However, they were unable to make the playoffs. After the game, Thompson made an honest statement when he spoke to the media. Via Mike Curtis of The Dallas Morning News: "Klay Thompson was asked if he would've made the same decision to join the Mavs last summer knowing what he knows now: "Don't do this to me.
Don't do that to me. Don't do that. That's kind of a ridiculous question because I don't own a time machine & I don't believe in going back or looking back.
If I did that my whole career, I would not be where I'm at & I wouldn't have been able to persevere through two really hard injuries. I'm here in Dallas & I enjoyed my time & I'm looking forward to the future."" Thompson finished his first year in Dallas with averages of 14.
0 points, 3.4 rebounds and 2.0 assists per contest while shooting 41.
2% from the field and 39.1% from the three-point range in 72 games. The Mavs were the 10th seed with a 39-43 record.
Thompson has spent 14 years in the NBA with the Golden State Warriors (and Mavs)..
