Matthew Roberts+FollowWhat's really going on with Klay?Klay’s numbers in Dallas have been rough this season, averaing 8.1 PPG, 31.8% FG, and 26.2% from 3. This is the same guy who, just a couple years ago, was automatically 20 PPG on 45/40/85 splits. So what happened to him, the former definition of 3D player? And do you think he can find his old self back? #KlayThompson #Mavericks #NBA #Basketball #SplashBrother #Dallas 7164Share
Nicholas Buchanan+FollowMavs are considering trading KlayMultiple U.S. outlets are reporting that the Dallas Mavericks are exploring trade options for Klay Thompson before the mid-season deadline. According to ClutchPoints’ Brett Siegel, the front office wants to gauge Klay’s market value after a rough start — 8.5 PPG on 29.2% from three, the lowest marks of his career. He’s also been moved to a bench role for the first time in years. Klay’s response to this is still professional: “I’ll make great performances… big things are coming,” he told reporters. Coach Jason Kidd said the move to the bench is temporary and meant to “spark the team.” Meanwhile, Klay’s relationship with rapper Megan Thee Stallion has drawn plenty of media attention, though there’s no real evidence it’s affecting his play. #KlayThompson #Mavericks #NBA #TradeRumors #Basketball #MeganTheeStallion #Dallas 161Share
Edwin French+FollowTwo Weeks In: “Championship-Caliber” Mavs Sit Dead Last in the WestAfter trading Luka Dončić last February for what GM Nico Harrison called a “championship-caliber team,” the Mavericks are off to a nightmare start. At 2-6, Dallas ranks last in the NBA in both Offensive Rating (103.6) and PPG (107.3) after losing to the Pelicans tonight. Harrison’s defense-first vision hasn’t clicked — even with stars like Anthony Davis, Kyrie Irving, and Dereck Lively II sidelined, the offense has looked historically stagnant. Last season they finished 39-43 and barely reached the play-in. This season? They’re dead last in the West — and running out of excuses. #Dallas #Mavericks #NBA #NicoHarrison #Lakers #LukaDoncic #NBANews #Basketball120Share
