Sharpe: "How were you able to convince Klay to come to Dallas? When his dad wanted him to go to L.A., he grew up as a Lakers fan; Kobe was his idol; how did you convince him? Join us in Dallas." Cuban: "Credit goes to Nico and Kyrie and J-Kidd. They know him, they've played with him, they understand him... They went out and spent time with him, got to know him better and I think Klay was ready for a move... The timing was right. Kudos to Klay for being willing to make the move and kudos to Nico, J-Kidd and Kai for making it happen."
