The Dallas Mavericks are in a tough spot with Klay Thompson as he finishes up the second season of a three-year deal that he signed in the summer of 2024. A lot has changed about the Mavericks since the time that contract was signed, with Thompson's hot shooting being one of the only constants.
He is one of the few players on the roster who gives Dallas consistent 3-point shooting. He has made 18 threes over his last four games while shooting 43.9 percent from deep on over 10 attempts per game. His ability to knock down threes at a high clip despite high volume is needed for a team that lacks shooting, but there are always two sides to the story.
