Klay Thompson doesn\u2019t want to play the what-if game at the conclusion of the Mavericks\u2019 season.<\/p>\n
On Friday after the Mavericks lost their play-in game, 120-106, to the Grizzlies at FedEx Forum to end their season, Thompson was asked about his decision to join Dallas and if he still would have chosen the franchise when agreeing to the deal last summer if the 11-year forward had known what the team would endure this season.<\/p>\n
In a heated reply, Thompson said he thought the question was \u201cridiculous.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cYou can\u2019t do that to me. That\u2019s kind of a ridiculous question,\u201d he said. \u201cI don\u2019t own a time machine, and I don\u2019t believe in looking back. If I didn\u2019t have my whole career, I would not be where I\u2019m at, and I wouldn\u2019t have been able to persevere through two really hard injuries.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m here in Dallas, and I enjoyed my time, and I\u2019m looking forward to the future.\u201d<\/p>\n
\tKlay Thompson when asked if he would still join the Mavs knowing what he knows now\u201cDon’t do this to me.\u201d \ud83d\ude14h\/t @ohnohedidnt24pic.twitter.com\/iEE5pBTnnr\u2014 NBA Retweet (@RTNBA) April 19, 2025 <\/p>\n
When Thompson signed with the Mavericks in the offseason, he expected to play out the year with Luka Doncic and Kyrie Irving, who made a run to the NBA Finals last year. <\/p>\n
In the decision to move on from the Warriors to Dallas, Thompson also turned down more money from the Lakers, who are now the No. 3 seed in the West for the postseason.<\/p>\n
However, the opposite of what Thompson envisioned occurred.<\/p>\n
Doncic was traded in a dramatic overnight blockbuster to the Lakers as Anthony Davis was brought to Dallas.<\/p>\n
The trade shocked the league, and the Dallas fanbase was not at all pleased, leading to protests outside and inside American Airlines Center and the demand for ticket refunds.<\/p>\n
Shortly after the blockbuster swap, Irving suffered a season-ending ACL tear that instantly put the Mavericks\u2019 season into further question.<\/p>\n
This season, Thompson, with all the ups and downs Dallas had, averaged 14 points per game on 41 percent shooting across 72 contests.<\/p>\n
He also tallied 18 points in 32 minutes of Dallas\u2019 elimination game on Friday against Memphis.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
