Dallas Cowboys fans are teeing off on ESPN’s Adam Schefter because of the way he structured his tweet on the Klay Thompson blockbuster move.
Per ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski, Klay Thompson is signing a three-year deal with the Dallas Mavericks worth $50 million. Thompson spent his previous 13 years with the Golden State Warriors, leading the franchise to four NBA Championships over a four-year span (2015, 2017, 2018 and 2022).
Schefter shared the tweet from his ESPN colleague and wrote, “Dallas makes a move”, which seems harmless enough.
That seems harmless if you’re a non-Dallas Cowboys fan. But those poor supporters of the Cowboys were duped into thinking that Schefter was breaking news about the NFL franchise, and not the Mavericks:

It wasn’t the news that Dallas Cowboys fans had hoped for, but the signing of Klay Thompson is an exciting day for sports fans in Big D.
After the Cowboys were eliminated by the Green Bay Packers in the Wild Card Round, Dallas owner Jerry Jones stated that his team would have an “all-in” approach to the 2024 offseason.
So far, the Cowboys have yet to make a single blockbuster trade or free agent signing this offseason. Meanwhile, the Mavericks just signed Klay Thompson to bolster the offense after being embarrassed by the Boston Celtics in the NBA Finals.
At least one Dallas-based sports team is “all in.”
Klay Thompson Could Be The Difference-Maker For Mavericks
The Mavericks reached the NBA Finals with the dynamic duo of Luka Doncic and Kyrie Irving, but it was obvious that they didn’t have enough depth to get past Boston’s much deeper and more talented roster.
Well, adding one of the greatest three-point shooters and all-time clutch playoff performers in Klay Thompson just might be the final piece needed to help the Mavericks get their hands on a second NBA Championship.
Thompson may not be in his prime anymore, but he automatically becomes the third-best player on a Dallas team that can only use the NBA Finals loss as a learning experience.
