Something big is brewing in Dallas Mavericks. The signing of Klay Thompson may have been the vital catalyst to provide this team with the necessary pieces to conquer glory. Just within one game, we have already seen how the permanent threat from the perimeter of one of the greatest shooters in history will influence the gameplay.
Finding one's footing in a new team is not easy, even when you are Klay Thompson, but this seems to be what has happened with the legendary shooter upon his arrival at Dallas Mavericks. Despite struggling with accuracy during preseason, once the competition started, the best version of the Splash Brother emerged. There will be days when shots fall and others when they don't, but what has become crystal clear is how he will impact the game.

The signing of Irving over a year ago marked a new chapter in Dallas Mavericks, who have managed to complete the puzzle in the best possible way. Two ball-handling geniuses needed a center with great rebounding ability and a good touch, like Gafford, as well as a power forward capable of efficiently opening the court and defending, which is the case with PJ Washington.
Having filled those positions, the next step was to find a player to stretch opposing defenses and force them to guard the perimeter, paving the way for Doncic and Irving to drive in. Both will play much more comfortably with additional space on the court, confident that a high percentage of shots released by Klay Thompson will find the mark. Great prospects for these Dallas Mavericks.
