Thompson left the Warriors this offseason after more than a decade and chose to join the Mavericks. It's also the league's biggest trade news this offseason. Recently, a well-known reporter in the United States talked about why Thompson chose to join the Mavericks, and also revealed some details at that time.

You must know that many teams are willing to offer Thompson a contract this offseason, such as the Lakers. The Lakers offered Thompson a four-year, $80 million contract, but Thompson did not choose to join the Lakers, and even Thompson did not choose to join the Lakers, which once disappointed his father. Because in his opinion, he thinks the Mavericks are more capable of competing for the championship.

And the Warriors have also made a two-year offer to Thompson before, which is also larger than the current Mavericks' contract. The reason why Thompson rejected the Warriors was partly because the Warriors were not sincere, and partly because he wanted to play a more important role and he didn't want to play as a bench with the Warriors. Because Kerr used Thompson to serve as a substitute for a long time last season, if he continues to stay with the Warriors, according to Kerr's style of employment, maybe Thompson will also face the role of playing as a substitute for young people.

So Thompson chose to join the Mavericks, partly because the Mavericks promised him a starting role, and he will serve as the Mavericks' starting small forward in the new season. On the other hand, the Mavericks will have a better chance of winning the championship than the Lakers, after all, they reached the Finals last season. Judging from the current situation, it is true that Thompson joining the Mavericks is the most suitable choice, and he can play more with the Mavericks.

When he was with the Warriors, Kerr's system revolved around Curry and Thompson. After coming to the Mavericks, Thompson can still get good open shooting opportunities, because Irving and Doncic are very strong breakers, and their two breakthroughs are bound to attract the opponent's help defense, and at this time, Thompson will get more open opportunities on the outside. Thompson's shooting percentage is still among the best in the league as long as he's in the open position, and he's just a dip in his ability to shoot against people.

If Thompson can win a championship with the Mavericks, his career championship count will increase to five. He will be the player who has played the most championships in the league today. This honor is still very attractive.
