LAS VEGAS – After the Dallas Mavericks kept shooting blanks from three-point range in last season’s NBA Finals against the Boston Celtics,
it became overtly obvious that they needed an experienced sharpshooter from long distance.
In short, the Mavs desperately needed a guy like Klay Thompson.
As the Mavs good fortune would have it, Thompson became available via free agency this past offseason after his 13-year tenure with the Golden State Warriors ran its course. So, as fate would have it, Thompson offered exactly what the Mavs needed, and the Mavs offered exactly what Thompson needed.
