首先是談到前東家勇士隊，Thompson說：「我對勇士隊感到非常的感激，但我感覺是時候重新自我，在剩餘的職業生涯做點特別的。」
"I'm very grateful for my time at Golden State, but I just felt like moving on could just re-energize me, and do something special for the rest of my career."

另外也有談到為獨行俠可以帶來什麼幫助，Thompson說：「在我職業生涯的這個階段，你仍然不能讓我處於空檔。而且我可以防守，我知道我可以幫助這支球隊，無論是我獲得的經驗還是需要我大量得分，我仍然知道我可以在這個聯盟中是非常優秀的球員。」
"At this point in my career, you still can't leave me open. And I can guard... I know I can help this team whether it's the knowledge I've gained or big scoring nights. I still know I can be a very, very good player in this league."

Thompson也向獨行俠球迷打招呼，表示穿上31號球衣有向Jason Terry致意味道，就是要在獨行俠拿到冠軍，這是他來到獨行俠所計畫要做的事情。不過Thompson表示最主要穿上31號原因還是因為致敬Reggie Miller。

“I got my new threads. Number 31. Just like the JET (Jason Terry) who got a chip in this same number. That’s what I plan to do”.
