Stephen Curry is ready to face a new era without Klay Thompson. All members of that legendary dynasty, including Draymond Green, were supposed to retire together, but, that wonāt happen for the Golden State Warriors.
Thompson didnāt feel valued by the teamās front office as he didnāt receive a big contract extension offer to stay in The Bay. According to Klay, it wasnāt the same treatment for him compared to Steph and Draymond.
āComing here is just a fresh start (Dallas). Feeling just wanted again, like I bring great value. It just gets me excited to go out there and work out. There were times last year where it was tough and it wasnāt as joyful as it was in the past.ā
This confirmed a report from ESPN which had already pointed out that Klay felt āmiserable during his final months with the Warriors. Thatās why he became a free agent and chose the Mavs. The star was so coveted that LeBron James wanted him in the Los Angeles Lakers.

āKlay heading to Dallas, itās tough. It does suck losing Klay. Thereās no two ways around it. Itās something that I never imagined would be a reality, but we want him to be happy. We want him to be able to enjoy the game of basketball. We would have loved to maintain the core and finish out together, but we obviously understand the league and how things change. So, you have to be able to celebrate what we accomplished and then be able to move on.ā
