The Athletic’s Anthony Slater reported Friday that the moves involving Thompson, Hield, Anderson would be a five-team trade. The inclusion of the Nuggets turned it into a six-team swap.
While Thompson agreed to a contract with the Mavericks last weekend, and the entire week was used to pay tribute to the iconic Warriors shooting guard, Saturday’s announcement officially marks the end of his 13-year Golden State tenure.
As part of Thompson’s move to Dallas, he is giving up his trusty No. 11, which belongs to Mavericks star Kyrie Irving.
