Klay Thompson joined the Mavericks and was ridiculed and became a free agent, Thompson has been clamoring for a big contract, but in the end he only got a 3-year $50 million contract, with an average annual salary of $16.7 million, which is now quite cheap, and the previous contracts offered by the Warriors are bigger than this, but Thompson refused.
Thompson, the high-caliber player, sparked a tight battle on the free agency. However, surprisingly, the Warriors' successive contracts were decisively rejected by Thompson. This refusal undoubtedly dealt a heavy blow to the Warriors, and Thompson's departure heralded the complete end of the Splash Brothers era.
Thompson has always been an important part of the Warriors, and his performances and contributions are there for all to see. But when it comes to contract extensions, the Warriors don't seem to be sincere enough, and the contract offered fails to meet Thompson's expectations. And Thompson has made it clear with his actions, turning down offers that he doesn't think respects his worth enough.
Puson chose to join the Mavericks cheaply at an average salary of $16.7 million. This decision shocked the entire league. For the Mavericks, this is undoubtedly a great value signing. A 3-year, 50 million contract, in exchange for an experienced and strong player like Thompson, is really worth the money. With the Mavericks with Doncic and Irving, Thompson can do better with three-pointers.
Thompson can accept such a cheap contract, which is naturally a slap in the face of the Warriors, after all, the contract offered by the Warriors is an insult in Thompson's opinion, but it is also bigger than this contract, but it is not the Warriors who are more slapped in the face, but the Lakers.
It is understood that the Lakers offered Thompson a 4-year contract of $80 million, but in the sign-and-trade plan, the Lakers proposed to trade Thompson with Russell, which was unacceptable to the Warriors, so they rejected the Lakers' trade request, so Thompson did not get a big contract of 80 million, but the Lakers are also very embarrassed, and the interested players are basically divided by other teams, and the Lakers may only have one Bronny to strengthen this summer.
Going back to the Mavericks trade, the Mavericks did an excellent job in this reinforcement effort. They were keenly seized and succeeded in bringing Thompson under their wing. This not only strengthens the team, but also injects a strong impetus into the future development of the team. Reached the finals last season, although the Green Army abused a whole round of the series, but the Mavericks still saw the level of impact on the championship, then the Mavericks must further strengthen, Thompson may just start, and did not pay expensive chips, and there are more daring operations in the future.
The addition of Thompson has given the Mavericks more confidence and competitiveness in the highly competitive league. His skills and experience will have good chemistry with the team's existing squad and will hopefully lead the team to better results. In the Finals, the Mavericks' three-point shooting was completely out of order, role players were afraid to shoot, core players couldn't shoot, and there was no stable three-point shooter, so Thompson's status in the Mavericks would probably be very high. #NBA流言汇总#
