He once had a guaranteed 40% three-point shooting percentage, but now it s only 26.4%. Tang Shen may change clubs again.

Klay Thompson was once the most stable shooter in NBA history, and his stability even surpassed that of his old partner Stephen Curry. In the first eight seasons of Thompson's career, his three-point shooting percentage remained above 40%. At that time, no matter how crazy Thompson played in the offseason and struggled at the beginning of the season, as the schedule progressed, he could find his all-powerful "Buddha's Light" form. By the end of the season, it was another mediocre season with a guaranteed three-point shooting rate of 40%. However, after suffering two serious injuries, Clay was limited by lack of leg strength and the stability of his shooting dropped significantly. However, he was able to maintain an average level anyway. As a result, Tang Shen encountered the biggest crisis since joining the workforce in the new season - he seemed to have completely lost his proud long-range shooting ability.

The Mavericks met the Grizzlies, who were also in poor shape, and lost ugly by a full 14 points. Thompson, who came on as a substitute for the second consecutive game, made 0 of 6 sports games and failed to hit a single goal in 5 attempts from beyond the three-point line. For the seventh time in his career, he suffered the embarrassment of scoring zero points. This is not the first time Tang Shen has been so ridiculous this season. His scoring average has plummeted to 7.6 points, his shooting percentage has dropped to 31.6%, and his three-point shooting percentage has dropped to 26.4%. Not to mention the fans' ideas, I'm afraid the proud Thompson himself can't accept it.

In the post-game interview of the last game, Thompson talked about being removed from the starting lineup. He told reporters: I don't mind coming off the bench, I will achieve something, and I firmly believe that day will come. As a result, as soon as he finished speaking, Clay made such a big move. How could he feel embarrassed? What's more, as the famous reporter Brady Siegel said, Thompson was unwilling to stay in the Golden State Warriors because he could not accept his status as a substitute. The Mavericks gave him a starting promise, so Clay was willing to accept less money and leave Dallas. Now, I don’t know if Clay will regret it. If he had known that there would be a substitute, he might as well have stayed in the Bay Area. At least Curry and Dream Chasing would support him behind him.

However, at this point, Tang Shen may have to accept the reality, and he must be mentally prepared - at this stage of his career, he may have to embark on a wandering journey. Siegel pointed out in the report that it is no secret that the Mavericks management, led by general manager Harrison, is evaluating Klay's potential trade value. Before the trade deadline, Clay is likely to be packaged with Gafford and sent to other teams. At the moment, Tang Shen can’t blame the Mavericks for being unsympathetic, nor can he blame the previous starting promise that turned out to be a bad check. He can only blame him for not being the “Buddha” he used to be. Without the three-point threat, Clay is like a lion without sharp teeth. After this contract, whether he can get a veteran’s basic salary is a question.
