Very happy for @KlayThompson. Gave his heart and soul to the Warriors. At some point after returning from multiple catastrophic injuries, the end of his tenure there was more about what he wasn’t that what he was. He gets a fresh start on a team that needs what he IS with a – 9:33 PM

The Mavs have a new weapon to use alongside their superstar backcourt in Luka Doncic and Kyrie Irving.
Klay Thompson, who’s only shot less than 40% from 3 twice in his career, is coming to Dallas. His addition opens up more options for the Mavs’ offense. dallasnews.com/sports/maveric…9:14 PM

Three great players playing 13 years together just doesn’t happen in pro sports anymore. We’ve been so lucky. Some Warriors fans, especially the ones who experienced so many hard years, get that and will reflect on the best of Klay. It’s only spoiled newbies doing the whining. – 8:27 PM

Kylen Mills @KylenMills
In the 3 team trade which sends Klay Thompson to Dallas, the Warriors received 2 second round picks, but because they’re offloading a contract while receiving not much in return they get a trade exception which makes nearly $16mil avail for the Warriors next move. #dubnation8:06 PM
Kylen Mills @KylenMills
Also this isn’t directed at @JDumasReports as a partial quote was taken which creates the narrative, but I see a lot of folks in the comments saying Klay has always been the problem, Steph is unfit to lead a franchise, etc. Like full stop on that nonsense. – 7:45 PM
Kyle Neubeck @KyleNeubeck
A lot of context to this of course but Klay Thompson leaving Golden State for a pair of second round picks is just an insane thing to think about – 7:44 PM

Effectively THJ, Green, and 5 seconds (maybe four if one is just a Charlotte re-route?) for Grimes and Klay with space left over for Marshall. Dallas is crushing it. – 7:43 PM

It’s been a rough offseason for the Warriors but fans are stupid to think they were going to make a haul from a Klay Thompson sign-and-trade — he was an UNRESTRICTED free agent. They were fortunate to get anything. As for Chris Paul, nobody was going to bite on his $30M contract. – 5:53 PM

Nate Duncan @NateDuncanNBA
If De’Anthony Melton is healthy, there’s a very good chance he’ll help the Warriors more than Klay would have. Klay became a tough fit defensively for them because he couldn’t defend guards or make plays in help defense or on the boards. Melton does all those things. – 3:28 PM

With Klay Thompson off of the board, I assume the Lakers will now move to DeMar DeRozan.

Also, I’ll believe the Mavs can win the heart of a FA that the Lakers are pushing full-on for when it happens … that’s where I am on Klay.

Jon Krawczynski @JonKrawczynski
Clips, Warriors and Nuggets have all lost or are losing key pieces w/o much or any compensation. OKC is significantly better. DAL (Marshall for DJJ and we’ll see on Klay) is TBD. NOP adding Murray should help. West will likely see changes to the hierarchy, but TOUGH as ever – 10:17 AM
Michael Dugat @mdug
Don’t know if there are any names the Mavs could begin to miss out on while waiting on Klay — but I don’t think, at 34, he’s not worth missing out on other avenues (if they’re there).
This FO seems to be much better about doing mult things at once, but I wouldn’t wait too long – 9:52 AM

Maybe it doesn’t matter – but I like the fit of Klay so much better off the bench, though that’s clearly not the Mavs plan at the moment. – 9:49 AM

LeBron James called Klay Thompson when free agency began to discuss him potentially joining the Lakers, per @wojespn.
LeBron is willing to take a significant pay cut in order for Thompson to land in Los Angeles. pic.twitter.com/JfBcSHOUs510:28 PM

Evan Sidery @esidery
Klay Thompson won’t be making a decision tonight on his next team, per @wojespn.
The Clippers, Lakers, Mavericks and Sixers are all contenders for Thompson. pic.twitter.com/QoPxRD0G2I10:25 PM

Bobby Marks @BobbyMarks42
Updated Dallas with Naji Marshall
Klay Thompson scenario
1. Move out a salary in the $13M range
2. Sign-and-trade with Golden St. into the $16.1M TE pic.twitter.com/cBlOloOaAw10:22 PM

Projected Dallas roster: With Naji Marshall
The Klay Thompson scenario

Nate Duncan @NateDuncanNBA
With the Marshall signing, Mavs project as $10m below the 1st Apron hard cap. They have a $16m TPE from the Hardaway trade to get Klay, but would have to clear other money 1st. Josh Green or Kleber would fit into a team’s MLE in a trade. – 10:12 PM
Marc Stein @TheSteinLine
Dallas pivoted to signing Naji Marshall, league sources say, after
unexpectedly conceding tonight that it likely would not have the wherewithal to retain Derrick Jones Jr. while the Mavs focus on the sign-and-trade pursuit of Klay Thompson. ESPN first reported Marshall deal. – 10:08 PM
Sam Quinn @SamQuinnCBS
If Derrick Jones Jr. is getting more than the MLE and Dallas can’t legally match, ok, I get it.
If they actively chose Naji Marshall (or, indirectly, Klay Thompson in a sign-and-trade) over DJJ, I just disagree with that. They really need his point-of-attack defense. – 10:05 PM

More on this storyline

Marc Stein: Klay Thompson had face-to-face meetings with both the Lakers and Mavericks in L.A. on Sunday night, league sources say. In addition Dallas had Klay’s former @USABasketball teammate Kyrie Irving to counter recruiting from LeBron James. More NBA from me: http://marcstein.substack.com -via Twitter @TheSteinLine / July 1, 2024
NBA on ESPN: “[Klay] turned their franchise around. That franchise is worth billions of dollars not just because of Stephen Curry. It’s also because of Klay.” 👀 @Rjeff24 says Klay Thompson had a right to be mad with the Warriors during his contract negotiations ✍ pic.twitter.com/IqlVD0BnKs -via Twitter @ESPNNBA / July 1, 2024
