Thompson is an extremely exciting addition to the team because he is a four-time NBA Champion and one of the best shooters of all time.

Last season, he averaged 17.9 points, 3.3 rebounds and 2.3 assists per contest while shooting 43.2% from the field and 38.7% from the three-point range in 77 games (63 starts).

The Mavs have superstars Kyrie Irving and Luka Doncic, so Thompson will be able to get a lot of open looks.

They are coming off a year where they reached the NBA Finals for the first time since the 2011 season.

As for Nowitzki, he spent his entire 21-year career with Dallas.

He led the Mavs to the 2011 NBA Championship over LeBron James and the Miami Heat.
