Obviously, Klay Thompson has a connection w/ Lakers (father being broadcaster/former player Mychal Thompson) & grew up in LA, but I’d be shocked if he passed on signing w/ the Mavericks.
Who knows: Maybe he’s always wanted to rock a Lakers jersey.
Let it not be the Clippers… – 5:50 PM

The Mavs being in on Klay Thompson surprises me a bit. Derrick Jones Jr. was so important to their identity last year. You’d be incredible offensively with Klay in his place, but letting him go means fundamentally changing who you are as a team right after reaching the Finals. – 5:49 PM

Paul George opting out boosts already high likelihood he chooses between Clippers and Sixers. Clips have advantage – for now – per source.
This gives Klay Thompson leverage with Warriors, who dread the idea of Klay and CP3 walking without a star coming in. – 5:12 PM

Okay, here’s how Denver can sign Klay Thompson:
With 11 players on the roster, the Nuggets currently have about $170.39 million committed to 2024-25. The first luxury tax apron line is $178.65 million, so Denver has about $8.26 mil in space.
