Cuban also addressed the challenge of luring away Thompson from the Lakers.
Klay Thompson poses with his jersey following a NBA news conference where he was introduced as one of the Dallas Mavericks off-season acquisitions on, Tuesday, July 9, 2024, at Mavericks Training Center in Dallas.
Thompson, who is a five-time NBA All-Star and career 41% three-point shooter spent the first 11 years of his NBA career in Golden State., “Club Shay Shay” former Mavs majority owner and current minority owner Mark Cuban discussed how the team was able to convince Thompson to come to Dallas amid the Los Angeles Lakers courting him, a franchise he grew up rooting for and his father played for.
“Credit goes to Nico and Kyrie and Jason Kidd. They know him. They’ve played with them. They understand him. That’s why we brought Nico Harrison in, because of his relationships with players. They went out and spent time with them, got to know him better, and Klay was ready for a move,” Cuban said.Cuban also touched on the motivation for Thompson after achieving so much in Golden State to move on and build something new with a different franchise.
Despite all the success for Thompson in the Bay Area, his time with the Warriors ended with the team missing the postseason altogether after a loss to the Sacramento Kings in the Play-In Tournament. Thompson struggled, which cast even more doubt on the possibility of him re-signing with the Warriors.
Despite the bitter ending, Thompson averaged 17.9 points, 3.3 rebounds and 2.3 assists in 77 games last season for the Warriors. He shot 38.7% from the 3-point line in 2023-24,The SportsDay staff is a team of editors and producers on the sports desk who create content for The Dallas Morning News.
