Game 43: Dallas Mavericks (16-26) vs. Utah Jazz (14-27)

[KillerLeft]

Klay has been awesome the past three games.  He might not want out, but if he had the opportunity to play meaningful basketball on a playoff contender, there is zero chance he'd turn it down.

I think he's been pretty awesome for quite a while now. He had a rough start, but has quietly been playing pretty well ever since. I don't know if it's because he was moved to a bench role, or if that's just coincidental timing after his rough start, but I've found his play additive for several weeks, generally. It just isn't getting talked about around here much because the team has been so bad nothing like that is really interesting. We're all concerned with AD trades, tanking for a good pick, etc. 

I'd honestly be surprised if there weren't a few teams out there interested in Thompson for some shooting down the stretch. I just don't know that he or the Mavs are ready to throw in the towel on him playing here yet. I'm a little surprised by that, in a way, but I just haven't seen any indication of it out there.
