Complete breakdown of Klay Thompson's blockbuster sign-and-trade move to Dallas Mavericks feat. 6 teams

The NBA completed its first-ever six-team trade involving Klay Thompson, Buddy Hield, Kyle Anderson, other players and multiple second-round picks and pick swaps. It was a complicated trade due to the picks, but all teams involved have signed off on the historic deal.

The six teams involved are the Dallas Mavericks, Golden State Warriors, Philadelphia 76ers, Charlotte Hornets, Minnesota Timberwolves and Denver Nuggets. The blockbuster trade also used six second-round picks, one of which was a pick swap.

Here's the breakdown for the entire trade:

• The Dallas Mavericks acquired Klay Thompson from the Golden State Warriors and a 2025 second-round pick from the Charlotte Hornets.
• The Minnesota Timberwolves acquired a 2025 second-round pick from the Charlotte Hornets, which will be either the Denver Nuggets' or Philadelphia 76ers' 2025 second-round pick, whichever is favorable. They also got a 2031 second-round pick swap and cash from the Golden State Warriors.
• The Golden State Warriors acquired Buddy Hield from the Philadelphia 76ers and Kyle Anderson from the Minnesota Timberwolves.
• The Denver Nuggets acquired cash from the Charlotte Hornets.
• The Charlotte Hornets acquired Josh Green from the Dallas Mavericks, and Reggie Jackson, a 2029 second-round pick and a 2030 second-round pick from the Denver Nuggets.
• The Philadelphia 76ers acquired a 2023 second-round pick from the Dallas Mavericks.

Klay Thompson will bring shooting and championship experience to the Dallas Mavericks. Thompson won't have any problems adjusting his game to play with Luka Doncic and Kyrie Irving. He will just need to stand in the corner or at least move without the basketball and find an open basket.

Doncic and Irving will do their thing – isolate and score or isolate and find an open man from beyond the arc.

On the other hand, the Golden State Warriors have overhauled their roster post-Klay Thompson. Buddy Hield replaces his three-point shots, considering he's the leader in three-pointers made in last the five seasons ahead of Steph Curry.

Kyle Anderson is a perfect complementary player off the bench who can mimic Draymond Green's production for the second unit. As for the Charlotte Hornets, they get a young wing in Josh Green and a veteran backup point guard in Reggie Jackson.
