2 retrds talking, if luka is not on not on the mavs, u will not get ky or klay, without the possible best nba player on the mavs klay will be a lakers by now. Luka probably dont have great relationship with us players, but the fact that luka is a superstar is what makes player like kai or klay join. Wake up npc

Josh’s Mike is still cancer, but glad to see you guys back.

Great content as always. Thank you !!!

9:24 I love JET but he lost the privilege when he said KG was the best teammate of his career. Sorta joking.

I think next year will be the first year that Luka’s three attempts per game goes down. Having the spacing to make more use of his drives and the way other teams can’t leave shooters leaves the PNR crazy open all season to a level we’ve never seen.

Great move but they didn't get another shot creater

Maxi, Powell & all the picks for Markannen and we are set

Remember the win loss stats of when THJ made threes vs when he didn’t. Now substitute him with one of the best shooters ever. I’m excited for next season. Go mavs

Let’s go MAVS!!! 🔥

Kirk’s going to miss dumb Josh Green plays followed up by very good Josh Green plays that make no sense 🤣

Klay gunna shoot over 40% from three again playing w luka

One more thing. First thing that went through my mind when this happened…Klay won’t hesitate to tell Luka to STFU when it’s needed 🤫🏀3️⃣

None of this would stand a chance of happening 2 years ago. Kind of incredible, still processing!

Naji for DJJ Grimes for Green Klay for THJ Still have the FRPs I think that's a successful off-season.

Klay is 6’7 and his knees are bad. He won’t be meeting anyone at the rim defensively. The reason he isn’t in death lineup for us is cause he’s not the guy he was 6 years ago. That’s why he’s on the Mavs instead of staying with the Warriors. Kyrie, Luka, Naji, PJ, Lively feels like it should be our best lineup.

very bad move

Klay pretty famously is not big on the dribbling Kirk lol. Naji is the guy who has potential to put the ball on the deck and attack the hoop. I’m just worried about how Klay will handle things when he takes a seat in the playoffs cause we go with more defense. From an attitude standpoint he hasn’t exactly aged gracefully.

Klay played 30 minutes last year. He will be around 28 this year I think.

In the final six games, ramping up for the play-in tournament, Klay hits 29-63 on threes (46%) and all 13 of his free throws while hitting 24-40 of his twos. He was playing great offensively and the Warriors went 4-2 with a two point loss to Dallas and a five point loss to New Orleans. He then proceeded to go 0-10 in the most important game of the season…..and he has done this before in big, high pressure, elimination games. You can be a great shooter and not a great clutch performer in the playoffs. He was 4-19 in the elimination game against Sacramento in 2023 and 3-19 in the elimination game against the lakers. In the closeout game vs. Boston in 2021 he was 5-20. He has proven to be a guy who’s both great and Terrible. With Dallas his value is in floor spreading, not always in shot taking. He won’t have the pressure of golden state. The Mavs will learn early not trust him with the game on the line. We need him to draw coverage with his reputation. Hopefully very tight coverage. No more moving around a lot. He will be the leagues most expensive decoy and “championship experience” player. He shouldn’t and probably won’t be on the court at the end of games. You will need stops and baskets and Luka-Kyrie-Lively-PJ and our best defensive stopper will be on the court when it counts and the game is close, Either Exum, grimes or Naji. Whoever is playing the best at the time and the best matchup. Maybe OMax at some point this year because of all his length and energy. This won’t sit well with Klay. By February it will likely time to cut bait and move him and others for a player WHO CAN HELP US.

I guess I'm one of the only ones down on this move....I just don't think Klay has much left in the tank. Mediocre defense and streaky shooting. Mavs can't afford a guy shooting 0-10 in the playoffs, we traded away Tim Hardaway Jr who was that guy with insane confidence even when missing like 30 shots in a row. They didn't give up much for him, but I still think they overpaid. He needs to come off the bench so Marshall can fill the DJ Jr role. But I hope they prove us all wrong. I think this could become the Chandler Parsons or Luol Deng contract especially in year 3. However it is impressive that Mavs were even on the radar of a top free agent. The bet is that Luka makes Klay better...we will see. I wish they had traded for a younger guy with more athleticism and upside.

He’s been bad in the clutch in the playoffs since the title run. Stop comparing to Tim. Compare him to Green. That’s who we lost in the trade and that’s who’s minutes he would have had in game 5 of the finals.

