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

[KillerLeft]

I hope your right regarding Klay starting. If it had been the crazy contract I feared, I was sure we would be trapped into starting/finishing him regardless of what worked. I still have concerns given that was the final straw with GS and stars get a ton of leeway in general. I have no question Klay would be valuable coming off the bench, and if I was confident Kidd is willing to go there if it clearly made sense I would have zero issues with this offseason.

I know this is a terrible comparison, and that Thompson is in a different tier completely, but they promised JaVale McGee he'd start, too. That lasted about four games, I think. 

I get what you're saying, but I don't think they're locked into anything that's not working, and I actually think there are ways to make him work as a starter. If there's one thing Dallas knows how to do, it's to have a "token" starter in their rotation. Seems like they do that a lot, including last season, even in the playoffs. 

And, I'm not AS convinced you are that the lineup you're concerned about won't work. I'm a little wary, but I got over it once I thought about it for a few days.
