Thompson moves to Dallas

Klay Thompson (34, 198 cm), who played as a key player for the Golden State Warriors of the National Basketball Association (NBA), is transferring to the Dallas Mavericks.

American sports media outlet ESPN reported on the 2nd (Korean time), “Thompson, who has become a free agent (FA), will sign a 3-year, $50 million (approximately 69.2 billion won) contract with Dallas.“

The club has yet to make an official announcement regarding the transfer.

Thompson, who was selected 11th overall by Golden State in the 2011 NBA Draft, is considered one of the key players of the Golden State dynasty. 스포츠 토토사이트

He appeared in 793 regular league games and averaged 19.6 points, 3.5 rebounds, and 2.3 assists.

He was a five-time All-Star and a member of the winning team at the 2014 FIBA ​​World Cup and the 2016 Rio Olympics.

In particular, he was active as a ‘splash duo’ with Stephen Curry, reaching the NBA championship four times in 2015, 2017, 2018, and 2022.

Dallas, the runner-up in the 2023-2024 season championship series, has built a powerful offense by adding Thompson to its existing lineup of Luka Doncic and Kyrie Irving.

However, Thompson, who is now in his mid-30s, recorded 17.9 points in the 2023-2024 season, averaging less than 20 points for the first time in 10 years since the 2013-2014 season when he scored 18.4 points.

Golden State, where Chris Paul transferred to the San Antonio Spurs as a free agent the day before, minimized the loss of power by acquiring De’Anthony Melton, who averaged 11.1 points from the Philadelphia 76ers in the 2023-2024 season. 스포츠토토사이트
