Thompson on joining the Heat: My biggest goal is to win another championship.

August 28th - According to the Associated Press, Klay Thompson officially joined the Miami Heat. Thompson stated that the most important reason he chose to join the team was his desire to experience winning and competing for a championship again.

After being bought out by the Dallas Mavericks, Thompson quickly signed a two-year contract with the Miami Heat, with a player option for the second year. It is reported that Thompson gave up approximately $ 10 million in earnings to secure the opportunity to join Miami.

“I’ve tasted winning and championships before, and nothing compares to it,” Thompson said. “The ability to compete and win at the highest level again is incredibly appealing to me.”

In the new season, Thompson will play alongside Giannis Antetokounmpo, Bam Adebayo, and his former Warriors teammate Andrew Wiggins. As the fourth all - time leader in three-pointers made in NBA history, Thompson is only 74 three-pointers behind Ray Allen , who ranks third.

Furthermore, Thompson sees the new season as an opportunity to prove himself. "This is a redemption season for me, and I want to prove that I can still consistently contribute to winning," Thompson said. "This team has unlimited potential, and I can't wait to get to work."
