After winning four championships in 13 seasons with the Golden State Warriors, Klay Thompson has a new home.
The 34-year-old has reportedly agreed to a three-year, $50 million contract with the Dallas Mavericks, ending a historic streak.
It was Thompson's first time as a free agent, and despite playing his most games since the 2018-19 season, his 17.9 points per game were his lowest since the 2012-13 campaign.

It was just the second time in his career that he shot less than 40% from the three-point line. The Mavs, after reaching the NBA Finals this season, feel that one of the game's best shooters may be the missing piece alongside Luka Dončić and Kyrie Irving.
Not everyone is happy with Thompson choosing Dallas, though, including his father.
Thompson's father is Mychal Thompson, the NBA's first overall pick in 1978 who spent his final five seasons with the Los Angeles Lakers and has been on their broadcast team for more than two decades.
Mychal admitted he was “really disappointed” his son didn't choose Los Angeles.
“I don't feel like congratulating myself right now. Obviously, it's Klay's decision. It's his life. He's a grown man.” Mychal said on SiriusXM“I was hoping, as you can imagine, that he would be a Laker.”

Mychal said he tried to recruit his son for the Lakers until the last moment.
“Obviously, it's the right thing to do and the appropriate thing to do. I truly believe in this franchise. This franchise has been so good to me and my family, including Klay… I just thought it would be perfect for him to finally come home.”
Alongside Stephen Curry, Thompson was part of the “Splash Brothers,” one of the best shooting tandems in NBA history, and their skills speak for themselves.

Curry becomes the longest-tenured player in the league since Thompson's departure.
Thompson's 2,481 three-pointers are the sixth-most in history. He'll never catch Curry, but he should surpass Reggie Miller (fifth with 2,560) and could surpass Ray Allen (second with 2,973). Two active players (James Harden and Damian Lillard) have more than him.
