Klay Thompson, a cornerstone of the Golden State Warriors for 13 years, recently bid farewell to the team. His move to the Dallas Mavericks via a three-team sign-and-trade deal worth $50 million marks the end of an era. However, what stands out is Thompson’s unique request to his superstar teammate, Stephen Curry, during the negotiations.

Rather than urging Curry to use his considerable influence with the front office, Thompson took a different approach. He requested that Curry refrain from demanding favorable treatment on his behalf. Thompson wanted the Warriors to decide based on their genuine desire to keep him, not because they felt pressured by Curry’s intervention.

The Warriors’ Dilemma

Thompson’s unrestricted free agency had been a hot topic for the Warriors over the past year. Despite winning four championships with the team, Klay Thompson sensed that the front office was exploring new directions. His request to Curry reflected his selflessness and trust in the organization’s intentions.
