planoweekly.news documented the Dallas end of Klay Thompson's path. Pleasanton readers can treat it as a Warriors-alum update without inventing Bay-only rumors or reunion offers.
Thompson spent his first 13 NBA seasons with Golden State, winning four championships as a five-time All-Star before the 2024 sign-and-trade to Dallas, ESPN and the Associated Press reported. On Friday the Mavericks agreed to a buyout of the final $17.5 million season of his contract (ESPN, Dallas Morning News, USA TODAY Sports).
Preferred sources did not report a Warriors offer, a Joe Lacob reaction, or any Bay Area signing path — and this file will not invent them.
What the wires say comes next
ESPN's Shams Charania reported Thompson plans a two-year, nearly $13 million Heat deal with a player option after clearing waivers. The AP said he intends to sign with Miami and may do so as early as Sunday if unclaimed. ESPN also wrote that he told the 26-56 Mavericks he wanted a contender and that Miami prioritized him after the Giannis Antetokounmpo trade.
Dallas production still on the résumé
Across two Mavericks seasons he played 141 games with 80 starts and averaged 12.9 points on 38.7% shooting from three, per the Morning News. He sits fourth all-time with 2,899 threes (ESPN/AP/DMN). Masai Ujiri's gratitude statement closed the Dallas chapter on the AP, ESPN, and Morning News wires.
