Klay Thompson was reportedly close to joining the Los Angeles Lakers before eventually signing with the Dallas Mavericks.
Despite receiving a more lucrative contract offer from the Lakers, Thompson was convinced by conversations with Kyrie Irving and Luka Doncic to choose Dallas.
Mychal Thompson, Klay's father and former Lakers player, expressed that finishing his career with the Lakers would have been perfect for his son.
Klay Thompson's decision saw him signing a three-year, $50 million deal with the Mavericks.

Marcus Smart talks about the #Lakers' trouble on defense:
"The scouting report against us is we're not guarding people. And if we want to be great in this league and do what we're trying to do, you have to be able to guard."

Dalton Knecht will once again be shopped by the #Lakers to find an upgrade to their rotation. 😬
There is no doubt that the talent is there, but Knecht has been struggling to find a consistent spot in JJ Redick's system this season.
Per @esidery
Vando might finally be getting minutes soon 👀
JJ Redick: "If these defensive struggles continue, he'll definitely get his opportunities."
