Klay Thompson’s decision to sign with the Dallas Mavericks has caused some disappointment in the Thompson family, particularly with his father, Mychal Thompson. Mychal had hoped Klay would join the Los Angeles Lakers in free agency instead. Although he ultimately accepted Klay’s decision, he was hoping and praying that his son would finish his career with the Lakers.
Klay’s three-year, $50 million deal with the Mavericks marks the end of his successful tenure with the Golden State Warriors. Having won four championships with the Warriors, Thompson played a crucial role in the team’s dynasty alongside Stephen Curry and Draymond Green. Despite a slight decline in scoring output last season, he remains a valuable contributor to any team.
Klay’s decision to join the Mavericks was a tough one, especially with the Lakers being in consideration. Mychal tried to persuade his son to choose Los Angeles as he had played for the Lakers and won two championships with them. However, Klay ultimately chose Dallas where he will have an opportunity to play alongside stars like Luka Dončić and Kyrie Irving.
Although Mychal initially expressed disappointment over Klay’s decision, he has come to accept it and is happy that his son is content with his choice. While he had hoped Klay would play for the Lakers, he understands and supports Klay’s decision to join the Mavericks.
