On July 2, Beijing time, it was also the second day of the opening of the NBA trading day, and another blockbuster deal was ushered in, and the veteran Klay of the Warriors, who attracted everyone's attention, finally chose to leave his old club, before which many teams have expressed interest in Klay, among which the Lakers and the Mavericks are the most competitive, and now Klay has also made his own choice, 3 years and 50 million to join the Mavericks, and Doncic Irving to form a big three.

Why give up the Lakers, who are more popular and give more money, and choose the Mavericks, there are actually three fundamental reasons here.

The first is the probability of winning the championship, leaving the Warriors, Klay wants to prove himself, he will inevitably choose a team with the strength to compete for the championship, the Lakers and the Mavericks are good choices, both teams have the league's top Qiu Xiu, but in contrast, although the Lake has James and thick eyebrows, but from the facts, James is 39 years old, although he can still create miracles in the game, but he has also lost the dominance of the peak of the year. And the Mavericks' Doncic and Irving are both in their playing years.

On the other hand, the Lakers were eliminated in the first round of the playoffs last season, while the Mavericks lost to the Finals, which have a better chance of competing for a championship this season.

The second is the problem of adaptation, in fact, in James's early years, most netizens thought that the most suitable guard to partner James was the top 3D Klay Thomson, and it was no secret that James liked to partner with a three-point shooter. However, as James gets older, the impact has declined, the number of times he has attracted the bag has decreased, and James himself has begun to act as an outside pitcher, and Klay's addition may not make much of a difference.

On the one hand, Klay's fixed-point projection does not rely on ball handling, on the other hand, Doncic's overall view is also the top in the league, and it can also create a lot of shooting space for Klay, and there are two high-quality pitchers Irving and Doncic inside to attract opponents, and Klay's defensive intensity will also drop significantly.

To sum up, if James is 3 years younger, Klay is more suitable for James, and now, of course, he is more suitable for Doncic.

The third is the issue of income, the Lakers are 80 million in 4 years, and the Mavericks are 50 million in 3 years, and it seems that the Lakers are much better than the Mavericks in terms of annual salary and long-term contract. But that's not the case, because we also have to consider the tax rates of the states. The federal tax of both of them is 36.62%, which is the same, but, the difference is that the California where the Lakers are located still has a state tax of 14.35%, while Texas, where the Mavericks are located, does not charge personal income tax, and then deducts medical insurance and league trusteeship, the actual average annual salary of the Mavericks is 10.152 million, the average annual salary of the Lakers is only 9.32 million, and the salary of the Mavericks is higher.

To sum up, whether it is for personal development considerations or income, Clay has no reason not to choose the Mavericks.
