While LAL bench scoring is total crap recently, I don't think a shooter is near the top of LAL priorities. First and foremost they need a true 3-D wing, someone who really takes pride in playing defense and is adequate on offense (think Herb Jones, Wiggins types). If those are not available, I doubt LA will spend any assets on moves around the edges. They have a key offseason coming, where they will likely have to replace LeBron and will have several paths to do it. Cap space, SnT, 3 FRP,... There would perhaps be a deal, if Mavs would be intrigued in Vincent and Kleber with no assets attached (add one more salary on Mavs side to make the salaries work).
I see Detroit as a team that could really use Klay and his shooting. They wanted to keep Beasley, which went wrong and they really miss such a guy. I think Klay could be great coming of the bench for Detroit.
