On Sunday, the Dallas Mavericks played the Cleveland Cavaliers in Ohio.

The Mavs got blown out, losing by a score of 144-101.

After the game, Klay Thompson was asked for his thoughts on the blockbuster trade that sent Luka Doncic to the Los Angeles Lakers.

Thompson (h/t Mike Curtis of The Dallas Morning News): “I wish Luka the best. It was a joy to play with him in those 22 games we were together, but we’re gonna obviously welcome AD with open arms. Obviously, one of the best players ever. Being top-75. It’s the nature of the business, you have to be professional about all things in front of you. I look forward to keeping the goal the same.”

Thompson signed with the Mavs over the offseason after 13 years in Golden State.

Playing next to Luka Doncic was a big reason why the move made a lot of sense.

That said, adding Anthony Davis to a team that has Kyrie Irving (and Thompson) makes them very capable of being a title contender.

Via Mavs PR: “The Dallas Mavericks announced today that they acquired 10-time All-Star Anthony Davis, guard Max Christie and a 2029 first-round pick from the Los Angeles Lakers in exchange for guard Luka Dončić, forward/center Maxi Kleber and forward/center Markieff Morris.”

Thompson is currenty averaging 13.5 points, 3.4 rebounds and 2.0 assists per contest while shooting 41.2% from the field and 39.0% from the three-point range in 43 games.

With the loss, the Mavs dropped to 26-24 in 50 games, which has them as the ninth seed.
