopt on the rotation and let them perform their assignment in court.

Lakers would be a bad destination for Klay knowing that they are only focus on Bron and for provably that he will totally experience a career decline especially if he will go on Lakers. So for better competition and betterment of his career Klay should go to Mavs since this is best team he could join .

I do get that his playoff series was terrible, but he is coming off an injury as we know and him being a bit slower with age and that injury it becomes understandable. He did managed to get a title after it, but he is getting older and more tired. He is not used as a spot up shooter neither, he is used as a primary defender of whoever is the star on the other team, so his old age and injury probably still bothering him and being so active on the defense all combine to mean that when they are on offense he is not that great.

However, would I not sign him? I would definitely sign him, unless they are getting someone better guaranteed, then they should keep him, plus they may get rid of Wiggins, so they could actually have some decent line up again.

Most are rumors for Klay Thompson's new team.

Here is the take of the Golden State Warriors management as why they are preparing for his exit.
Warriors reportedly preparing for Klay Thompson's exit, with Lakers, Clippers and Mavericks among suitors
https://sports.yahoo.com/warriors-reportedly-preparing-for-klay-thompsons-exit-with-lakers-clippers-and-mavericks-among-suitors-214609901.html

Quote

The Warriors have reportedly had close to zero communication over the past two weeks, when they had a window to exclusively negotiate his return. Both sides now believe Thompson's tenure in the Bay Area is over.

Also.

Quote

The Warriors are also reportedly open to facilitating a sign-and-trade.

I think this is the better option for him. Get a good contract with the Warriors and be traded. I bet many teams are trying to get him but they won't pay high enough for a 34-year-old dude whose performance has been affected by so many injuries.
He ain't Kevin Durant caliber although he has 4 championship rings and that's the reason why he might not get a contract that maybe he is expecting way too much.
The Lakers are said to offer him a midlevel salary and I doubt he will accept that especially if he has the pride of a champion.
Let's see how this news will end up.

He's been affected by those injuries and he's aging and we know NBA is a business even how good you are if you are not performing that much anymore then expect that the team will their move to trade you, there's no more pride and I guess if there's already rumors maybe his camp is also sorting their options and sooner they will provide updates regarding to what will be his fate on this league.

I follow you with your opinion even he got 4 rings but his caliber is not the same with KD, let see if which team he will play next.

Let's see how this news will end up.

Actually, Thompson is much easier to add to any roster since his role is just for catch and shoot. He is good as 6th man or a starter if he can regain his shooting form which is possible if he will have new motivation.

His gameplay is not that too much physical which means his injury is not a big issue. He just has a very bad year this season but he still got the heart of a champion which is valuable for a team that composed with young talents.

Mavs is the best team for him. Lakers is a trash team that has no real team work.

Rumors going around that LeBron is opting out of his contract and resigning for less money and a longer than expected contract. This will allow the Lakers to use their full MLE to sign a better player to fill out the team. Maybe this was the give back for them drafting Bronny. Sort of funny. They’re basically going to take Bronny’s pay out of LeBron’s check.

LeBron's trying to get that championship one last time, maybe. This could be another historic moment if he and his son win a championship together. LeBron probably doesn't need money now since he has made a lot from his max contracts before, so it's about time for him to cut his contract a bit to make way for more role players that could improve their team. Good luck to him and Bronny; hopefully, this plan will work out.

I don't think LeBron has much of a chance of becoming a champion. The Lakers were not very assertive this season, we will have a similar season again.
It will be a great pleasure just to watch LeBron and his son on the same team. Nothing like this has ever happened in history.
I really want to watch how LeBron will play with his son. He is still much more athletic than many young players and is good enough to survive the whole season, and his motivation will be very high when he steps on the same arena with his son

I believe that as long as LeBron is healthy, the team is still considered a championship contender. LeBron is not an ordinary player; once he is in the playoffs, he can be very dangerous. However, if there are no significant changes to the lineup, I think they'll end up with the same outcome as last season.

Bronny won't make much of a contribution to the team since he isn't really a superstar, so we can't expect him to have a significant impact. This offseason, it would be interesting to see if the Lakers can sign a free agent with championship experience. I think Klay Thompson is the only one on the list now, but it's uncertain if KT would be fine with a lower salary.
