Just this morning, the biggest suspense of this year's NBA free agency market was revealed! Klay Thompson has reached an agreement with the Dallas Mavericks to confirm his joining!
It seems that Thompson's previous closure of the Warriors and the deletion of the 2022 championship photo is indeed not groundless, and it can't help but make people sigh that the story of the "Splash Brothers" has completely become history.
Although the way the two sides parted was not pleasant, the Warriors officially issued a statement as soon as possible that they would retire the No. 11 jersey in the future as a tribute to the four-time NBA champion.
It is reported that the amount of Thompson's contract with the Mavericks is actually far less than the figure given by the Warriors and Lakers, with an average annual salary of less than $20 million.
But Thompson decided to join the Mavericks, given the low taxes in Texas and the Mavericks' championship potential.
Of course, if you want to say that the biggest winner of the transaction, I am afraid it has to go to Anta's side, the two most important spokespersons of the brand's basketball product line play for the same team at the same time, and this wave of "step brothers" can be regarded as achieved!
In addition to Thompson, another "big fish" in the free market this year also confirmed the result yesterday, that is, Paul George left the Clippers to join the 76ers, and joined Embiid and Maxey to win the championship together.
Although this year's championship belongs to the Eastern team, it is an indisputable fact that the overall strength of the Eastern Conference is not as good as that of the Western West, so I am very much looking forward to what kind of performance Philadelphia with a luxurious squad can play.
At present, DeRozan is the "big fish" with the bigger names left in the free market, and there is news that the Lakers are interested in him, can he get his wish?
