Probably more than it feels like as we sit here and focus on how old he is or how he's not the player he used to be. He'd probably help quite a bit, and in a variety of ways.
It's hard to remember given his rocky season but Klay is probably the 2nd best perimeter shooter of all time.
Even in a down year he shot 39% from 3. In a reduced role, where a majority of his shots are spot up threes I don't see why he can't be a super version of Ray Allen when he was on the Heat.
Secondly, this is a very young team now all of a sudden. Klay has 6 finals appearances and 4 rings. That is a crap ton of experience and he brings a know how of how to win on the biggest stage.
14x All-Star, 12x all-NBA, 1x MVP, 1x Finals MVP, 1 NBA Championship: Dirk Nowitzki, the man, the myth, the legend.
