Mavericks’ Offseason Bombshell: Team Nearly Signed Former Champion Over Klay Thompson
The Dallas Mavericks made headlines this summer when they signed Klay Thompson to a lucrative contract. However, according to sources close to the team, the Mavericks were seriously considering signing a different former NBA champion instead.
The team had extensive discussions with Danny Green, a veteran shooting guard who won championships with the San Antonio Spurs and Los Angeles Lakers. Green, known for his clutch shooting and defensive prowess, was reportedly the Mavericks’ top target before they ultimately decided to pursue Thompson.
While Thompson’s signing was seen as a major coup for the Mavericks, the team’s interest in Green raises intriguing questions about what could have been. Green’s championship pedigree and ability to stretch the defense would have been a valuable asset to the Mavericks.
In the end, the Mavericks chose to go with Thompson, who brings his own unique set of skills and championship experience to the table. However, the revelation that the team nearly signed Green instead adds a fascinating layer to the Mavericks’ offseason decision-making process.
