The Dallas Mavericks hit gold not too many weeks ago.
Klay Thompson may have been the Mavericks’ greatest-ever summer free agent acquisition.
This is one of the biggest free agency moves of the current season, according to several sports commentators.
Even more highly praised for Thompson’s transfer to a team that is ready right now is one sports insider.
Jay Williams says Mavericks got Klay Thompson at the perfect time
The Dallas Mavericks have the best opportunity to help Thompson secure his fifth championship.
ESPN NBA analyst Jay Williams recently commended both Thompson and the Mavericks, stating that this is the right move at the right time.

Thompson is a player who can effectively collaborate with Luka Doncic and Kyrie Irving to generate numerous scoring opportunities this upcoming season.
Dallas is poised for success following their free agency period. Their previous lopsided loss to the Boston Celtics in the NBA Finals can potentially be avoided with Thompson contributing as a 3-and-D player.
Last season was unusual for Thompson as he spent some time coming off the bench. If he were to fall into a slump, his energy off the bench would be invaluable.
The best strategy for Dallas is to utilize Thompson’s ability to shoot at a high percentage and play strong defense. Unlike his time with Golden State, where he was often the second option, Dallas offers more flexibility in his role.
Williams’ assessment is spot on when he highlights that Dallas made the right move at the right time, with the right coach. Although Jason Kidd has faced criticism throughout his career, he is currently at his coaching peak and likely has the best roster he has ever worked with.
