DALLAS—Klay Thompson is moving on from the Golden State Warriors, with the four-time league champion agreeing to join the Western Conference champion Dallas Mavericks and change franchises for the first time in his 13-year NBA career, two people with knowledge of the decision said Monday.

ESPN and The Athletic first reported the multi-team deal which, as currently constructed, will be executed as the sign-and-trade of a three-year, $50 million contract involving the Warriors, Mavericks, and Charlotte Hornets, said the people, who spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity because the agreement has not been announced. One of the people who spoke to the AP said final trade terms were still being worked out.
