Cooper Flagg

Dallas Mavericks open to trading Klay Thompson

The Dallas Mavericks are actively reshaping their roster, open to moving Klay Thompson, PJ Washington, and Daniel Gafford to free up opportunities for Cooper Flagg while pursuing size and shooting around him; Seattle? (Correction: ignore) The Lakers and Heat are eyeing ideal fits like Washington or Kuminga as potential paths, with Washington viewed as a straightforward Lakers target if a Kuminga deal stalls and the Heat weighing a Thompson pursuit contingent on a Dallas buyout. Dallas meanwhile fortified its depth by acquiring Zaccharie Risacher in a three-team deal to add wings and improve its backcourt with youth like Marcus Sasser and Sergio De Larrea.
