00:00And if we're looking at the Dallas Mavericks, I told you, in the opening stanza here of
00:07the early line for this morning show, I thought Klay Thompson to the Dallas Mavericks was
00:11the absolute perfect spot for the Splash Brother to land.
00:14And as you see that graphic there, a three year, $50 million deal for Klay Thompson to
00:20go from the Golden State Warriors over to the Dallas Mavericks.
00:23If we are looking at that anticipated starting lineup now for the Dallas Mavericks entering
00:27into the 2024 season, Luka Doncic, Kyrie Irving, PJ Washington, Daniel Gafford.
00:33And now you put into that small forward position, Klay Thompson.
00:36Now the question is going to be, we do know Klay Thompson of right now, it's not the Klay
00:40Thompson of 2017, 2018 and on.
00:44He's older, he's been injured and not quite the same player, but that doesn't mean that
00:48he can't be an efficient part of a machine that has a legitimate chance to be an NBA
00:54champion.
00:55We saw the Dallas Mavericks go last year into the NBA finals and came up a little bit short.
00:59They just didn't have enough firepower.
01:01So Ben, when we talk about the Dallas Mavericks making the move for Klay Thompson, he doesn't
01:05have to be the hero.
01:06He doesn't have to be the franchise savior.
01:08He just has to come in and play his part, which means play a little bit of defense,
01:12knock down your wide open three point shots.
01:14I love the fit here for the Mavericks and Klay Thompson.
