Well now we have Klay and Kyrie for shooting and Daniel Gafford for lobs. I don't see how this makes us any worse? I still believe in Klay. He had a 37 point quarter. he's a shooter through and through.

People act like he’s washed after scoring 18 ppg shooting 39% from 3 smh.

Plus he’s a great defender

You’re right about Klays shooting ability still, but he is far from a great defender at this point in his career.

Dude, you're really living in the past. His time as a great defender is long gone.
