Still feel just as sad about the trade and how it went down and what could have been, but think I’ve moved towards feeling happy/optimistic for Luka and apathetic towards the Mavs (the organization, not the players…still love and support them).
Here is Klay’s dad talking about the situation in Dallas. While we may never know what truly happened (though I do think more info will start leaking now with the Mavs season being effectively over), I think this proves that Klay at least did not ask for Luka to be traded. Would not be surprised at all if Klay asks for a trade this summer
"He thought with Luka & Kyrie they could get to the finals. I told him when AD's coming, he still has a chance. Then he got hurt, Gafford & Lively got hurt. Klay is stuck in purgatory right now."

Of course he didn't. This was just a wild imagination from more or less one user. As wild as theories that Klay started to play better when Luka was out and especially when he was traded. Simple facts (statmuse):
- Klay with Luka: 14,9 ppg on 43,4 %, 12,3 FGA
- Klay without Luka: 13,6 ppg on 40,4 %, 12,1 FGA
