Klay Thompson, a historic multi-champion arrives in Texas
One of the most interesting signings for the 2024-2025 NBA season is undoubtedly that of Klay Thompson to the Dallas Mavericks. And we say this because the experienced three-pointer has what it takes to contribute to the squad led by Jason Kidd.
Now Klay's goal is to be able to adapt to the Mavs' system and be efficient from the perimeter. The advantage of this signing is that he will have the support of the duo formed by Luka Doncic and Kyrie Irving, which worked very well in the past playoffs.
Dejounte Murray, a dynamic point guard who can shine in New Orleans
The former San Antonio Spurs and Atlanta Hawks all-star arrives at the franchise with an established reputation as a strong, dynamic point guard. It is enough to know that he is a player with a lot of power and talent, he should adapt perfectly to the Pelicans' scheme.
Now, Dejounte Murray's goal is to be able to adapt to the game that the franchise has been showing over the past few seasons, which has been based mainly on what Brandon Ingram, CJ McCollum and Jose Alvarado can do. Special mention for Zion Williamson, who is a key player in the New Orleans project, but whose level is erratic due to his constant injuries and absences in several NBA games.
Paul George, the partner Embiid was waiting for?
The former Pacers, Thunder and Clippers player arrives in Philadelphia after an unfriendly departure from the Los Angeles squad. And we say this because they did not agree on the financial terms and "PG" decided to leave the franchise looking for new directions.
Now, Paul George's goal is to help Joel Embiid in the goal of turning the 76ers into a real threat to the reigning champions Boston Celtics. For the time being, he is expected to score between 15 to 25 points on average and contribute between 2 to 4 three-pointers or so per game.
DeMar DeRozan, an NBA veteran coming to the Kings from Fox and Sabonis
The former Raptors, Spurs and Bulls player arrives to a new franchise. And he does it with the firm objective of contributing all his experience in front of the rival hoop. Of course, in the California squad he will not have many shots at his disposal, but he will surely provide leadership and hierarchy in the key moments of the game.
For the time being, Sacramento is expected to qualify again to the Western Conference playoffs, as it has been able to build a good roster to achieve this goal. However, they will try to make up for the absence of Harrison Barnes, who left the Kings after several seasons and signed with the San Antonio Spurs.
Harrison Barnes and Chris Paul, the share of experience Wembanyama needs to shine in the NBA?
Both players already have several years of experience in the NBA and their goal is to provide experience to a franchise that has the future star of Frenchman Victor Wembanyama. If you want to bet, do not hesitate to check out our NBA predictions provided by our specialists.
