Free agency has officially opened in the NBA and teams can start negotiating with free agents. One of the biggest names on the market is Golden State Warriors guard Klay Thompson. The Warriors have decided to not bring Thompson back, a key cog in their run in the 2010s and the other half of the Splash Brothers alongside Stephen Curry.
The 76ers will also be meeting with superstar Paul George and the Mavs could have a chance to beat anybody to the punch by making Thompson a priority. It's been reported he wants to feel respected and valued and Dallas could make a big impression in those meetings. If the Mavericks agree to a sign-and-trade with the Warriors, Josh Green and Maxi Kleber are two of the names that could be on the move. Dallas needs shooting and a third scorer, a role that Thompson could fill admirably. Thompson averaged 17.9 PPG this season while shooting 38.7% from 3-point range.Mavericks Trade Tim Hardaway Jr.
