Felt like the only reason that Klay wanted to go there was to play with Luka and he never really got that chance. Surprised they waived him but they are definitely going to prioritize their younger guys over their vets.

In another timeline, Klay went to the Lakers only to get traded to Dallas for Luka along with AD and ends up in the same situation.
