The Dallas Mavericks Just CHANGED EVERYTHING... 

The MAVS roster is gonna be scary next year! I'm ready! Nico has created a team that players want to play for. I wouldn't be surprised if he makes another move. We are already WAY better than last year.

You'e spot on with saying their defence wasn't the problem. Game 5 of the finals they kept stopping the Celtics for long chunks of the game but couldn't hit a shot on the other end to save their lives.

3 good moves in one offseason. I have no idea who this team is anymore, lol

Ginobili took a 6 man role during his older years in the NBA. As one of the best shooters in the league this can increase the longevity of his career.

If you watched the Mavs-Celtics series, the Mavs lost because shots aren't just going in. It's a given that the Mavs defense in that series were average at best, but assists were not just converting. Can you imagine if Klay were already part of the roster in that series? I have a feeling Mavs could have won. Or at the very least bring it to 7 games.

The solution is to put one of the added wing defenders into the game and rotate Luka and Kyrie for most of the game until the fourth quarter. Luka and Kyrie can play defense because it really about effort. But if they do put out a big effort on the defense, they need to get more than six minutes of rest per game. Luka and Kyrie each can each run the offense by themselves and use either Marshall or Grimes to defend against the opponents point guard. Start games with Luka, Kyrie, and Klay, Lively, and PJ. Then in the second and third quarters rotate Luka for Kyrie, Marshall for PJ, Grimes for Klay. and Gafford for Lively. Also, if they get another guard that can defend that will help Luka and Kyrie have more energy for the end of games. The Mavericks need to get Luka to think about his long-term health, taking all the contact he does when he drives the lane twenty times per game leaves him beat up by the playoffs.

Lmao you had to remove the video of how "Klay" will change everything for the "Lakers" Now he got traded to the Mavericks lmao

The Splash Mavericks.

Game changer for sure. I think it'll make the mavs an offense to be reckoned with

We got depth at wing now, klay isn't going to have to play 40 minutes, which means he can be healthy when playoffs start. Klays going to get so many good looks from behind the arc. This team is going to be a nightmare to stop

The fact that they can still do more moves and stay below the first apron is ridiculous so just for anybody not aware they are 8 million below the first apron but they have 20 million in trade Clauses they can do

I said it first the mavs just gave birth to the splash triplets 😊😊❤

Let's go, Mavs! Welcome to Dallas Klay! Splashy Mavs! 3 future hall of fame players in the starting 5. Love it! Let's go, Mavs! I'm glad Klay Thompson will be on my favorite team, making them better! Woooh!

klay aint washed. a shooter will always be a shooter, look at ray allen, he was a different player til he found out he's a shooter.. klay would fit into mavs game, doesnt need to make plays, just free himself and boom!!

i think klay definitely starts but thats just how it might be, we'll have a ton of defense waiting on the bench and i think that the mavs should make some moves regarding kleber and that contract, and signing some players for cheap that could turn out impactful - similar to PJ, gafford, and DJJ

I think Klay wanted to be a starter, idk if that was apart of the deal or not, but that's what I assume will happen. Although I like your lineup better I think, balances out defense with Naji in the starting lineup

Season ticket holder!!!

I think it's an excellent move like all of the moves Nico made. I think they need another ball handler / creator with above avg defensive skills to actually take the ball from Luka & Kai at times and allow them to rest. So a better version of Exum would be really nice, I am not sure if Exum can elevate his game because of the poor playoffs performance, but when he was playing good the team really looked nice.

We need 1 guy off the bench who can go get a bucket on his own.

If we are able to get a saddiq bey for the rest if the 4 mill we have i would be ecstatic

Mavs fan here thanks for the video I gave you a like 👍🙂

For me thus is crazy cause its a good sign good for what we gave up still room to improve and get better

MORE MOVES, KEEP COOKING NICO!

I think Dallas begins the season with Klay as tbe starter, but there is a non zero chance they move him to a sixth man role, with either Grimes or Marshall playing the 2/3. The Mavs tend to do their first subs at around the 6-8 min mark. Luka tends to be the first sub, as to not wear him out too early.

a 50% Klay is still better than the 3rd scorer in Mavs. We dont need a prime Klay, we just need a 60-70% Klay playing 20-25min is enough. he's still a 38% 3pt shooter with 42% FG, one shite game doesn't dictate the entire season.

i think klay made it clear that he wants to be a starter in negotiation and bench him will make klay disgruntled

As a Mavs fan we hot better but it would help to have one more grrat point of attack defender may in offseason maybe at the trade deadline

On top of that, I hope DLive will start to utilize his shot more! Stretching the Hell out of the court!

I’m sorry but adding klay doesn’t change anything you can disagree with me but ever since he tore both acls he hasn’t been the same. Klay has been struggling last season. I dont believe this will change dallas

Klay is not coming off the bench 😂

Go Mavs

YES WAY - Mav's inept to bypass saddiq bey instead of klay is no surprise as bey is entering his prime whereas klay is way over the hill

We are going to the finals again, definitely!

In the contract he wants to start according to woj

MFFL BAYBEEEEEE

zero chance klay comes off the bench. but luka is a much better defender than he used to be. and our bench and big men will shut that shit down.

As a Warriors fan I feel sorry for you. Klank's reputation as a shooter is the only thing he brings to the table these days and even that is not consistent and in truth even in his prime it never was. He has always been a streaky shooter, able to get extremely hot but also go I don't know 0-10 in crucial games because despite being in the league for well over a decade shot selection has always been a weakness of his. He can't defend anymore except a little in the post but on the perimeter he is a traffic cone these days. He can't rebound and almost never boxes out. It's pretty obvious these days that his supreme athleticism in his prime was masking many flaws. His court awareness of team defence is actually very poor. I hope for your sake that a new team means he won't be so much of a cry baby and pouty bitch. The dubs were a poor team this season and it wasn't all his fault but every time Kerr subbed him back in the 4th there was a good chance we would lose the game even if we had a lead. If Kidd can get him to buy into a role as a bench shooter for 20 minutes a night that is about as good as it's going to get. When he plays heavy minutes his legs are gone real quick and it's brick city for the rest of the night.

Klay will start, r u crazy? But kidd woll find out how he likes his min managed and go from there. Naji and grimes will be a hell of a 2nd unit tho

We’ve got to get rid of Maxi Kleber

LOL! People put blinders on and refuse to see what right in front of them. Dallas isn't getting 2016 Klay. They are getting 2024 Klay! 0-10 Klay! Shooting your team out of games Klay! Bad teammate pouting on the bench Klay! I'm still trying to find myself Klay! By that third year they are going to be happy he's leaving Klay...If Klay was still all that the Warriors would not have let him go! If you think a change is going to bring Klay back to his old self...well...I've got my popcorn ready!

Warriors lost a great..

Daniel theis and then we done

Actually Mavs , Lakers and warrior might cant get a ring this year because of their terrible line up roster....

You people are lunatics, 😂 defense wins championships. They lost defense and didn't replace it with klay , the mavs are not getting anywhere near the finals next year.

THIS IS BS. This should not have happened.

Breh, Klay didn't sign in a city like Dallas to come off the bench. He's a starter or he wouldn't have signed.

dallas wont make it to the finals again with klay and people are just on a copium only diet

Klay is not the difference-maker he was a few years ago

Klay Thompson has been a negative for the past 4 years. At 34, it is unlikely he is going to be a positive.
