ClutchPoints: “I’m happy as hell he gone. The reason I’m happy he’s gone is because he wasn’t happy no more. As a brother, I only want what’s best for you, not what’s best for me, not what’s best for this team.” Draymond Green on Klay Thompson going to the Mavs 👀 pic.twitter.com/wwNORTZ6qm

More on this storyline
Recently, Green took to the Club 520 podcast to discuss how long he believes he has left in the NBA. “I’m on the wrong side of my down slide, like I’m headed into year 13,” said Green, via Club 520 on YouTube. “I probably got two more. And so it’s important to start building for the next thing, but for some of these guys they be in year three still trying to figure it out with the podcast. Like I love that you’re doing it, I love that you found something that you want to do, but you in year three and ain’t done s–t nobody really want to hear from you, you know what I’m saying.” -via Clutch Points / July 25, 2024

Brandin Podziemski on Klay Thompson: “Getting a call from him a couple of days ago, and him telling me I’ll always have a brother in him for life is pretty cool. We can’t wait to go against him and compete against him when we play Dallas.” -via NBC Sports Bay Area / July 20, 2024
“It meant a lot,” Brandin Podziemski told Chris Haynes of Klay Thompson’s mentorship during the 2023-24 NBA season. “It’s something you can’t just go on Google or go on YouTube and search up when you get advice from someone like that. And so for me, just appreciating his presence, appreciating everything he shared with me from an on-court and off-court perspective.” -via NBC Sports Bay Area / July 20, 2024
The Lakers’ inactivity has not been due to a lack of trying. They struck out with Klay Thompson, were unable to land other impact free agents like Jonas Valančiūnas and DeMar DeRozan, and have failed thus far to find common ground in trade talks with Portland, Brooklyn, Utah, Toronto and Orlando. Now, according to league and team sources, the Lakers are expected to remain patient in their quest to improve their roster. -via New York Times / July 17, 2024
