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.
Good point. But Detroit doesn't look for 3's like most teams. They'll take open looks, but like you said, they don't shoot a good percentage as a team. Cunningham and Robinson are probably their best 3 pt shooters. Detroit plays in the paint and shoots middies. They lead the league in paint points.
