Klay Thompson failed to justify his big warrior and Mavericks decision
SHARE

4x NBA champion Klay Thompson has signed a three-year, $50 million contract to launch a new chapter with the Dallas Mavericks.

Before signing with The Mavs, Thompson won all four NBA championships with Franchase and spent 13 years with the Golden State Warriors.

However, last summer, Clay had a big fallout with the franchise on contract extensions. That led to Thompson’s departure, but fast forward until now and his debut season with the Mavs didn’t go as planned.

Given that the Mavs reached the 2024 NBA Finals, most teams were hoping that the addition of Thompson would make it better.

They knew Thompson was out of his prime, but they still hoped he would emerge as the leader of the team.

However, the 2024-25 NBA season was one of the much worse seasons for the Mavericks in recent history. First of all, the organization traded Luka Donsic.

Plus, they have hit a lot of injuries throughout the season. As for Thompson, he played 72 games for the team, but his numbers were down.

When the dust settled, the Mavs missed out on the 2025 NBA playoffs, even with the addition of Thompson. Plus, the Warriors didn’t really benefit from allowing Clay to walk.

The Warriors barely advanced into the playoffs and were given an embarrassing 4-1 loss in the second round at the hands of the Minnesota Timberwolves. With all that in mind, neither team really benefited from the big decisions by Thompson.

A much easier way to see Thompson’s nightmare season is to compare the statistics of Mavs and Warriors.

Thompson averaged 14.0 points, 3.4 rebounds and 2.0 assists per game on MAVS this season, according to data provided by Sofa Core. He contributed these numbers while shooting 41% from the field and 39% from the three-point line.

In comparison, Klay has increased 17.9 points, 3.3 rebounds and 2.3 assists game-by-game in his final season. He also shot 43% from the field and 39% from the deep.

This is roughly a difference of 4.0 points per game. Additionally, Klay played 2.4 minutes per game with Mavericks.

It’s not wrong to say that Klay couldn’t justify his move to Dallas unless he posted better numbers in the 2025-26 NBA season.
