While there has been plenty of chatter this summer about Miami being interested in Klay Thompson, particularly if he’s waived following a buyout with the Mavericks, the veteran wing and Dallas aren’t currently discussing a buyout, according to Brett Siegel of ClutchPoints (Twitter link).
The regular season is important, but NBA legends are made in the playoffs. More specifically, it's the Finals where the all-time greats have built their otherworldly reputations.
Thompson still has one year left in the three-year, $50 million pact he signed to join the Mavericks.
Klay Thompson‘s future in Dallas remains uncertain, but Dustin Lewis of Mavericks On SI writes that the team has little reason to rush into a buyout. The Mavericks currently have 16 players under contract and will eventually need to make another roster move.

Family relations and roster business do not normally match up this seamlessly, but Klay Thompson, who is a guard playing for the Dallas Mavericks, seems to have managed this feat during this off-season.
Typically, the path to the NBA for most players is to spend at least a season in college to get high-level basketball and important development under their belts.

The Dallas Mavericks have put together an elaborate bounty package in hopes of landing Cooper Flagg’s one-of-one NBA Debut Patch autograph card from the newly released 2026 Topps Chrome Update Basketball set.
The NBA recently found itself arguing with a medical journal, and the league office doesn’t usually bother punching down at a sample size of nineteen unless something in the findings stings.
NBA veteran Klay Thompson only has one year and $17.4 million left on his contract, and there’s growing doubt that he’ll spend it on a rebuilding Mavericks team.
The chase for one of the most desired cards is on. Topps released its 1/1 Debut Patch Autograph card from Cooper Flagg's debut with the Dallas Mavericks, a game in which he had 10 points and 10 rebounds against the San Antonio Spurs.
The Cooper Flagg era is officially underway for the Dallas Mavericks. After a turbulent stretch that saw the franchise move on from Nico Harrison in May 2026, Dallas turned to Masai Ujiri to lead the basketball operation and Dusty May to replace Jason Kidd on the sideline.
An Anthony Davis extension should not require much discussion inside the Washington Wizards’ front office. Davis is eligible for a four-year deal worth approximately $275 million, but offering it before he plays a single game for the franchise would be an absurd gamble.

P.J. Washington has been linked to the Lakers for much of the offseason. Those links may be worth watching a little more closely. Marc Jacobs of Lakers Film Studio reported that Los Angeles and the Mavericks have held “advanced discussions” involving Washington.
The Dallas Mavericks announced Sunday that they signed forward Naji Marshall to a multi-year contract extension, keeping one of their most versatile contributors in place following his best NBA season.
