This could literally be the move that kills the Mavs. We need to think about a long-term Kyrie replacement or at least a player like Hunter whose value we can rehab and re-trade in 18 months. Klay is dead money the moment he signs and the best case is that he does not blow out another knee or just declines cause he is old.
Please no.
The argument "Klay could suffer a career ending injury, therefore we should not do it" is lazy.
You can say that about any top 3 player for any team on a big contract and the logic applies.
Klay is older no doubt. But his skill set is desperately needed. He'd have a reduced role compared to gsw and he just had 2 healthy seasons after 2 freak injuries
