Klay Thompson, who is a free agent, intends to join the Dallas Mavericks for three years on a $50 million contract. This move comes after he spent 13 seasons with the Golden State Warriors, according to sources from ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski.
Thompson leaves a legacy of success in San Francisco with the Golden State Warriors. Alongside Steph Curry and Draymond Green, they achieved 518 wins in the regular season and playoffs, which ranks sixth all-time for a trio. Together, they won 98 playoff games, the third most in NBA history, and secured four championships, tying them with Tim Duncan, Manu Ginobili, and Tony Parker for the most by an All-NBA trio in the last 50 seasons.
This past year, Thompson averaged 17.9 points and shot 38.7% from 3-point range on nine attempts per game. He came off the bench for 14 games, a departure from his usual starting role, which he hadn't done since his rookie year. Thompson found this adjustment challenging but managed to excel, posting improved numbers with greater efficiency in this new role. Thompson joining the Mavericks is a big moment for him and the team, bringing new chances and exciting possibilities for the future.
