Trade & Free Agency 2026/2027

If it’s so irritating and frustrating for you. Ignore it? I ignore plenty here.

I will bite though. Klay signed up for something different. He has earned status in the league. As a leader, Masai can have the approach you have. Suck it up and be a good soldier. Or he can try to do right by his veterans. There have been reports in the past of him really valuing what his players want - at least vets with status like Klay or Kyrie. If Klay wants to chase a ring and wants out I think it’s reasonable to assume that he would try to help make that happen. The benefit for the Mavs is that the young guys, particularly the ones that overlap with Klay’s role, would get more opportunity to show if they are worth investing in long term.

I don’t want Klay off the team. I just see the possibility and try to offer some reason.

How often does chasing a ring work out. 0? 

Doing the right thing by your vet might simply be showing him how he can compete for a ring here.
