Klay’s move to Mavs comes as part of a multiteam ink-and-trade that will also send Dallas guard Josh Green to the Hornets. Dallas and Golden State are still working through details of the exchange, which will also feature Charlotte sending Mavericks two 2^nd-round selections for Josh. One of those selections could end up with the Warriors.

Klay had a 4-year offer with greater salary, but earning less was offset by the possibility of triumphing with 5^th title with Dallas as well as the taxes of the income in Texas compared to California.
