00:00K&C Masterpiece right here on 105 through the fan.
00:19Got a quick note for you, Mark Stein saying that the Mavericks will investigate the viability
00:25of trying to get Klay Thompson.
00:28We talked about that from a signing perspective.
00:30Look, if he wants to take a shockingly dramatic pay cut, sure, let's figure out a way to make
00:35it happen.
00:36That doesn't feel very likely.
00:37The way that I'm reading this, and I'm just throwing out my opinion here, is the Mavericks
00:42are deciding right now, do they want to offer the mid-level to Klay Thompson, or do they
00:45want to offer the mid-level to Derrick Jones Jr.?
00:48Am I...
00:49You think Klay takes the mid-level?
00:50I don't think he wants to.
00:52But he might have to, yeah.
00:54If the Mavericks are interested, I guess you could try to pull off a trade with Maxie
00:59Kleba being your main contract, but he's at 11 million, which is mid-level.
01:04You traded hard away away, so you could add...
01:07I guess there was the report of the Mavericks were listening, or at least throwing out the
01:13name Josh Green yesterday, which once next year starts, he's at, is he at 14 million
01:18next year?
01:19I believe something like that is.
01:20I mean, I'm not crazy about paying Klay Thompson 25 mil a year if you traded them Kleba and
01:26Josh Green for three years, 75 million on Klay Thompson.
01:31Yeah, I think I'm with you on that.
01:35Right now...
