Klay thompson is 34...i just want people to understand that...he will be 35 next season...this isn't klay in 2019....giving him like 4 years 120 million is insane...more than 3 years 75 mill is too much
Why are you so cool with hating though? He's 34. Not 44. He's a legend who's specialty is shooting and he's gotten his legs under him this past season. Reggie Miller retired at 38.

His future has him making the playoffs and being an early exit AGAIN. The story of his career SMH He’s good enough to be a 3rd option for a championship team.
George is not going to Philly. Joel can't stay healthy enough to make it worth it for him. For that matter he might as well stay in LA. Better weather, and less judgemental fans.
Philly already said they are not interested in PG. Bro really killed his value saying he isn't playing for a chip on his podcast and now no one wants him.
@@About36Greekss Oh please. Klay constantly gets praised as one of the greatest shooters ever and then when he fails it's on Curry. Can you imagine if Steph went for 0-10 like Klay did against the Kings?
Klay Thompson and Paul George would fit perfectly in Dallas with Luka and Kyrie. Obviously they won’t get both but it would help them get back to the Finals to pick up one or the other.
Man they’re really calling the new Clippers billion dollar arena as the “toiler bowl”? Clippers can’t catch a break as franchise. They should have just left LA a long time ago
At this point , unless the player personal change , it would seem that at least one of the Warriors, Lakers, and Suns will not make the playoffs... and possibly two of them
I’d add the clippers to that as well. My guess would be suns have the best shot of getting to playoffs. I can’t count on another year of Lebron and Davis being healthy all season. Warriors Curry and Draymond are in decline. Clippers also prob ain’t staying healthy
@@Shortballa11Dont be Caruso has yet to play a full season the most games he played in was 71 last season and he is already 30 years old Giddey is only 21
@@Primetimes21 Caruso has played more than a full season when he won a championship. He is a top 10 defender. Games don’t matter when these players aren’t even in the same tier
It’s interesting to see how the Clippers move forward without the guidance of Jerry West hovering over it. Lawrence Frank got a lot of boost from the Jerry West rub. Without him, Clippers gonna clip again
This might surprise people, but as a C's fan, I'm hoping George goes to Philly. Then they'll be a "superteam," (if they can stay healthy. Big if, I know) and no one can whine about anything. Oh, am I supposed to be scared? I'm not.
B Windhorst “why didn’t the clippers go and match the max offer?” Well, that’s because the sixers are NOT giving this choker a 4 year max till he’s 38, which will leave them with just one MLE and 8 league min guys. It simply isn’t worth it.
PG13 has been the best player and closer for clippers. He should have been prioritized over Leonard. PG13 and Ballmer will agree eventually and sign the contract. He is not going anywhere. Harden, PG, Leanord, Russ they are not going anywhere considering clippers are entering new stadium. They need star players to start with a bang.
After explaining the Luxury tax and it's tiers, it sounds a lot like the League is basically penalizing any teams that go for it all. What kind of sporting contest is that? Let these teams go all out for a title without being severely punished, because what's really happening, is the teams that are just good, won't put forth the full effort because the penalties punish too much. No wonder sometimes the game just feels watered down.
Lakers wouldn't be able to sign him so Clippers would still hold all the leverage there. They could get all assets the Lakers have, assuming the Lakers even want him that bad.
This is why stats lie. If you watched Klay play he was hot or cold. If his 3 pt avg was 38% he had games shooting 20% and others at 60%. Momentum killer was huge too.
That is what I say about Steph, his ENTIRE CAREER. He will have three games at 30 percent...three games at 65 percent..but is NOT consistent. As a matter of fact that narrative fits the ENTIRE LEAGUE. Inconsistent and streaky.
JJ brings a media savvy that few other coaches can compare to. 342 Productions+Uninterrupted+LA Lakers will be a cash-cow for all businesses involved. Everything else will work out because he will communicate at a supremely high level, with EVERYone, and there will be buy-in basically across the board.
No way Sixers a contender with PG?? Clippers are not offering any player a max who is not a leader with championship experience. Period. You don’t get paid more because you are older. You get paid more because you produce. 5 years and all the PG KL experiment got the Clippers was a WCF appearance. A half a billion dollars have already been invested, players/ picks trades the whole 9. PG does not deserve a max but considering this is his first time being a FA , of course he’s leveraging for a max. 😅

PG is not worth 4 year 200mil (34 years old), hell no, let him sign with another team than. Only keep him for 3 years 120mil, that sounds about right for PG
With players like Doncic, Jokic, Irving, Wembanyama, Antetokounmpo, Gobert, Gilgeous-Alexander, Porzingis, Siakam, etc. How would an 11-game series between the USA vs. the rest of the world work out with NBA rules?
Not a Luka hater but it is patently obvious that he cannot really exist on a team where he does not have the ball most of the time and does not get to be primary scoring option . So I do think that it will get in the way . I am going to assume that you left off Embid because he has opted to play for the USA this year but since Irving has played for the USA in previous international tournaments then he also would not be eligible
A little TRUE STORY Soccer fairy tale. Lionel Scaloni was an assistent in Russia 2018 World Cup for Argentina. With NO EXPERIENCE as a head coach he took the job to everyone's surprise. Four years later he won the World Cup in Qatar 2022 with the last breath of Lio Messi.
Clippers need a breakup. This roster is hurt, unmotivated, and gonna be slaughtered by young west. PG is over. Too many injuries, not coming back better - he is a former all-star, a 6or7 man on Boston, but is not even at Al Horford level of O&D winning.
Philly shouldn’t want George. Dude is 34, signing him to a 4 year max is insane but someone is about to do it 😂. That would virtually guarantee that Embiid leaves after a year or two once the PG contract is one of the worst in the league. Last year literally proved that fit and depth is worth more than a 3rd star
Hmm, do I yell at a host about a concept I don't understand and HOPE he stops the next episode to explain it? Or do I google the concept myself and get an answer instantly? ...... well #2 doesn't let me feel entitled AND righteous about something, so who cares how practical it is.
Yes that in- season banner demonstrated they remained elite. Their being "elite:" is not the current reality but historical No one has accused their front office of being elite or even being good.. No one has accused the Buss children of being savvy or praised their reliance on the Rambis spouses. Then we have the fact that everyone agrees that they are behind at least 5 teams in terms of talent . And i am not a Laker hater but you need to be real. If this team and organization was located outside of Cali it would have little going for it ( AD and LBJ}
In all seriousness, did my Lakers hurt Tim Bontemps in any sort of way? Like did he always want to be in the Lakers Org and keeps getting rejected? Did Kobe or Magic laugh at his face or bully him? It seems personal for this clown anytime he talks Lakers 😂. Tim, Keep doing podcasts to your whopping 100 viewers
Too funny - look at the state of the organization and the team. I must have missed all the other Sports Media who have talked up the state of the Lakers. And such a promising short term future. But hey you got to hang that in-season banner which really softens getting eliminated in the first round

Not just Klay Thompson. But Chris Paul(39), Paul George (34), Harden (34). All these guys are getting up there in age and arent getting any better.
