If you want to say which team in the NBA is the most ill-fated team this season, it is undoubtedly the Mavericks in the West, the Mavericks were a team that reached the Finals last season, but this season the Mavericks have experienced major injuries in personnel trading, and the current Mavericks are undoubtedly a remnant and are dying.

One of the players on the current Mavericks team has mixed feelings, he turned down the contract extension offered to him by the Warriors in the offseason, and vowed to join the Mavericks, in order to be able to make a difference, in order to continue to step on the stage of the Finals. Now, instead of having lost the opportunity to realize his vision, he wasted a year in Klay Thompson.

Last offseason, the Warriors offered Thompson a contract for a larger amount than the one he currently has with the Mavericks. Thompson's approach was clearly too headstrong, he turned down a contract with the Warriors to join the Mavericks, it looked like he wanted to prove himself, and he left with a sentence that he thought the Mavericks were a better team than the Warriors. So much so that this sentence also angered his good brother Curry, so when the two sides met in the first game, Curry shouted "You should stay here" to the camera after winning the Mavericks.

Now that the value of that phrase continues to rise, the Warriors are currently in sixth place in the West after acquiring Butler. There is a good chance that they will not have to make the playoffs this season, but the fate of the Mavericks can be very different, and after losing Doncic, Irving recently suffered a serious knee injury, and the Mavericks are almost certain to miss this year's playoffs. So Thompson wasted another year of his time at this age, which is close to retirement. Recently, Thompson's father also said frankly about Thompson that his son is clearly in purgatory at the moment.

This is the impact of the wrong choice on a player's career. Thompson has suffered major injuries to both legs in his career, and this year's decline is also visible to the naked eye, and it is possible that his form will decline further by next year, and even he will fall out of the starting lineup. So it could be a better option if he stays with the Warriors. People have to pay for their impulses, and Thompson clearly pays for his impulsiveness and pride.
