The pair were teammates for 12 years, winning four NBA championships alongside one another.
Earlier this week, Klay Thompson agreed on terms to a sign-and-trade that will see him change from the Golden State Warriors—who he spent 13 seasons with—to the Dallas Mavericks. It will be strange to see Thompson play in a jerseyThompson won four championships and was named to five All-Star teams during his time with the Warriors.
Green, with his reputation for being more than willing to voice his opinion, says that as Thompson was making his decision he didn't try to interfere. "I was headed to my daughter's recital. So I wasn't able to go as in-depth to the conversation as maybe I would have ... When Klay told me I was just able to listen. And it wasn't like a, 'Yo we should finish like this,' or a, 'You should rethink this,' it was just like a, 'Wow, yeah, alright, like, congrats, bro, I'm happy for you," Green"I didn't even attempt to want to talk him out of leaving," Green said.
Over the last few seasons, the reality of Thompson leaving the Warriors appeared more possible considering the sharpshooter's multiple injury recoveries, a decline in production, and eventually coming off the bench at times during the 2023-24 season. Now, Thompson will join the Mavericks who won a Western Conference championship last year. Thompson's deal is for three years.Josh Wilson is the News Director of the Breaking & Trending News Team at Sports Illustrated.
