A Klay Thompson Trade The Atlanta Hawks Must Consider

Originally posted on Fastbreak on SI | By Ben Stinar | Last updated May 25, 2025 2:26 AM ET

Klay Thompson is coming off his first year playing for the Dallas Mavericks.

The future Hall of Famer finished the 2024-25 season with averages of 14.0 points, 3.4 rebounds and 2.0 assists per contest while shooting 41.2% from the field and 39.1% from the three-point range in 72 games.

I believe the Atlanta Hawks should make an attempt to land Thompson this summer.

The Hawks have a solid supporting cast around All-Star point guard Trae Young and Thompson could help take them to another level.

He would be able to play a similar role to how they used Bogdan Bogdanovic.

During the 2021 season, Bogdanovic shot a career-high 43.8% from the three-point range playing with Young and the Hawks.

A hypothetical deal could be centered around Terance Mann going to Dallas.

The 28-year-old is a solid all-around player who is also a better defender than Thompson (at this stage of his career).

If Mann was not enough to entice Dallas, the Hawks could also throw in the 22nd pick in the 2025 NBA Draft.
