Klay Thompson is a significant target for the Miami Heat, regardless of LeBron James’ decision, as he would fulfill their need for shooting and size on the wing. The Dallas Mavericks prefer to trade Thompson, who is owed $17.5 million in the final year of his contract, rather than buy him out, although a buyout could involve a pay cut in exchange for part of Miami’s midlevel exception. Miami is also considering other wings, including Bradley Beal and DeMar DeRozan, as they navigate their roster needs.
