The Los Angeles Lakers are set to miss out on Klay Thompson, who is expected to sign with the Miami Heat after a buyout from the Dallas Mavericks. The financial terms of the buyout remain undisclosed, but Thompson’s addition was seen as a potential boost for the Lakers, who struggled with three-point shooting last season. Thompson, familiar with the Lakers due to his father’s history with the team, made 202 three-pointers at a 41.4% rate last year. His brief tenure with the Mavericks ends before the final year of his three-year, $50 million contract.
