Steve Kerr built one of the greatest dynasties in recent years with the Golden State Warriors. A fantastic team led by Stephen Curry, Klay Thompson and Draymond Green.

However, all good things come to an end and Klay decided it was time to move on. The famous Splash Brother will sign a three-year contract with the Dallas Mavericks to join an amazing roster featuring Luka Doncic and Kyrie Irving.

During the last few weeks, Kerr had been adamant with the team’s front office to let Klay Thompson retire as a Warrior. When the exit rumors started about LeBron James and the Los Angeles Lakers as an option, and the sudden appearance of the Mavs, the legendary head coach tried to keep the star in The Bay.
