The Dallas Mavericks have officially acquired Klay Thompson and a 2025 second-round pick as part of the NBA’s first ever six-team trade for Josh Green and a future second-round pick. The trade is part of the first six-team trade in NBA history.
“We’re thrilled to have Klay join us in Dallas,” stated Dallas Mavericks General Manager Nico Harrison. “As one of the league’s greatest shooters who competes on both ends, we feel Klay is a perfect fit for our team. He adds a strong, experienced veteran voice that will help us continue to build on the success we’ve seen in recent years. Klay’s championship experience, clutch performances and calm demeanor under pressure exemplify what it takes to win in the NBA at the highest level. He will help us continue to grow towards our goal of winning another championship.”
