Klay Thompson has officially left the Golden State Warriors
The Golden State Warriors have officially agreed to sign and trade Klay Thompson to the Dallas Mavericks, ending his historic 13-year run with the team.
It had been reported for several weeks that Thompson and the Warriors were far from any agreement, and a departure in free agency was likely. Feeling he was not valued by the organization throughout contract negotiations, Thompson quickly shifted his focus elsewhere once free agency opened. Thompson‘s departure ends what was one of the most incredible duos in NBA history with he and Steph Curry. While Curry and Thompson had some incredible teammates during their time together, the Splash Brothers were what drew so many to this team, turning in countless historic performances.July 2, 2024
While in situations like this it is common for a superstar like Curry to get involved and try to mend the fracture between his teammate and organization, Thompson requested he didn’t do that in this case.
Wanting to be truly valued by the Warriors, and not just retained because Curry asked for him back, Thompson made the decision to leave.Title: Credentialed writer covering the NBA for Sports Illustrated's FanNation Email: [email protected] Education: Communication Studies degree from Biola University Location: Los Angeles, California Expertise: NBA analysis and reporting Experience: Joey Linn is a credentialed writer covering the NBA for Sports Illustrated's FanNation.
