    Must mean Jones is gone though.

    I liked him but not at that price for our roster.

    Yeah they still have a trade exemption to sign and trade for Klay. Wonder if DJJ is available for us... didn't he just sign with Klutch?

    Yeah, would not be too excited about DJJ for the MLE. I’d be wary of signing a “3&D” roleplayer who only just recently developed the “3” part of his game during a contract year

    Seems like it’s Klay or bust for the MLE, and that’s likely going to be a bust because Dallas will outbid us on the MLE

    I would have been on board with a S&T of DLo for Klay if we still used the MLE on someone else, but not sure who else out there would make sense as a MLE target.

    And if we’re not taking advantage of the MLE as well, the scenario of our only big move being a S&T sending out DLo for Klay would be a downgrade IMO

    Might be time to try to dump a few of Reddish, Hayes, Wood, JHS to clear up some roster spots. Re-sign Prince with non bird rights, re-sign Dinwiddie with TPMLE, have Lebron take a small paycut if necessary to fit that into the second apron, and then patiently play the trade market

    Bron is doing everything he can, whether you want Klay or not.

    LeBron is a dumass. This is going to be another wasted season if our big (in terms of roster construction) get is Klay.

    Rather have Jones then Klay if money is in the same ballpark tbh.

    I mean you do realize the alternative is probably NO big free agent get, right?

    It’s plausible that the two scenarios in front of us are pretty much “run it back + explore trades” or “run it back + Klay + explore trades”

    Really interested to see Rob’s plan, or lack of, in terms of roster building. I don’t see Klay signing with us so I wonder where we are going to turn to at that point.

    Call me crazy, but I feel like we'll be feeling good in the coming days. Gut feeling.

    To me, it’s the equivalent of having it all, the rest is just gravy

    The Reddit guy is saying Dallas is offering Klay 4/70. If that's the case, what he said earlier might have some validity for trying to salary dump Russell or other player(s). That's 17.5 million a year.

    I have to see how this plays out. It's interesting. If we fail with recruiting Klay, I'm interested to see how we pivot.
