Thompson is said to be seeking a three-year deal at a minimum. The cap space teams are believed to prefer shorter contract structures than Thompson covets but can offset that with higher dollar amounts than teams like the Nuggets and Mavericks can muster. The Nuggets’ need for a two-way wing would be significant and obvious if Caldwell-Pope, as increasingly expected, does not return to the 2022-23 champions. Improving their outside shooting, meanwhile, is one of the Mavericks’ offseason priorities after they made the third trip in franchise history to the NBA Finals."
Klay @ min is a no-brainer. He takes over 6th man role from THJ.
