Is Klay Thompson a Good Fit for the Mavericks? Is he Washed?

On July 1st nba vet and 4-time champion, Klay Thompson agreed to sign to the Dallas mavericks on a 3 year, $50M deal. This signing made headlines around the nba media because it is the 1st time in his 11 year career playing with a new team. Thompson was part of the Golden State Warriors dynasty that won 4 championships in a span of 7 years, and recorded the best regular season record in NBA history at 73-9. In his last season with the warriors, Thompson was less than efficient and due to this, saw his 3rd lowest playing time on average in his 11 year career. His poor efficiency led to a running narrative of the 5 time all star and future hall of famer being labeled as “washed.” Needless to say he was ready for a change. Similarly, the Dallas Mavericks, fresh off of a finals loss vs Boston was ready for a change in their roster that involved adding more offense to support their stars Luka and Kyrie. Is Thompson a player that will fit the Mavericks? Let’s discuss why and why not.
