Trade & FA 2024-25:

[KillerLeft]

Nobody expects 2015 Klay. That Klay would cost 50 million a year right now. We are looking at roughly 20 million per season for one of the best shooters of all time. He doesn't have to be prime Klay for this to work. He just needs to be a deadly catch and shoot player for us.

Agreed.

They're basically doing with Klay at around $20 mil what I was desperately hoping they could do with Grant at around $30 mil. That extra 10ish made it an extreme long shot, and then you have to assume that Portland would want more of a trade cost toll - draft capital, O-Max, Hardy, whatever - whereas GS is probably quite motivated to actually HELP Warriors legend Klay Thompson get to where he has a chance to end his career with dignity. 

I'll say again: if the choices are Grimes and DJJ (already great) or Grimes, DJJ and Klay Thompson, why on Earth would anyone pick the first option? The Adelsons are going to PAY. Cuban doesn't own the team anymore.
