Klay Thompson's father, Mychal Thompson, isn't shy about advertising his desire for Klay to play with the Los Angeles Lakers in 2026-27. Mychal Thompson took to Twitter/X in recent days and personally engaged with a report that Klay would welcome a union with the Lakers. In response to a fan calling out Mychal and asking him to get involved with the process and get Klay to the Lakers, Mychal responded, "I’m TRYING…"Would Klay Thompson help the Lakers? But with Thompson having a $17.5 million attached to him for the 2026-27 season, the Lakers almost certainly aren't interested in the above production at that cost. The time isn't now for a Klay Thompson-Lakers unionThompson may have already missed his opportunity to join the Lakers.
