Klay Thompson’s departure from the Golden State Warriors marked a significant moment in franchise history, closing the chapter on a 13-year tenure with the team that resulted in four championships. After reports of Thompson’s discontent with his situation in Golden State, the Warriors and Mavericks orchestrated a blockbuster sign-and-trade this past offseason, officially ending an era that Warriors fans will never forget.
Now with the new season officially underway, the trade seems to be paying off for both teams as the Warriors and Mavericks have gone off to promising starts. In Thursday’s opener for the Mavs, Thompson wasted no time making an impact, scoring 22 points while hitting 6-of-10 from three-point range.
