Social Media Reacts to Klay Thompson's Departure for Dallas: "LeBron Offered a Pay Cut and Nobody Cared"

The Splash Brothers era is over in Golden State. After Klay Thompson has agreed to a contract with Dallas, leaving Golden State in further disarray. The four-time champion joins Luka Doncic and the Mavs as a quintessential catch-and-shoot threat that the Mavs could surely use.

Check out the initial reaction on social media to the news.

Klay Thompson missed more than two seasons due to injury and still returned to bring the 2022 title to Golden State 👏

LeBron offered a pay cut and no one cares, I’m crying

The Mavs went to the Finals and Nico added Klay Thompson, Quentin Grimes, Naji Marshall and didn’t give up any of their first-round picks. And they still have $4 million to spend on a replacement. Big thanks to Nico Harrison. pic.twitter.com/lTUaXmdFj3

A big salute to Klay Thompson who joined the Mavs, and a salute to all the NBA free agents who are making wise career choices to NOT go through the LeBron process. pic.twitter.com/my2sV1LmmC

Don’t let Klay Thompson’s departure to the Dallas Mavericks distract you from the fact that he went 0/10 in a single-elimination game. 😭😭
