Klay Thompson, a Golden State Warriors legend known for his incredible shooting, has hung up his Warriors jersey after 13 seasons. With Steph Curry and Draymond Green at his side, Thompson was unbeatable, and the trio went on to win a record-breaking four NBA titles together. After feeling blessed with this incredible journey, Klay is ready to take on new challenges on the court.

Thompson has moved to Dallas, where the team is eager to win a title after a tough loss in the NBA Finals this season. To make a strong scoring trio with Thompson, the Dallas Mavericks have occupied rising star Luka Doncic and newly acquired Kyrie Irving in their new plan.

After an illustrious 13 years in the Bay Area, the 34-year-old openly addressed his departure from the Warriors. He thanked the Warriors and the Bay Area during the Mavs introductory press conference, where he also embraced the excitement of new beginnings.

He said, “Sometimes change can spur greatness, and a new change of scenery can do wonders. I’m very grateful for my time at Golden State, but I just felt like moving on could just re-energize me, and do something special for the rest of my career.”

Now, with a legend like Thompson on board, Team Dallas hopes to build a powerful team capable of clinching the championship for the next season.

Stephen Curry Shares His Thoughts on Klay Thompson’s Move to the Mavericks

Golden State’s star Stephen Curry and his longtime teammate Klay Thompson have been an unstoppable force since 2011, draining threes and racking up four championships together. However, their partnership ended when Thompson signed a three-year deal with the Dallas Mavericks. Curry posted an emotional tribute on Instagram and shared more about his feelings on the change with ESPN’s Malika Andrews this week.

Curry said, “Having Klay head on to Dallas, it’s tough. It’s something I never imagined would be a reality, but you want him to be happy. You want him to be able to enjoy the game of basketball. It does suck losing Klay, there’s no two ways around it. You have to be able to celebrate what we accomplished, but then be able to move on.”

Paul George, also known as PG-13, joined the Los Angeles Clippers in 2019 after playing two seasons with the Oklahoma City Thunder. George played with the Clippers until the conclusion of the 2023-24 season, after which he entered free agency. Many NBA analysts have speculated on possible landing spots for the four-time member of the NBA All-Defensive Team.

It was reported that the Golden State Warriors were one of the teams George was considering after becoming a free agent following the recent season. Despite the speculations, the six-time All-NBA Team member accepted an offer from the Philadelphia 76ers. On Saturday, Philadelphia signed George to a four-year contract worth up to $212 million.

In a recent episode of Podcast P with Paul George, the host George opened up about his last conversation with Clippers forward Kawhi Leonard. Before signing with the 76ers, George claimed to have spoken with Leonard, who had some encouraging words for him.

George mentioned that Leonard was one of his best friends in the league and that their families loved each other. He asserted that it was tough for him to leave Leonard, and they talked at the last moment, with Leonard giving him his blessings.

“I owed Kawhi that conversation. He understood like, ‘Go get your bag.’ I look at Kawhi as one of my best friends in this league. Somebody that I f— with. Our families love each other. So it was tough to leave him just with how much I enjoyed being out there with him. That weighed a lot on me, just, damn, I’m leaving my boy. We talked, and he gave me his blessings of like, ‘Man, just go do what’s best for you.’” George said during the episode of his podcast.
