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). As Siegel notes, the Mavs have explored trades involving Thompson, but nothing has come together on that front. Thompson made five straight All-Star teams during his prime and helped Golden State make five consecutive NBA Finals appearances during that same stretch, which included three championships. Thompson’s numbers have fallen off considerably over that span, and they were at career-worst levels in multiple categories this past season, including points (11.7), rebounds (2.1), assists (1.4) and minutes (21.7) per game. It’s unclear if the Mavericks have plans to retain Thompson after adding several younger players to provide outside shooting.
