Lakers Miss On Klay Thompson, What Do They Do Now?
It looks as though Klay Thompson is choosing the Mavs over the Lakers. What does LA do now?

This organization is a joke, a laughing stock in the NBA! Take it from a long time Lakers fan since the 80's
JERMY GRANT MAKES LAKERS OUTRIGHT CONTENDERS–PERIOD. HE IS THE PERFECT FIT.
Why blame the office every year y'all like what the office do, when it don't work y'all throw Rob under the bus but not clutch!!!!!!? Wanted kuz out now y'all crying to bring him back………
We need a big anyway. Clay does not win us a chip.
Y'all want a good big, even though LeBron can no longer play the 3, make it make sense!!!!
Mavs are legit title contenders, our Lakers are sadly a joke, the Buss children have been poor custodians of their father's legacy and as a GM Pelinka leaves a lot to be desired and I think other GMs still hate him for all his time as a Players Agent, the Covid championship season was a happy accident, if a full regular season had been played then highly possible LeBron or AD or both go down at some point, that they stayed healthy most of this last season was amazing and is highly improbable to happen again, the shame is it was wasted on a moron coach…
The lakers are to slow they people are going to wait on them everyone praises rob but he’s trash the only thing rob could handle was west brick.
Goga gone now too
Man take rob out the front office put em in the back office tell his ass hop in that trash can so we can take out the trash.. wasting Lebron last few years away
I think the lakers should focus on 1st, a real center. And if we can trade for walker kesler, it's gonna be great. 22 years old rim protector who can bang in the post and is quick with his mobility. He can also shoot from the mid range and the three. He could be our center of the future. 2nd, is a guard who's steady. Why not tyus jones. He can score from all areas and is a smooth operator as a point guard. Not turn over prone. Not very good as a defender but just as bad or as good as dlo in defense. 3rd, get demar de rosan in the free agency. And that's it we're ready to go. Note: our last season's roster, i believe, is just 2 or 3 players away from contention. If i remember it right, we're leading from 1st up to middle of 3rd qtr mist notably during our battles with denver. I thing that's because we're loosing gas. We need extra push because ad and lbj by that time is so consumed already. A steady guard who can score specially in the arc, and a real center who can help ad specially in rebounding and defending the paint. A new coaching philosophy could change the way a team plays.
Using all grades between A+ through C- without repeating. Rate these trade targets.
Trae Young $43,031,940 Zach Lavine $43,031,940 Darius Garland $36,725,670 Donovan Mitchell $35,410,310 Jerami Grant $29,793,104 Anfernee Simons $25,892,857 Marcus Smart $19,960,285 Lauri Markkanen $18,044,544 Wendell Carter $11,950,000
Mavs got him cuz lakers were targeting him…i ddint want to watch slow washed klay get cooked all day, thank god
Let's be real, Rob only got his job because he is the former agent of Kobe Bryant
Demar to Lakers 💜💛
Nothing will happen with Rob. He is a Kobe guy and Jeanie loved Kobe… she won’t fire him
GET GRANTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT
If we really want to win we should go guns all out for the right names. This is not a good look
There isn't a back up plan. Lol
We have Knecht. A center is what we really need.
Rob is a weak AF GM. Jeannie should fire him and put Bob Myers. But she's cheap. Also, the truth is, that a lot of players are hesitant to jump into the Bron/Bronny/JJ clown show. Klay did the right move, he is going into a contender and saving money in taxes. Can't blame the guy.
I thought Klay would come here because we always get more name than game players at end of their careers and we are doing the year of fathers and sons so ergo it felt right … I’m glad he isn’t coming but yet feel let down because it seemed that he would
No, that was plan B lol smh
Get demar his okey
Look on the bright side, the Clippers are screwed!
Lakers fans who wanted to trade for Markkanen. Utah Jazz want five first round picks and two pick swaps. Lakers can only offer two 1st and that's it.
What if lebron went to Philly Milwaukee Dallas or suns😂
Klay Thompson is an older version of DLO. A 3 point inconsistent shooter who if their shots aren’t falling they are defensive liabilities. I guess nobody Remembers the in season tournament games that GSW played right? Klay scored ZERO points 0/10 FG 0/6 3pts. Absolutely choked in that game. That’s concerning for putting all your hopes and dreams into a player who is injury prone and will be 38 years old when their contract expires. Yes Rob and Jeanie need to do something but for me Thompson wasn’t it! My opinion may not be yours. Plus glad they didn’t send trade pieces to the Warriors like Klay and his agent is trying to get Dallas to do. Tried of the GSW vs Lakers fake rivalry anyway.
Trevor again you missed the point LeBron James who clearly is running the team. Said he was willing to take a pay cut. He even admitted that he picked up the phone and spoke to Klay thompson. And he couldn't sell Klay Thompson to play for the Lakers. Why you want to know why. The reason is is that Klay Thompson is smart enough to know he doesn't want to join the Lakers circus
“Patience” right Trevor?
We really going in the season with the same team.
Trevor you have been making excuses for the organization and stop telling the people to be patient when the players are coming off the board…. Forget about Lebron taking a pay cut how about we find a way to trade that sorry ass Gabe Vincent that would open the MLE a long with another small move… Trevor l, you aren’t anymore in tune with the Lakers than an average Laker fan you going by the same alerts as us, we all know what we have to do not just you dude so stop getting overwhelmed by the fanbase’s response when at the end you will feel exactly how we do at the end we aren’t dumb we see what’s happening… Go get Demar Derozen and stop making excuses
I'm happy running it back next year. I still like the Lakers team and adding Knecht means the roster has actually improved.
This obsession with adding a 4th center to the team remains silly.
Klay is washed up but 3yrs 50mil isn’t a bad gamble. Personally I ain’t sad missing out on him. He is a hot headed biatch when things aren’t going his way.
Klay Thompson declined 4 years 80 million for 3 years 50 million for mavericks.. fu#ck klay Thompson. He can take his cold streaks and his 0-10 to dallas