Well Josh thought it made for sense to have Kyrie or Luka take the shot more often than Klay did……and Josh made the right call most of the time until the finals. It was a huge mistake and everyone will know it by May.

TeamKlayCaptian eating captncrunch on a podcast! 😂

miles bridges please

lol kidds starters lol luka, kyrie, Klay, maxi, Dwight. lol yall know the young players will never see the court, when giving a choice kidd will always go with old and broken over young and athletic every single time

Thanks for the pod. I’m pumped for Klay

Did TeamKlay just go on a podcast in the middle of a meal? If there's ever a podcast naughty list, eating while talking through a mic, should be top of the list. Welcome Klay Thompson. I don't know if he is on a steep decline, or will fit perfectly with Luka, but the Mavs convincing players of his stature, bodes well for the future and the changing perception of the Mavericks around the league.

In his first season after the injury, Klay played 30 minutes per game for the #1 defense in the league and eventual champions. He might not be prime Klay on defense, but let’s not act like he’s gonna be a straight liability.

Dallas is finally getting their seat at the table

We sign Taurean Prince with the rest of the MLE I think we're set.

Get 🎉

I needed this episode. Have a lot going on right now and this keeps my mind off of things

Dude in the dark camera is completely not trustworthy. Dallas made Dorion FS a shooter. PH has had an unorthodox shot. It’s hard for people of that size to develop a consistent shot because they grow so much from the early age of learning to shoot and how their body finishes.

Whoever this guy is commenting from the dark…Dude wake up! Celtics have the prototypical team for modern NBA. The Knicks and 76ers are trying to replicate and close. I am a Mavs fan. 3 and D is legit. Dallas needs a player like Klay Thompson but as long as we keep adding on ball defense with size and shooting. We will contend. Klay makes Dallas a champion contender in the next 2-3 years.

Green’s hands have nothing to do with his finishing around the rim this season. Last season, he was very good around the rim. I think for a solid 1-2 months, he was shooting like 70% in the paint, and there was a period as well where he had the most points in the restricted area behind just Kyrie and Luka. The difference though, is he stopped doing some of his post moves. He used a fade away last year, for example, that worked really well for him. For some reason, he deviated from things that worked for him.

This Klay talk is growing on me as long as he’s locked in and can adjust to changing teams / states and not just trying to get paid 1 last time. Mavs offense would dry up at times this year because we had to solely rely on Luka / Kyrie, with Klay (and potentially Marshal) it addresses our 3point shooting woe and spacing. I would be fine with taking a bit of a hit on defense if we could gain it back with offense tbh.

Imagine we could get klay and mpj as well!! 2 actual shooters luka and ky can pass too!

Josh have you tried turning ur mic 180 degrees? You may be talking to the back of the mic rather than the front. mics sometimes have directionality and u may be talking to wrong end of it.

The 15 day rule doesn’t seem legit seeing as DJJ signed for the Clippers

Dam josh got superchats and didn't read a single one. Ouch

I honestly think OMax will be a better version of DJJ. Go get Klay Thompson if he wants to be here and the cost isn't absurd

37:40 Monty also had some of the most disgusting rotations I have ever seen 🤣

I can’t get on the rose-colored glasses THJ journey. I never liked the extension (just to whiff on Brunson), and when he sat, we went the furthest in the playoffs (now twice).

THJ is a regular season player Olay Thompson to they don’t show up in playoffs when it matters!

Klay Thompson will get REALLY OVERPAID shortly so forget that crap. If they lose DJJ we will be able to replace him. Let’s not make him into an all defensive team guy. I like him and I think they get him back for something reasonable. We love him more than most teams. On ball defenders with size are rare but gettable. We lost Brunson then two years later we were in the finals. KP didn’t work out then we went to the conference finals. Grimes actually might be the answer. We will know in only four months.

kirk the only thing that's ever been the thing about c. wood is he is way better than maxi and Dwight but yall kill c. wood but never even asked Dwight or maxi to get better at anything lol

just stick to this and you cannot go wrong, no over 30, overrated, overpaid, injury riddled, washed up has been, no body under 6-8 or over 28, as long as stick to this everything is great, its when you break this is when the team gets in trouble.

I saw this comment on Twitter and it’s perfect. Klay Thompson is the Michael Jordan of Tim hardaways. He would fit perfectly in Dallas.
