  15. Welp….cant fault him for taking the money.

    I wonder how much our offer was?

  16. he’s turning down his favorite team growing up, Lakers must’ve not been able to clear enough cap space (also leverage as always)

  17. This is less then what people were saying. I kept seeing 4 year 70-80 mill

  18. The longer shit gets dragged out the more likely someone isn’t coming to us. Same shit with Kawhi and Dan Hurley

    Rob Pelinka remains a shitty GM as usual. We’re currently not competing with the Celtics, Wolves, Sixers, Knicks, Mavs, and Thunder in a 7 game series. Had a miracle happen in 2022-2023 to somehow get to the WCF but we pissed it away. Windows been shut

  22. ngl I’m ok we didn’t do this, would’ve preferred him with the MLE and not sending assets to golden state

  23. Lakers won’t be making any moves and LeBron will sign to the max and we run it back with D Lo and continue to have shit defense.

  26. Sucks we didn’t get him for the MLE, but it’s good we didn’t trade for him. He would only be worth it if it was the MLE.

  30. Lolol this sub is delusional

    You guys wanted Klay for 3years 50m ?

    We couldn’t even afford that.

    Idiot fans

  31. Ya I don’t mind this at all. For the MLE I was stoked but clearing rui or Dlo and potentially draft capital for him was a sideways move at best

  32. Traded Tim Hardaway Jr to get Lightskin Tim Hardaway Jr 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

  34. Also from Woj:

    “Thompson had four-year offers for more money, but taking less was offset by the chance to win a fifth championship with the Mavs and difference in state taxes.”

    I’d California’s state income tax turns a lot of players off from signing with the lakers.

  35. Meh. Dude is on the decline and can’t defend. Doesn’t make lakers contenders

  36. Why is everyone in panic mode? Surely it was reported that Lakers weren’t the only ones going for Klay.

    Let’s see if any trade or signings manifest.

    I already think our upside is limited. Not necessarily expecting a championship roster on paper tbh

  38. Lebron being satisfied with his legacy and just wanting to go to LA saved Palinkas incompetent ass so much.

    Missing out on Klay is one thing but how can you get fucking no one for years? Our title was years ago and this dude hasn’t been able to secure a single valuable FA since.

    Glad we can get rid of guys like Caruso and KCP though

  39. Klay already has 4 rings, he secured the most money possible on his market. You can’t blame the guy. He ain’t worth more than the MLE we dodged a bullet here.

    Give Lebron is max and swing a trade for a C

  40. Not surprised the guy who every time he gets his feelings hurt flashes 4 fingers wants to be a bus rider on a team who recently went to the Finals

    This is all about Klay’s ego, I knew he’d sign with the Mavs. We don’t need any other washed up star with a huge ego here

  43. Honestly for his role it’s a no brainer to want him but I’m glad our team didn’t get older. We need more legs and Klay’s at the end of his career in terms of athleticism.

  44. Am I the only one who didn’t get the appeal of a guy who is a shell of of his former self post injuries and well into his 30’s?

  45. WE DODGED A MAJOR BULLET. THERE IS A REASON GSW IS LETTING HIM WALK. IF ANYONE WATCHED A HANDFUL OF WARRIORS GAMES, YOU KNOW WHAT IM TALKING ABOUT. WE DODGED A BULLET GENTLEMEN
