Golden State Warriors legend Klay Thompson 'joining the Dallas Mavericks on three-year, $50M deal'

Klay Thompson is set to join the Dallas Mavericks on a three-year, $50million deal after a glittering run with the Golden State Warriors, according to ESPN.

Thompson reportedly had plenty of suitors, including a few offering him more lucrative four-year contracts than the Mavericks. 

However, Thompson's desire to compete for a fifth championship and take a deal in a place with less in state taxes drew him to Dallas. 

Now, the Mavericks have one of the NBA's top trios in Thompson, Luka Doncic, and Kyrie Irving. 

The deal with Dallas is reportedly also part of a sign-and-trade agreement that also involves the Charlotte Hornets.  

Thompson has spent his entire NBA career with the Warriors since being selected by the franchise with the No 11 pick in the 2011 draft.
