The Dallas Mavericks are expected to chase Golden State Warriors star Klay Thompson when free agency begins on Sunday. Interestingly, it appears that the renowned sniper is also interested in the Mavericks.
Thompson is about to enter free agency while his future with the Warriors remains unknown. While the Dubs’ top leadership continues to underline their desire to re-sign the other half of the Splash Brother, the reality is that their negotiations for a new contract appear to be far from complete. It was even stated previously that both parties had “frozen” contract negotiations.

With Thompson clearly drifting away from the Warriors, a team he helped develop into a dynasty that finally won four titles, the Mavericks are still being mentioned as prospective suitors. Earlier, NBA Insider Marc Stein reported that the Mavericks were “intent on exploring the feasibility of signing Thompson” in free agency after trading Tim Hardaway Jr. to the Detroit Pistons.
According to Stein, the Mavericks and Thompson have a “strong mutual interest” in free agency. The experienced NBA insider also stated that Thompson’s relationship with the Warriors is “irretrievable,” which might pave the way for his departure from Golden State.

While the Mavericks appear to be making progress in acquiring Klay Thompson, it will not be simple given that other clubs will be interested in his services as well. Thompson’s probable suitors include the Denver Nuggets and the Orlando Magic.
According to reports, the Nuggets have “pegged Thompson as a possible replacement” for Kentavious Caldwell-Pope in case the veteran wing leaves in free agency. For those who missed it, KCP turned down his player option with Denver and chose to enter the free agent market.
Meanwhile, the Magic are reportedly willing to offer Thompson a short-term but lucrative contract for $50 million over two years. With the squad searching for an attacking boost to complement Paolo Banchero, Thompson has been seen as a good fit.
It remains to be seen what happens to Thompson, but his free agency will be fascinating to follow.
Sometimes it not brighter on the otherside, This three o has atleast 2 more Championship to deliver. It will be disappointing to lose Klay
