Warriors’ Klay Thompson interested in teaming up with Luka Doncic on Mavericks?

It appears guard Klay Thompson’s extensive tenure with the Golden State Warriors could be reaching an end.

The sharpshooter is a rumored target for numerous championship contenders as an unrestricted free agent this offseason. The Dallas Mavericks are the latest team to join the mix, as the two parties are expressing mutual interest, according to reporter Marc Stein.

“The latest evidence of that: Amid a growing belief leaguewide that Thompson's relationship with the Golden State Warriors is irretrievable,” Stein wrote. “Strong mutual interest between Thompson and the Dallas Mavericks is expected when free agency opens Sunday evening, league sources tell The Stein Line.”

The Mavs reached the NBA Finals last season, where they fell short to the dominant Boston Celtics, but it’s clear they aren’t far off. While many are deeming Thompson washed, it’s hard to argue he’s completely lost his touch. He averaged 17.9 points on 38.7% shooting from 3-point range in 77 games last year.

The expected approach for Dallas would be to play Thompson at small forward alongside the superstar tandem of Kyrie Irving and Luka Doncic.
