The race between the Dallas Mavericks and the Los Angeles Lakers has turned to the advantage of the Texans! While his departure from the Golden State Warriors was assured, Klay Thompsona free agent this summer, has chosen to join the unfortunate 2024 finalists.
According to the information https://twitter.com/wojespn/status/1807844416163664317?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfwthe 34-year-old guard is heading to Dallas as part of a “sign-and-trade”. A deal, not all the details of which have been leaked, which will notably send Josh Green to the Charlotte Hornets.
For his part, Thompson has made a good salary effort: with a 50 million dollar contract over 3 years with the Mavs. An agreement that was ultimately dry without “player option”. And most importantly, to win a new ring in his career, the Los Angeles native agreed to reduce his claims.
Because on the market, he had bigger offers over 4 years. But to allow this operation and aim for the title, he opted for this formula in Dallas. Sportingly, it is obviously a superb move for the team led by Jason Kidd.
Even though Thompson has lost some of his luster after his injuries, he remains a quality veteran capable of bringing two valuable elements: his defense and his shooting. And above all, he perfectly complements the two stars already present: Luka Doncic et Kyrie Irving.
This offseason, Dallas had already made some good adjustments. Naji Marshall (on FA) and Quentin Grimes (via a trade). With the signing of Klay Thompson, the Mavs are moving up another level. With XXL ambitions. For the Warriors, it is officially the end of an era, but it was expected…
