No. He traded Poole because he really needed to but Klay is a fixture. At least for this year anyway

Yeah Klay is a fixture but the end of the big three is coming up. I honestly think that was a reason behind Bob meyers leaving. He doesn't want to be the one who dismantles the big three but lacob maybe wants to get younger

We need some size help, but we got the rookie PF, so we should be alright. Maybe, another wing ? But, we got the rookie SG.

Would you guys flip Klay with kuminga for something?

or would Klay he untouchable for at least this year?

Good question. He's here for at least the next season. But, who knows, does Dunleavy have the guts to breakup the Splash Brothers? Klay had a good regular season, he just lost it in the playoffs. I'd extend him two years and add to this years contract. That's just me.

This is his final year. I'm sure the dubs have had preliminary talks with him about his next extension, if Klay is asking for $$$$, then it puts the FO in a tight spot

Know one this year or next is going to give him a max contract. He's just going to have to realize, he can retire here and just resign for another 3 years. He's still got game, he just stunk in the playoffs.

Nothing that big happens without the blessing of Lacob. He will be the guy who decides if Klay and/or Dray will stay or go

Yep, and I'd extend him a max three years. I should be us, Nuggets, Suns, Kings and Lakers, fighting to see who comes out of the Western Conference.

naw

I hope we keep Kuminga and Moody. Can't wait to see what big they sign

Here are some FA big's. I'd love, Lopez or Kuzma.

Brook Lopez MIL • C • #11
Lopez is 35 and had back surgery less than 18 months ago, which is insane because he just finished second in Defensive Player of the Year voting and is coming off perhaps the best all-around season of his career. Any team signing him will be wary about slippage, but there is not a long list of elite rim protectors who can also shoot 3s and post up, which is why the Rockets, who intend to improve this summer, are, according to ESPN, a threat to sign him. His skill set remains extremely important in Milwaukee, unless the plan is to turn Giannis Antetokounmpo into a full-time center.

Kyle Kuzma WAS • PF • #33
Like Kristaps Porzingis, this versatile forward turns 28 this summer and was widely expected to be part of Washington's plans before its new front office, led by Michael Winger, came into the picture. When the previous regime dumped Rui Hachimura in January, it signaled that it intended to re-sign Kuzma, who has played the best basketball of his career with the Wizards. They could still do that, provided that the price is right, but he'll have suitors if they decide to go a different route. In D.C., Kuzma has shown the league that he can defend the way he did late in his Lakers tenure while taking on much more offensive responsibility.

Andre Drummond CHI • C • #3
Drummond, who turns 30 in August, averaged a career-low 12.7 minutes backing up Nikola Vucevic in 2022-23, but his per-possession numbers have been pretty steady. He has a $3.4 million player option, and it's not obvious whether or not he should pick it up. If nobody's offering him more than the minimum, then opting out would cost him money. It is conceivable, though, that a rebounding-starved team could offer him a raise.

Mo Bamba LAL • C • #12
The Lakers barely used Bamba after acquiring him at the deadline, but his combination of rim protection and a decent 3-point shot is not easy to find. The 25-year-old center's $10.3 million 2023-24 salary will be guaranteed on June 29; whether he's traded or waived or both before then, he's an intriguing second-draft candidate.

Jock Landale PHO • C • #11
Landale's season with the Suns went way better than his season with the Spurs, and his offensive rebounding in the second round of the playoffs is fresh on executives' minds. Now he might be able to parlay all that hustle against the Nuggets into a meaningful raise, particularly because, in a weird way, Phoenix's lack of financial flexibility means it is more motivated to pay him. By making the Beal trade, the franchise effectively gave the new CBA's roster-building restrictions a giant middle finger -- they are now expected to re-sign virtually all of their free agents, per ESPN, and, if the Suns decide they need mid-sized contracts for future trades, they could offer Landale, among others, higher salaries than they'd get otherwise. (You might remember Miami signing Meyers Leonard to a two-year, $20 million-ish deal with a fully non-guaranteed second year for a similar reason in 2020.)
