On July 1, Beijing time, according to a report by famous journalist Marc Stein, multiple sources revealed that the Mavericks were in the lead in the battle for Klay, and there was a strong interest between the two sides.

Stein then added that Klay joined the Mavericks by sign-and-trade or outright signing, which is unclear, but the Mavericks will make a competitive three-year contract offer for him. Not only that, but the Mavericks have made signing Klay a top offseason priority, even more important than renewing Derrick Jones Jr.; In addition, management also intends to make Klay play a prominent role in the offense, that is, the three leaders after Doncic and Irving; This is the sincerity of the Lone Ranger, and the treatment, cards, and tactical status are all presented one by one.

The Mavericks' ability to acquire Klay is also due to the fact that management traded Hardaway Jr., the team's sixth man, to the Pistons, giving the team more flexibility in their salary finances.

In the 23-24 season, Klay played in 77 regular season games for the Warriors, averaging 17.9 points, 3.3 rebounds and 2.3 assists per game, shooting 43.2% from the field and nearly 39% from three-point range. However, in the play-off battle with the Kings, Klay shot 0 of 10 and did not score, and once lost his value. However, this does not stop many teams from taking an interest in him, after all, he is a four-time champion. He can attract a defender by standing outside the three-point line, and he can disrupt the opposition's defense with his off-ball run.

The Mavericks' loss to the Celtics in the Finals was even more due to the fact that role players Washington and Jones Jr. couldn't shoot those open three-pointers, putting too much pressure on the shoulders of the two core superstars, Doncic and Irving. In other words, if the Mavericks can get Klay, the team will have a three-point shooter who can shoot those open three-pointers when Doncic or Irving are caught in the middle. In this way, the team's offensive ceiling can be raised, and the overall combat power of the Mavericks will also be raised.

Of course, if the Mavericks take Klay as the shooter, they still have to clean up some role players in the lineup, such as Exum, Kleber, etc., and continue to introduce a player with size, height, and projection on the inside, the configuration of this team will become more complete.

As for the Warriors, can't really keep Klay? That's a high probability event. According to TA Warriors reporter Tim Kawakami, sources revealed that Clay was fully prepared and had a cordial goodbye to the Warriors' senior members.

The era of the Splash Brothers has come to an end, and we wish Clay a great start and even better at his new club.
