The Klay to Dallas take is dead-on, but as a Warriors fan and Klay fan it’s MORE baffling that this is the time I’ve seen it made in the media. Klay was certifiably awful last year on defense. We all knew β€” not only Bay Area fans and media, but Klay himself (he said so publicly a number of times) β€” that the rest of his career should be spent coming off the bench for the Warriors.

The Bay Area watched in agony as the truth became undeniable: Klay couldn’t play alongside Steph, no matter how much extra defensive support the team provided.

Earth to the Mavs: Did you know that Klay had back-to-back achilles and ACL surgeries, has lost his lateral mobility, and is 35 years old? Paying him for 3 more years and telling him you love him won’t change that. Were you watching the Warriors get eliminated by Sacramento, where Klay went 0-10 and was hunted every play on defense until Kerr took him out?

Sadly, this feels like a set-up. Dallas cannot put Klay on the floor at the same time as Luka and Kyrie. It’ll be obvious by Xmas.

Why is anyone mentioning memphis? Lets see, they have the favorite for ROY in Edey, and GG jackson is on the cusp of breakout stardom, AND ja is back. The griz finished #2 for two consecutive seasons before morant got sidelined. Desmond Bane, JJ Jackson, and probably kennard. Marcus Smart is around for another year. And you got Vince Williams. And vince looks as close to breakout as GG Jackson. The team is sort of loaded and doesnt really have roster spots left. Could you build on Aldama? i suppose. But this team should be top three. IF ..IF IF IF morant stays on the court. Oh and they have a great young coach.
