YouTube what is going on Lakers family in today’s video we got some NBA news involving the Los Angeles Lakers so on Friday sham sha OFA athletic and stadiums did appear on the pat mcaf show and they reported that the Los Angeles Lakers could have interest or be among

The several teams that have interest in four time NBA champion shooting guard Klay Thompson from the Golden State Warriors over the offseason so he’ll be one of the most notable free agents available this summer and Klay Thompson is a five-time NBA Allstar he’s going to be Hall of Famer he spent his entire

11-year career playing for the Golden State war is his 10 years so he’s on an expiring contract worth about $ 43.2 million so there’s a lot of questions with Klay Thompson’s future and the Golden State Wars because he’s due for a new contract extension right and are they willing to

Extend him could this be his last year playing for the Warriors and will he go to a different team right so what is he asking like how much money does he want and are the gold State Warriors willing to pay him the money that he wants I just don’t see that happening unless

They could work out a deal where he doesn’t have to get paid too much money but it could be a fair deal right so we’ll see what happens with that but I will say you know sham shaia of athletic and stadiums uh did quote this right he

Said from everything I expect him to test the marketplace I would expect both Florida teams the Miami Heat and Orlando Magic I’m just going to assume that and then he says I would expect both La teams so I would assume would be the Lakers and the Clippers I would expect

Potentially a couple of East Coast teams to have interest in acquiring Klay Thompson over the offseason freeny as of right now unless there’s a miracle extension so he’s going to test the marketplace and I think the gold State Warriors have understood going into the year after they did not extend them to

That Contra extension right so so his future up in the air is just for the simple fact that he’s going to be going into frency so Pat mfy said I think the lack of an extension for Klay Thompson has been an issue and his free agency is

Looming so he was amazing last night against Utah Jazz and he’s shown his ability that he could still help a team right now I will say he did explode coming off the bench playing that six-man role he did score 35 points six rebounds and two assists while shooting

13 out of 22 from the field and seven out of 13 from three so he only missed six threes from the three-point range and he only played 28 minutes of game action which is very huge coming off the bench so he got the minutes he got the

Opportunity now I will say Klay Thompson has played 50 games for the Golden State Warriors this season playing close to 30.6 minutes T night and he’s having a down year right’s struggling he’s averaging near 17.3 points per game which is still very good especially on a down year

But last year for the Warriors he averaged near 21.9 points per game so his points per game are going down right now and he’s shooting 42.1% from the field 3.5 rebounds 2.2 assists 0.5 blocks 0.6 deals and shooting 37. 3% from three which is very good on 8.7

Attempts per game so most of his shots are coming from the three-point line right and you know what’s crazy this is his worst three-point percentage in his career which is still very good because 37.3 % is very good League average is 35% and not most guys can shoot that in

The league right if we talking about like a Stephen Curry or Klay Thompson you get what I’m trying to say but I will say last season he shot around 41.2% from three on the 2022 23 NB season on 10.6 attempts per game and then the 2021-22 season shot around

38.5% from three 2018 2019 he shot 40.2% and then 2017 2018 he shot 44% 2016 2017 he shot 41.4% 2015 2016 he shot 42.5% from three 2014 2015 season he shot 43.9% and then 2013 2014 he shot 41.7% from 3 2012 2013 season he shot 40.1% from three and then his rookie season

201122 on Golden State Warriors he shot 41.1 I mean 41.4% from three my apology not 1% but you get what I’m trying to say so his three-point percentage has been you know nearly like over 40% which is very good you can’t say about that like other players throughout the league

Right which is incredible and check this out he’s shooting a ker high from the free throw line 91.8% from the free throw line which is very good and since 2015 Klay Thompson has helped lead the Golden State Warriors to four NBA championship ship and six finals appearances so for the Lakers they are

Currently the nth seat of Western Conference for 30 and 26 that’s our record we’re four games over 556 games and we’re 73 in the lasting games we’re currently on a three- game winning streak and then for the Golden State Warriors they’ve been like one of the hottest teams lately because all season

Long they’ve been struggling right so they are 8 and2 in their last 10 games but they’re the 10 seed in the Western Conference so their game behind the losant Lakers and their record is 27 and 26 so they’re one game over 500 so Klay Thompson he’s not the same player that

He used to be right he’s 34 years of age he’s getting older he’s not getting any younger he’s dealt with you know ACL injuries and kill’s injuries so that affected his career lately and he missed a few games you know a lot of games

Right not a few but a lot of games you know few years ago right so he grew up a doar Lakers fan and his dad Michael Thompson works for the Lakers he used to play for the Lakers the Spurs and the Portland shbl so there’s a lot of that

Connection and I honestly think he’ll get a tons of open shots playing alongside LeBron James Anthony Davis because they just draw so much attention he got Playmakers so he’ll just be able to catch and shoot now will say I feel like he’ll get more of you know an opportunity and his shooting percentage

Would even be better than what it is even still great but better than the Golden State Warriors because think about it you got uh jaymond green which he’s the playmaker the heart and soul and teams are going to always focus on double teaming uh Stephen Curry and you

Don’t want to leave Klay Thompson wide open not even a foot because if you do he’s going to wind up knocking down the shot right so you don’t want to leave him any space and you got your young players on your team like a jonath the kaminga uh

Jb2 and uh Moses moody right so Lakers fans you guys let me know in the comments section how you guys feel about this whole situation I appreciate the support on this channel around the road to 3K Subs really trying to reach my next score 3K subs and the only way I
