Paul George to sign with 76ers, Klay Thompson with Mavericks
While George is still playing at an elite level, Thompson isn't the all around player he once was, but his shooting skills will provide a major upgrade over what the Mavericks had in Tim Hardaway Jr. on the wing. Lebron James and the Lakers also attempted to get Klay, but he has chosen Dallas.
