Warriors star Klay Thompson has left Golden State this offseason for a West Rival.

After 13 seasons with the Golden State Warriors, guard Klay Thompson has signed elsewhere. Thompson agreed to join the Dallas Mavericks on a three-year deal that is worth $50 million. According to ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski, the deal includes a player option.Thompson heads to the Mavericks after they fell short in the NBA Finals to the Boston Celtics. He will add shooting to the Dallas offense, something that was lacking during the NBA Finals.

Before anything can happen, the two sides will have to agree on a trade.Throughout the entire process, Thompson and the Warriors tried to make things work but nothing came to fruition. Thompson felt disrespected by Golden State during the negotiation process which led to him walking away from the only team he had ever known in the league. Thompson helped the Warriors win four NBA titles over the last 10 seasons, creating a dynasty in the Bay Area.
