Washington on playing with Thompson: “He’s a guy who can be a leader on the team”

Washington welcomed Thompson’s move.

The Golden State Warriors were a dominant force in the 2010s. They won the title in the 2021-2022 season and showed that they are still going strong. The team was built around Steph Curry (6-foot-8, G), Draymond Green (6-foot-9, F), and Klay Thompson (6-foot-9, G).

Thompson has been in a Golden State uniform since the 2011-2012 season. He averaged 12.5 points per game in his rookie season and became the centerpiece of the team in his second season. Five All-Star selections, two All-NBA teams, and four championships. All of these accomplishments came with Golden State. In 793 career games, he averaged 19.6 points, 3.5 rebounds, 2.3 assists, 사설 토토사이트 and 41% from three-point range.

However, his last two seasons have been a bit different. In 2022-2023, the team was eliminated in the second round of the playoffs, and in 2023-2024, the team finished the season in the play-in tournament. Along the way, Thompson was criticized for not playing up to his potential and was a major contributor to the early end of the season.

Upon reaching free agency, Thompson opted to move rather than stay, and his destination was the Dallas Mavericks. Dallas reached the Finals last season with Kyrie Irving (6-foot-8, G) and Luka Doncic (6-foot-10, G-F). They are aiming to go even higher by adding more shooters.

Thompson’s move has garnered a lot of attention. Not only because it’s a franchise star, but also because it’s a way for Dallas to add depth. Recently, Dallas star forward PJ Washington (201 cm, F) spoke about the Thompson trade, telling Clutch Point: “I think it”s a great move. I think he can be a leader on our team, especially a guy with a lot of championship experience. There is so much to learn from a player like him. I’m looking forward to the ‘winning mentality’ he will bring. It will be a great addition to our team.”

In addition to Thompson, Dallas also added Najee Marshall (6-foot-9, F) and Spencer Dinwiddie (6-foot-8, G) to its roster. It will be interesting to see if Dallas can make a difference next season after falling short of the championship last season.
