À propos de cet audio
Klay Thompson has been at the center of NBA headlines this past week, with news swirling about his immediate future following a rocky debut season in Dallas and his association with both the Mavericks and his iconic Warriors past. According to Sports Illustrated and multiple analysts, the idea of Thompson making a dramatic return to the Golden State Warriors has gained serious traction. The suggested scenario involves the Warriors trading Buddy Hield and sophomore forward Trayce Jackson-Davis to the Mavericks in exchange for Thompson, reigniting the famed “Splash Brothers” partnership with Stephen Curry for one last championship push. As Ryan Shea from SI puts it, Thompson’s chemistry with Curry and Draymond Green remains unique, and despite being 35 and showing signs of statistical decline—his 14 point average last season was his lowest since his rookie year—teams across the league still covet his near 39 percent accuracy from behind the arc and playoff experience.
On the Dallas side, the atmosphere is tense. Jason Kidd, the Mavericks coach, hinted at lineup changes on a recent team podcast, specifically envisioning Cooper Flagg moving to shooting guard. That could push Klay to a bench role, something he vocally disliked in his final year at Golden State. Mavericks media and insiders warn that shifting Thompson out of the starting lineup might spark the same discontent and trade requests he showed before leaving the Warriors. Adding to the pressure, Dallas is reportedly preparing a $90 million extension offer to versatile forward PJ Washington—seen as essential after past regrets about losing Jalen Brunson in free agency. With Cooper Flagg and Anthony Davis cemented as untouchables, Thompson’s name is increasingly floated in trade discussions as Dallas aims to balance championship ambitions and future planning.
On social media, any whisper of a Splash Brothers reunion sends Warriors fans into nostalgia-fueled excitement. NBA Fantasy sites and Twitter lit up with mock-trade breakdowns, often celebrating the potential for another ring chase and echoing legendary status for Klay if he returns to the Bay Area. Meanwhile, the Mavericks base is torn—some see Thompson’s elite shooting as indispensable with Irving out to start the season, while others brace for the long-term impact of getting younger and giving developmental talent a spotlight, as recounted in The Smoking Cuban.
Thompson’s sponsorships, especially his long-running association with the Anta brand and visibility in China, remain steady, though no major new deals were announced this week. Beyond basketball operations, the dominant narrative is whether Klay Thompson rides into retirement alongside Curry, or becomes a trade piece as the Mavericks navigate their post-Luka Doncic reality. At 35, with legendary status secured but role uncertainty rising, Thompson is a living symbol of NBA transition—he could either spark a last Warriors run or become the centerpiece of Dallas’s ongoing roster shuffle. If speculation becomes action, this will be a biographical milestone for the four-time champion.
