Klay Thompson's exit from the Golden State Warriors was always bound to be emotionally complicated. It turned out to be logistically complicated as well, to a historic degree.
The three-year, $50 million sign-and-trade deal that will bring the five-time All-Star to the Dallas Mavericks has turned into the first six-team trade in NBA history, the Mavericks announced Saturday.
Also involved is Buddy Hield and his three-year, $21 million deal to move from the Philadelphia 76ers to the Warriors and Kyle Anderson's three-year, $27 million with the Warriors.
