Klay Thompson and the Dallas Mavericks have agreed to a three-year, $50 million sign-and-trade with the Golden State Warriors facilitating. The Charlotte Hornets will acquire Josh Green from the Mavericks as part of the trade for two future second round picks.
Thompson was a first round pick by the Warriors in 2011 and they went on to win four titles together. Thompson, who is represented by Greg Lawrence, is coming off a five-year, $190 million contract agreed upon in 2019 following his ACL tear in Game 6 of The Finals. In 77 games last season, Thompson averaged 17.9 points, 3.3 rebounds and 2.3 assists while shooting 38.7 percent on three-pointers.
Thompson also strongly considered the Los Angeles Lakers. Thompson had four-year offers for more money elsewhere, but taking less was reportedly offset by an opportunity to win a title with Dallas and the difference in state income taxes.
Andrew Wiggins scored 27 points and Ricky Rubio made a career-high six 3-pointers to lead the Minnesota Timberwolves to a 111-105 victory in overtime over the Orlando Magic on Monday night. Karl-Anthony Towns had 23 points and 12 rebounds, Rubio added 22 points, eight rebounds and eight assists, and Wiggins forced overtime with a jumper with 10 seconds to play to help the Wolves win for the eighth time in 11 games. Elfrid Payton scored 21 points and Serge Ibaka had 17 points and 10 rebounds for the Magic, who came back from nine points down with five minutes to play to take the lead late in regulation.
