Klay Thompson is more than happy at Dallas Mavericks. He asked Stephen Curry to not request a renewal with the Golden State Warriors where he didn't want to continue, and now he talks about his new teammates Luka Doncic and Kyrie Irving as two players who can help him bring back his best defensive side, the one that some think he may never have again:
"It's very nice when you have offensive players as good as Luka and Kai, and you don't feel like you have to carry as much of the load on that side of the court, and I can return to defending as I have done in the past."
He believes he has a good connection with Irving from Team USA and hopes to develop it with Doncic as well: "The times we've played together, we've had great success with the United States team, so I'm really looking forward to recreating that chemistry with him. And when Luka comes back, it will be even better. It's going to be great."
AIMING TO WIN THE RING AGAIN
He has only one thing in mind, to win an NBA ring again: "That's a big reason why I came here, those two guys. I have big dreams and aspirations with this team. They were so close last year (to reaching the NBA Finals) and I truly feel we have everything we need. I'm more motivated than ever."
