The Golden State Warriors and Klay Thompson have officially parted ways. The four-time NBA champion is now joining the Dallas Mavericks.
According to a recent article by Gary Washburn of The Boston Globe, a major disagreement between Thompson and the Warriors played a big role in the split.
Washburn explained, "Thompson, despite missing two full seasons with injuries, felt he was nearly the same player he was before and the Warriors didn’t agree.

Thompson felt he should have been given a four-year deal like Draymond Green and Andrew Wiggins, even though neither has met expectations."
Thompson had multiple talks with Warriors head coach Steve Kerr about not chasing his former self and focusing on who he is now.
