FA: Klay Thompson Comes to Dallas| 3yrs/50mil

[audiosway]

I’m with Jason Timpf. Three point range would be nice, but I’m hoping the plan is for him to develop that dribble-handoff/decision making game. Those usually end in rim rolls (his specialty), and it’s kind of the next evolutionary step from his surprising showing as a decision maker out of the short roll. 

Imagine a 7’2” Draymond Green.

Remember we were talking during the Finals that I didn't know that 5 out would work. Well you were definitely right that it does. If you have the right roster. I started realizing you were right at the end of the series. That's why I was saying Luka and Kai needed to work with Steph on being able to move more. Now with Klay in there they will be able to adopt some of that. 

I don't think Dallas will run a full 5 out. However, I do think that it will start to look similar. I think we are absolutely going to see Lively become a 7'2" Dray. He has the passing to do it. He is showing that he can shoot enough outside to keep it respectable.

Another thing I think Klay will help Kai and Luka with is how to play defense without expending so much energy. Klay and Grimes are both experts of the down swipe. Klay picks up a ton of steals that way. Dirk was a master of it. Simple little hand movements that make it so that you aren't working so hard on defense. That's what made Klay an elite 2 way player. He taught stuff to Steph that helped him be a respectable defender.

Great video though. Still watching it.
