Klay Thompson has reportedly signed a $50 million three-year deal with the Dallas Mavericks, ending his 13-season run with the Golden State Warriors.
As reported by Adrian Wojnarowski for ESPN, the 34-year-old shooting guard will move to Dallas as part of a sign-and-trade deal that will see Mavericks guard Josh Green head to the Charlotte Hornets. The full extent of the deal is unclear but is expected to include the Mavericks getting two second-round picks from the Hornets.
Thompson's deal comes after he fielded various four-year offers that would've garnered him more money. Before he was a free agent, Thompson was the Warriors player who'd been with the team for the second-longest amount after Stephen Curry, who has played for the team since 2009. Thompson was drafted by Golden State in the 2011 NBA draft and went on to secure four NBA championships with the team.
The news has been met with a mixed response, with some suggesting it's a sad way to end his career, while others just don't like the idea of seeing Thompson in another team's jersey after 13 seasons.
