Stephen Curry et Klay Thompson

After spending his career with the Warriors, Klay Thompson will be relaunching with the Mavericks starting next season.

A place where he hopes to win the title, and it seems that one detail made a huge difference in this saga.

Perhaps overlooked by the Warriors, his management not wanting to make a financial effort to keep him, Klay Thompson decided to join the Mavericks for the next three seasons.

A good thing for the guard who is getting a nice salary and the possibility of winning the NBA championship. After all, the Texans failed in the finals against Boston last June.

With Luka Doncic and Kyrie Irving, it will be interesting to see this Big 3 at work. Thompson should continue to evolve in a pure shooter role, even if he will be important in defense.

Enough to allow Dallas to take a step forward? Impossible to know, but the Mavs are very confident for the future. This is the case for Jason Kidd and even Kyrie Irving.

The detail that changed everything for Klay Thompson

Did Thompson make the right choice? Again, it’s hard to say, but he’s happy to have left the Dubs. It’s an opportunity for him to change his environment and give his career a boost.

He needed it according to his own admission, a bit like Irving at one time. It’s precisely the leader who played a big role in this arrival.

Jason Kidd on the signing of Klay Thompson: “I would like to say that it’s thanks to me but that’s not the case.

When we talk about recruiting, there are always many people who are involved in all of this. But one of the main players was Kai.

From player to player, Kai was able to discuss in detail his experience in Dallas with Klay Thompson. »

“He was able to tell him what it’s like to be in Dallas for the last two years and tell him the truth about what could happen if Klay decides to sign with Dallas.

I think even he had to do his own research.”

And clearly, Thompson was intrigued by the idea of ​​signing with Dallas.

Texas is a good environment for him, all on an ambitious team that needed a big-time shooter.

But can the Splash Brother still impose himself at such a level after a disappointing season with the Warriors? Some have their doubts.

Kyrie Irving was a big part of Klay Thompson’s arrival in Dallas.

Without him, the guard might have stayed with the Warriors, or he might have signed with another organization.

Whether that move will pay off remains to be seen.
