BREAKING: Free agent Klay Thompson plans to join the Dallas Mavericks on a three-year, $50M deal with a player option, sources tell ESPN. Thompson ends his historic Warriors run as part of a multi-team sign-and-trade that’ll also send Josh Green to Charlotte.

Nice

That's a reasonable deal

[TurkishMFFL]

Boooommmm!!!

One of the best shooters for a very reasonable price!

I love it!

[Smitty]

Charolette wanted Green in the PJ deal. They finally get their guy. Mavs turned Tim (16m) into Klay Thompson. Wow!

[RasheedsBigWhiteSpot]

I hope they at least extracted some 2nds from Charlotte. Josh isn't exactly a cash dump type player.

[RoyTarpleysGhost]

[Wojnarowski]Thompson had four-year offers for more money, but taking less was offset by the chance to win a fifth championship with the Mavs and difference in state taxes. Agent Greg Lawrence of @wassbasketball led Thompson in serious talks with Mavs and Lakers, among others.

The Hornets are sending out second-round draft capital included in the deal to acquire Josh Green, per league source.

Charlotte swoops in to help facilitate Klay Thompson to the Mavericks and receive a very promising high upside wing prospect.

Asleep at the wheel Donnie would've let this thing drag out and fall through.

What a difference a good gm makes even if I'm not crazy about Klay.

[donzingis38]

Wow. It's finally done. Hoping we get a happy Klay. It's the only way he'll play well.

[omahen]

Waiting made us nervous but this is how you imho proffessionally execute a deal. Now lets hope it will work on the court

[KillerLeft]

Uh oh...IS it done?

[Fischer] The sign-and-trade framework that will ultimately send Klay Thompson to Dallas has a completed concept that would send Josh Green to Charlotte, sources said, but what goes back to the Warriors has not yet been finalized. Three years, $50 million was most Mavericks could offer.

Shams and Woj both say it is done, so I'm going to go with that.

[RoyTarpleysGhost]

[Slater] The Warriors haven't agreed to any Klay Thompson sign-and-trade to Dallas at this point, per sources. Could still happen, but negotiation/finalization would still be needed.

They're not going to extort Dallas for a 1st, right? 

RIGHT???!!!

[RoyTarpleysGhost]

It's gonna happen but I bet Golden State will try to get something else from us.

[RoyTarpleysGhost]

[Smith] (On Klay trade) A sign-and-trade has to be three years, before an option year. Something is awry here...

good point. Woj reported 3rd year as player option. that cant be right

[SwisherPrice]

Makes sense...Klay wants his starting spot and plenty of shots. He knows the Mavs were the best fit because he will get all of the same opportunities that THJ got
