According to reports from Vishvesha Kumar, a contributor to US sports media F/W. After a season separate, the proposed three-team deal could bring Thompson back to the Warriors home court and reunite with longtime teammates Curry and Green. The deal also ended the Warriors from the ongoing farce of Cumingga, which could also be the final period of the Warriors’ championship.

Klay Thompson's return to the Warriors

Thompson's departure last year's offseason is bittersweet. The sharpshooter defender parted ways with the team as a free agent after playing for the Warriors for 13 seasons, including four NBA championships. Ironically, his signing with the Mavericks is lower than the Warriors’ previous offer, citing a desire to start over. In Dallas, Thompson averaged 14.0 points, 3.4 rebounds and 2.0 assists per game, shooting 41.2% from the field and 39.1% from three-pointers, a stable but significantly weaker effect compared to his peak.

Now, things may be adjusting for a storybook reunion. The Warriors have had an active restructuring, acquiring Bartel at last season’s trade deadline and show they are in their current victory mode again. Thompson’s connection with Curry and Green is legendary, and his addition will help keep the franchise chemistry and give Warriors fans the chance to see the three retire together. This is the sentimental farewell that few dynasties can get. The Kings got the young star they wanted on the other hand, the deal provided clarity and ending for the Warriors on Kuminga's side. The 22-year-old forward, who averaged 15.3 points, 4.6 rebounds and 2.2 assists last season, shot 45.4% from the field and reportedly declined a renewal offer and expressed his dissatisfaction with the team's direction. Despite his talent, Kumingga's development has been hampered by inconsistent use and style conflicts with head coach Steve Cole's system. Sending him to the Sacramento Kings by signing and trading will bring a complete break.

Meanwhile, Kumingga still has huge two-way potential to thrive in a faster paced, freer offense. Brandon Williams averaged 8.3 points per game and provided the Kings with an underrated rotation but with room for improvement.

Mavericks increase the bench depth

As for Dallas, they got Monk, one of the league's most explosive substitute scorers. He averaged 17.2 points, 3.8 rebounds and 5.6 assists per game last season, and his ability to create offense will be seamless. For a team that is still shaking in a disappointing season, joining Monk helps complement their depth. The three teams started the new season with their own puzzles. Finally, the deal solved several problems in one fell swoop. It ends the farce story of Kumingga, bringing Thompson home, which is probably his last dance and improves the depth of the Kings and the Mavericks. It was an opportunity for the Warriors to chase the last ring along with the heart of changing the history of basketball, perhaps, ending their journey where it all started.
