After two seasons in the Lone Star State with the Dallas Mavericks, Klay Thompson is on the move again. Following a buyout with the Mavericks, Thompson is set to join the Miami Heat. On Sunday, the Heat officially announced the addition of the former Golden State Warriors sharpshooter.
In two seasons with the Mavericks, Thompson averaged 12.9 points on 40.3% shooting from the field to go along with 2.8 rebounds and 1.7 assists per game. Thompson shot 38.7% from long distance on 7.7 attempts from the 3-point line per contest in Dallas.
Along with the addition of Thompson, the Heat made a splash in free agency with one of the blockbuster moves of the offseason, acquiring Giannis Antetokounmpo from the Milwaukee Bucks. The four-time NBA champ will now suit up alongside Antetokounmpo and Bam Adebayo in a new-look edition of the Heat.
Following Miami’s move to get Thompson to South Beach, the NBA world on social media caught fire with different reactions. Here’s a look at what fans and analysts were saying on Twitter about Thompson joining the Miami Heat.
