Suns currently have the best jerseys.
Thanks. PEACE
Good for GS if true, Klay never gonna being more than above average player.
Tyronn Lue is about to be an NBA head coach? What the fuck.
If the warriors get K love and Minny's pick they are officially Laker trade status in my eyes.
On the flip Rubio and Klay could be a really interesting back court
Rubio/Lee/Klay would definitely be at the very least make Minny really fun to watch.
It's a hilariously dumb trade. Klay won't even re up with them so you will be trading Love and Martin for David Lee...
I didn't say it was a good trade for Minny...just that they'd be fun to watch.
Hornets unis unveiled:
...I'm kinda meh on them at first glance. Wish they stuck with a modern version of the classic pinstripes look.
Yeah, Klay is much more than an average player. It will suck losing him if this happens. Worth it for Love, but the team will miss him.He's been our best defender all year. In the second half of the season, he developed a more consistent offense (drives to the rim and some post play). I blame Klay's inefficiencies on offense due to the fact that he has to guard the opposing team's best backcourt player every night.

"This stuff is hard. And you got to stay together, if you've got the guts. And you don't find the first door and run out of it"
Damn, people who are sure Lebron is staying must be sweatin a lil
Seeing Pat Riley you could tell the writing was on the wall. The big 3 are disbanding.
“I’ve never seen a better coach than Gregg Popovich. He does less than more. But having said that, when he gets less, he develops it into something really good. They have a great development program down there.
“For a coach coming into this league, if they don’t hire people who are really competent, to take these young kids who haven’t made it somewhere but have talent and build a system they can prosper in, but more importantly to get these kids shoot the ball. When they got Kawhi Leonard, he was not a shooter. It tells you the significance of what they’ve done internally to improve their team.”

So let's say we get Love/Martin. What would the lineup look like? Would we have Martin score off the bench or start?
You'd have to get a shooting guard /sf that can actually play defense when Igoudala is tired (or out due to injury.
I'm in the minority that thinks
1) Kevin Love ain't going to be a Warrior
2) The Warriors are a better team if they work on depth and extending Klay for 10 million per year instead of getting Kevin Love
Hell, I'd rather just have Shawn Livingston and a serviceable PF to come of the bench.
O'Neil and Steve Blake aren't coming back...so you've gotta replace them with someone regardless.
Henrich or Livingston, plus a big...off season done.
. Any gm in the league would take Love over Klay.
Uh...Minnesota too?
Again, why would MINNESOTA do the deal?
They are going to lose him anyway and there is this weird stigma fans have about not losing their star player for "nothing" by letting him walk. If you are going to blow it up anyway I guess I could see why Minny wouldn't just take the slim chance that they can somehow pull a Portland next season. I don't see what a max money Klay does for a team in rebuild mode though. He strikes me as more of a complementary piece on a good team than a guy a bad team builds around.
That's a good question. I guess we would start Martin if we got him? Don't really have any other dependable guards to start.So let's say we get Love/Martin. What would the lineup look like? Would we have Martin score off the bench or start?
Oh I agree, we should absolutely make that deal if it's available. Just feel the need to stick up for brother Klay. I think he's a lot better than people give him credit for.Like Ninja says i'd take that deal and run like hell with it if I was GSW.
So let's say we get Love/Martin. What would the lineup look like? Would we have Martin score off the bench or start?
Not gonna lie, that's almost how it sounded to me too. I think even him has no idea what Brons plans are. It felt like he was saying it to Bron w/o reallsaying it to him.
Jerry West on Pop
If Phil has no 11 rings as a coach, Pop would be my greatest coach in NBA history. I doubt Phil can even make it out of west with this roster Pop just coached to championship.
I really wish there was a way Charlotte could get Klay. He would be perfect for this team. A starting 5 of Kemba/Klay/MKG/McBob/Jefferson is a top 4 East team, easily.
le sigh.
3way your first round pick for Klay. GSW gets Love. Minny gets the pick and Lee.

You sound serious. Bobcats are not winning 50 games no time soon.
Also, Klay isn't coming to the East and avg 25ppg.
Why are people so enamored with Klay and his 14 per. It's not like he some go to scorer who creates his own shots slashes and get to the line. He a jump shooter who plays above average D.
If the Celtics don't get Love they will probably blow it up. Bulpett says they already have someone to trade Jeff Green to and Rondo would be next.
Dearth of 2guarda seems to inflate the value of the ones that are there. Same shit with Eric Gordon a few years back. I don't get the idea of trading your franchise player for a good but not elite guy you are going to have to max out in a year anyway. That's doesn't seem to be a smart play for a team that is rebuilding. What's your ceiling there? A 7th or 8th seed in a couple of years. A team like Minny should be bottoming out and trying to land a superstar via the draft. In this scenario the Celts package might be the best and shit, if they are that hard up for a 2guard sign Lance for less money than what Klay would get and he'd probably be nearly as effective.

I think the Wolves have been so bad at drafting and have missed the playoffs for like a decade so they are desperate and Saunders thinks Klay and Lee aren't a massive downgrade. Even if it isn't they aren't doing any damage in the West. Secondly if Klay leaves you did all that for David Lee.
lol we won 43 games this past season. What team, besides Miami, Indiana, and Chicago, would be clearly better than the Hornets with Klay?
Toronto? We swept them last year (4-0) without a real shooting threat
Brooklyn? Old and busted.
Washington? Decent, but Kemba/Klay/Big Al is better than Wall/Beal/Gortat
The Hornets at status quo are the 6th best team in the East at worst. Adding an impact scorer like Klay would easily vault us into a 4th seed and depending what happens with Indiana and Stepheson, could be top 3.
I'd rather have Lance (provably for way less money too) as a FA than give up assets for Klay. For a shit team like Minny that needs a rebuild, a ton of draft picks + Lance as a FA (if they really want a guard to pair with Rubio in the mean time) seems like a better option than a soon to be maxed out Klay and filler. The Boston offer isn't that great and they would he getting low value in return for one of the best players in the league, but it does seem like the best offer of the bunch
This is what happens when you hire and boring old retread as HC and give him full autonomy.

Gonna need to go like 20-10 vs the West in order to get 50 wins. To be a top 3-4 seed.
