Dallas Mavericks owner Mark Cuban set the record straight about Klay Thompson’s highly anticipated move from the Golden State Warriors to the Mavs. Klay Thompson’s departure from the Golden State Warriors to the Dallas Mavericks was one of the biggest offseason headlines.

The Dallas Mavericks made a big splash in the 2024 summer offseason when they landed four-time NBA champion Klay Thompson in a sign-and-trade involving the Golden State Warriors. Thompson, who is a five-time NBA All-Star and career 41% three-point shooter spent the first 11 years of his NBA career in Golden State.

Dallas is betting Klay Thompson can provide spacing and support for superstar cornerstones Luka Doncic and Kyrie Irving.

KlayThompson ‘s got a lot to prove. … Klay was ready for a move. All the grief he got last year – particularly the way it ended. So the timing was right.” –

Klay Thompson spent his first thirteen years in the NBA as a member of the Golden State Warriors but now enters a new beginning with the Dallas Mavericks.

Klay Thompson, widely regarded as one of the greatest three-point shooters of all time, entered free agency after playing 13 seasons with the Golden State Warriors. Later in the offseason, the 34-year-old guard was traded to the Dallas Mavericks in a six-team sign-and-trade.

Mark Cuban addressed the signing of Klay Thompson, and how he and the Mavericks convinced him to spurn the Lakers.
