Klay Thompson's departure marks the end of an era for the Warriors and the Splash Brothers. According to ESPN's Woj, Thompson has agreed to a sign-and-trade deal with the Dallas Mavericks worth $50 million over 3 years. After 13 years with the Warriors, Thompson's partnership with Stephen Curry has officially come to an end. So why did Thompson decide to leave?
The signs of Thompson's departure were evident midway through the season. He had a subpar performance and averaged less than 20 points per game for the first time since the 2013-14 season. It was during this time that Thompson's contract was set to expire. The Warriors were uncertain about re-signing him, publicly stating their intention to keep Thompson and the Splash Brothers together for life. But behind closed doors, they seemed to have changed their minds. In the first play-in game against the Kings, Thompson went 0 for 10 from the field, sealing his fate.
Steph Curry could have used his influence to pressure the front office to keep Thompson, but Thompson refused. In the end, Thompson agreed to join the Mavericks in a sign-and-trade deal worth $50 million over 3 years. There were reasons why he chose the Mavericks. Texas has a lower tax rate, and he also wants to make a run for his fifth championship. He turned down a 4-year $80 million offer from the Lakers, with some rumors suggesting that the Lakers offered D'Angelo Russell in a trade, but the Warriors rejected it.
And so, Thompson bids farewell to the Warriors. Since joining the team in the 2011 draft, he has been a crucial part of their success. In the summer of 2014, the Warriors almost traded Thompson for Kevin Love, but it was halted by Jerry West, then a Warriors advisor. Keeping Thompson led to four championships and the historic 73-win season.
Thompson, second only to Curry as the Warriors' leading scorer and three-point shooter, has had a significant impact on the league and elevated the importance of the three-point shot. He also holds the record for most three-pointers made in a playoff game with 11 out of 18 attempts in Game 6 of the 2016 Western Conference Finals. The Splash Brothers have been widely regarded as one of the best backcourt duos in NBA history. But now, it all comes to an end.
The Mavericks welcome Thompson, and next season, they will have a lineup consisting of Luka Dončić, Kyrie Irving, Thompson, PJ Washington, and Al Horford. How strong is this lineup? The Mavericks have seen some changes this season, with Dwight Powell joining the Pistons, Derrick Jones Jr. going to the Clippers, and Josh Green heading to the Hornets. Alongside Thompson, the Mavericks have also acquired Nickeil Alexander-Walker and Quentin Grimes. On paper, this lineup looks even stronger. Some even say that the Mavericks could be the strongest team in the Western Conference next season, although it may be too early to tell.
Thompson will play the role of a catch-and-shoot player in the Mavericks' lineup, receiving passes from Dončić and Irving and making shots. This means that Thompson is likely to be a starter next season. With Jones and Powell gone, the small forward position is vacant, and Thompson has experience playing at that position for the Warriors in the past two seasons. He can also slide over to shooting guard when Dončić or Irving is on the court. His versatility will be valuable for the Mavericks. And it wouldn't be surprising to see Thompson averaging over 20 points per game again in Dallas.
Some believe that Thompson's departure might prevent the Warriors from making the playoffs, but that's not necessarily the case. However, their championship hopes have been permanently shut down. On the other hand, Thompson joining the Mavericks will follow the footsteps of the Dončić duo and make another run at the NBA Finals. With Thompson on board, the question is, have we just witnessed the birth of the strongest team in the Western Conference for next season?
