Basketball star Klay Thompson was part of the Golden State Warriors for 13 years. Now the long-distance shooter is changing NBA teams for the first time. A man from Würzburg could benefit from this.
According to consistent media reports, basketball star Klay Thompson is changing teams for the first time in his NBA career and will play alongside Luka Doncic and Kyrie Irving for the Dallas Mavericks. The four-time champion is saying goodbye to the Golden State Warriors after 13 years.
ESPN and “The Athletic” both reported that the deal will be handled by three teams and that Thompson will receive $50 million for three seasons. The Charlotte Hornets are also reportedly involved, as they are set to get Josh Green from the Mavericks.
Three-man expert could help Kleber
Thompson is one of the best long-range shooters in the league. He is sixth in the NBA’s all-time list of three-pointers with 2,481 three-pointers made. Only Reggie Miller, Damian Lillard, James Harden, Ray Allen and Stephen Curry, with whom Thompson played for the Warriors, have scored more often. The Los Angeles Clippers, the Los Angeles Lakers and the Orlando Magic were also reportedly interested in signing the 34-year-old.
In Dallas, Thompson would also be able to help Würzburg’s Maxi Kleber win the second championship in Mavericks history next season after losing in the NBA Finals last season.
