Breaking News: Curry Sends Emotional Farewell to Thompson as He Leaves Warriors for Mavericks on Social Media

Curry fired Thompson from the Warriors via social media

The latest NBA trade shocked not only fans but also the players themselves, after it was confirmed that Klay Thompson would leave the Golden State Warriors starting next season, when he will put on the Dallas Mavericks jersey and become for the first time the rival of one of his best friends, Stephen Curry.

In an emotional message posted on his Instagram account, Curry expressed his feelings about his friend’s departure. “I will miss you Klay. Even though we won’t finish the journey together, what we did will never be done again. I couldn’t have imagined a better run with you and Draymond Green. You changed the way the game is played. Thank you for everything bro. Enjoy playing basketball and doing what you do. Splash Bros lives forever my brother,” the point guard wrote.

At the same time, he also used his stories to post more than a dozen images with Thompson. Throughout their career together, Curry and Thompson formed a legendary duo, known for their ability in three-point shots, and managed to win four NBA titles in the years 2015, 2017, 2018 and 2022.

In their 11 seasons together, they marked a golden era for the Golden State Warriors. The franchise won four championships during that period, and both players established themselves as two of the best shooters in NBA history.

Thompson’s departure did not go unnoticed by the franchise, which issued a statement filled with gratitude. “The amount of joy and happiness Klay provided to Warriors fans, Bay Area natives and Dub Nation followers around the world has been immense and cannot be understated… Klay’s legacy will live on forever and we look forward to the day we can retire his No. 11 jersey at Chase Center where he will join a host of Warriors immortals, including those who helped shape this dynasty, including himself.”

Now, the 34-year-old shooting guard will begin a new stage in his career with the Dallas Mavericks, after signing a three-year, $50 million contract. In this new stage, Thompson hopes to form a solid duo with Luka Doncic to compete in the Western Conference and seek a new title. Together with the Slovenian and Kyrie Irving, the veteran will have the opportunity to prove his worth and aim for a new crown.

Next season will be a significant one, as Thompson will not only have to adjust to a new team, but will also face the emotional challenge of playing against his former teammate and friend, Stephen Curry. Fans will be tuning in to every meeting between the Mavericks and Warriors, knowing that each game will be another chapter in the story of two of the greatest shooters the NBA has ever seen.

It is worth noting that Thompson had turned down a more lucrative offer from the Lakers, possibly motivated by a desire to prove to the Warriors that they were wrong to let him go. His decision reflects his commitment and desire to continue competing at the highest level in the NBA.
