Mavs' Klay Thompson aims to be 'rejuvenated' by fresh start

DALLAS -- Klay Thompson said he's moved past the disappointment over realizing a "breakup" with the Golden State Warriors after a historic 13-year run was in his best interest and is now determined to rediscover his joy for the game with a new franchise.

Thompson smiled throughout Tuesday's news conference at the Dallas Mavericks ' practice facility, where he was introduced along with the team's other offseason acquisitions: forward Naji Marshall and shooting guard Quentin Grimes.

"Coming here is just such a fresh start," Thompson said. "Feeling just wanted again, like I bring great value, it just gets me excited to go out there and even work out after this press conference and get shots up.
