Klay Thompson's decision to sign with the Dallas Mavericks as a free agent didn't get an overarching stamp of approval from his father -- former Los Angeles Lakers star Mychal Thompson.

"I'm not feeling too much in a congratulatory mood right now," Mychal Thompson told SiriusXM NBA Radio on Tuesday morning.

Klay Thompson agreed to a three-year, $50 million contract with the Mavericks on Monday, sources told ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski.

The Lakers were extremely intriguing to Klay Thompson, sources said, but the financial savings from living in Texas over California and the fact that the Mavericks came within three victories of an NBA championship were big factors in his decision.
