The four-time NBA champion broke down the process behind his decision.
. After the league's moratorium lifted on July 6, free agents were able to officially sign their contracts with their new teams. This allowed Thompson to find his way to Dallas via a sign-and-trade that saw the future Hall of Fame guard secure a three-year/$50 million deal.
While the NBA landscape looks quite different with Thompson wearing a different logo for the first time in his career, the Mavericks will be better after acquiring the sharpshooter. In the NBA Finals, shooting woes held back the Mavericks' offense led by Luka Doncic and Kyrie Irving. Signing the former Warriors star absolutely helps address that, giving Dallas a solid third option on the offensive end.over the Los Angeles Lakers for a variety of reasons, and he detailed the reason behind picking Dallas on Tuesday.
"Dallas was so attractive because of the young players they have, the style of play, the world-class treatment these players get from the organization, and a beautiful city that loves their hoops," Doncic is next up in the NBA. He's only 25-years-old and just willed his team to the NBA Finals, though his team fell short. Continuing to build a roster around the franchise player could allow the Mavericks to hoist another banner in the American Airlines Center. Adding Thompson and his floor spacing alongside Doncic -- a player with a hefty amount of scoring gravity -- seems like a match made in heaven.
