By SCHUYLER DIXON and TIM REYNOLDS 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 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 publicly announced.

The Colorado Avalanche has found a way to keep Jonathan Drouin. One of the great comeback stories in the NHL last season, Drouin is returning to the Avalanche on a one-year contract worth $2.5 million, a league source confirmed Monday morning.

Drouin not only became a key offensive contributor for the Avs, but earned praise for his improved two-way play and the trust of coach Jared Bednar to play big minutes as the season progressed. Keeping Drouin was a top priority for the Avalanche this offseason.

Sean Keeler: Russell Westbrook? Tell ya what — compared to Reggie Jackson, he’s an upgrade. But compared to Kentavious Caldwell-Pope? I don’t know, man. The two finishing pieces, the two 3-and-D guys who turned an already good Nuggets roster into a title-winning one two years ago are now gone. The first defection, Bruce Brown, was never truly replaced.

Federal antitrust investigators are scrutinizing the Denver-based Alterra Mountain Company’s pending acquisition of Arapahoe Basin, one of Colorado’s last ski areas independent of corporate resort empires. Alterra officials characterized it as a “customary” review that the U. S. Department of Justice requires for large transactions. The investigators have asked for business data on skiers at resorts across the Rocky Mountain region from the National Ski Areas Association. Department of Justice officials were mum.
