Klay Thompson Torn ACL

[TimDunkem]

He just isn't a fit in this team and system.

What? This is exactly what Pop wants.

That remains to be seen. Pop made the best out of a bad situation when Load Management held the team hostage and took our leverage.

[spurraider21]

Why is a ing Bobcat fan talking ?! LMAO

he's a laker fan who for some reason has a charlotte persona

[testies]

We got ed by the Nuggets lmao. This group of losers may lose even to Portland and other trash teams

Pop literally asked DeMar not to take threes and just play how he always has.

Because at 30 years old, DeRozan is who he is and that's certainly not a three point shooter, unfortunately. Chip wouldn't be able to miracle his ass into a 3 point shooter no matter what.

I think Pop is going to try and do just that. I expect this team to play very much the same way next season, sadly.

All them Dubs fans gonna dust off them Lakers jerseys next year

[Capt Bringdown]

That was quick.
That guy suggests Klay's ACL injury is related to his earlier hamstring injury.

I bet Klay is regretting that fake foul he tried to draw against Green. A very costly play.

[timvp]

Kyle Kuzma's stock on the rise in my eyes, tbh.

I still doubt he gets traded but it's not out of the realm of possibility. Let's hope this offseason will be better than last offseason.

[timtonymanu]

Smart kid, Kuzma.

[John B]

Karma is a . What’s next Curry getting whack by a golf club?

[Capt Bringdown]

Same guy (who is a Doc) analyzing Klay's 1st injury (what a jackass)

[cjw]

So are they going to max out 2 injured players out for the whole year? Crazy

How is of fair to max out KD and not Klay? or Klay and not KD?

KD has a player option, so could rehab for $30mm next year. It would also mean the Warriors would have zero cap flexibility, so they’d also undoubtedly bring back Klay or try at least. He won’t take less than a max deal, though.

Klay’s injury is a lot less of a question mark than KD, and if the Warriors around and don’t offer him the max, every team with cap space will and he could be gone. Klay will also be able to play by the All Star break, give or take, and shouldn’t have the same long term impact to his level of play as KD.

If Klay wanted to come here, I’d do whatever it took to jettison Mills, Bertans and Demar to make the space.

I get the same vibe from Derozan like I did with RJ. They knew it was always an awkward fit and they would gladly trade him if they could. Plus Derozan just seems more miserable here compared to RJ's situation (which was just awkward fit, but no worries about his mental health like Derozan has to also deal with). I think they will trade him.

Telling it like it is

[Russ]

Kawhi got the last laugh, winning the final game on that same cursed floor.

[daslicer]

The league will be wide open next year. Haven't seen the league this wide open since when Jordan retired in '93.

[John B]

Kawhi got the last laugh, winning the final game on that same cursed floor.

And took down two of their players. Endgame.

[james evans]

We are. We’re bringing Matt Bonner out of retirement.

either that or signing Vince carter

Endgame.

ACL's usually take a year to heal. It's hard for me to imagine he comes back after 6-7 months.
