Everything you NEED to know about the race to secure Klay Thompson, the Mavericks and the Lakers. ⬇️?
Tons of information from Marc Stein.
- The Warriors struck out on Paul George and now fear they may lose Thompson as well.
- Dallas is currently the front runner.
- “League sources continued to stress to The Stein Line that there will be strong mutual interest between Thompson and the Mavericks.”
- The Mavericks are expected to make a competitive three year offer thanks to the new flexibility from the THJ trade.
- “The Mavericks are undeniably prepared to make signing Thompson their offseason priority — even ahead of re-signing Derrick Jones Jr.”
- The Warriors are open to facilitating a sign and trade, despite the current relationship with Klay.
- The Mavericks true goal is to acquire Klay AND keep Derrick Jones Jr.
- If they are to lose Jones, they are expected to turn to Naji Marshall.
Tomorrow will be one hell of a day.
Thanks for posting this.
The emboldened is something I'm not sure it's very smart to allow Stein to say publicly, from the Mavs' POV, even if it's true.
