Los Angeles Lakers' Shocking Offer for Klay Thompson Revealed
The Dallas Mavericks have reportedly landed four-time NBA champion Klay Thompson in a sign and trade agreement with the Golden State Warriors. Winning the Thompson sweepstakes that reportedly included strong interest from the Los Angeles Lakers, Dallas secures an elite three-point shooter with championship experience as they attempt to defend their Western Conference Championship and pursue an NBA title.
Lakers star LeBron James was reportedly very involved in his team's recruitment of Thompson, but came up short in his efforts to land the champion in LA. According to Chris Haynes of Bleacher Report, this was not due to a lack of commitment from the Lakers, as they were reportedly prepared to sign Thompson for $20M per season.
In the end, it seemed Thompson most valued a chance to compete for an NBA championship next season as a heavily featured offensive weapon, which is something Dallas can offer him at a much more certain degree than Golden State or Los Angeles, who are further from contention.Title: Credentialed writer covering the NBA for Sports Illustrated's FanNation Email: joeylinn52@gmail.
