He’s affectionally known as one-half of the Golden State Warriors’ iconic backcourt dubbed the Splash Brothers. However, after Klay Thompson played 13
years with the Warriors, he and the Dallas Mavericks made a big splash of their own as the five-time All-Star signed with the Mavs on Saturday via a sign-and-trade that saw the Mavs ship a pair of second-round picks to the Warriors and also send fourth-year swingman Josh Green to the Charlotte Hornets.
Signed by the Mavs to a three-year, $50 million contract, Thompson helped the Warriors win four NBA championships – the last one occurring in 2022 after Golden State defeated the Mavs in five games in the Western Conference Finals.
