NBC Universal, Inc. “Dubs Talk” co-hosts Monte Poole and Dalton Johnson discuss Klay Thompson leaving the Golden State Warriors and the Bay Area to join Luka Doncic and Kyrie Irving with the Dallas Mavericks, and how it all could turn out for him.

Good morning, Dub Nation. Do you have your tissues handy? It's time to be sad.

Warriors superstar Steph Curry took to Instagram Tuesday morning to pay tribute to longtime teammate and fellow Splash Brother Klay Thompson, who agreed to sign a reported three-year, $50 million free-agent contract with the Dallas Mavericks on Monday.

Curry posted a heartwarming series of photos, capped off with a touching message to Thompson at the end.

So ... about those tissues.

Thompson's decision to leave the Warriors after 13 seasons likely was not easy, and Thompson reportedly requested Curry not to pressure the Warriors into re-signing him.
