According to The Athletic’s Christian Clark, Klay Thompson “is a player the Mavericks will listen to offers about.” This news comes in the midst of the fact that Dallas is also exploring the idea of an Anthony Davis trade, although his most recent hand injury complicates things, according to Clark.
Klay Thompson joined the Mavericks when they had both Luka Dončić and Kyrie Irving. With Luka now on the Lakers and Kyrie out with a torn ACL, the situation for both Dallas and Klay has changed by a substantial amount.
Klay Thompson can still provide value to contending teams
With one more year left in his contract, Thompson could provide championship experience to a contending team and three-point shooting help, and although he is hitting three-pointers at a lower rate than ever before, his three-point percentage is still a respectable 38% according to Basketball-Reference.com, which is above league average.
For Dallas, moving him to a different team would help clean the slate further and reinforce their plans to build a competitive squad centered around rookie Cooper Flagg in the near future.
