“My understanding is that Thompson would welcome a return to Los Angeles, where he spent part of his childhood and still owns a home. The Miami Heat are another team frequently mentioned in NBA circles as a potential landing spot for the future Hall of Famer," Clark reported.
Thompson spent the vast majority of his NBA career with the Golden State Warriors, winning four NBA championship as one half of the "Splash Brothers" alongside Steph Curry.
Thompson appeared in 72 games for the Mavericks in 2024-25, averaging 14 points per game on 41.2% shooting from the field. Through 69 appearances this past season, the 36-year-old shooting guard averaged 11.7 points per game on 39.3% shooting from the field.

Thompson discussed the idea of returning to Golden State during a Fanatics Fest event in New York City earlier this offseason.
“Shoot, I don’t know," Thompson said. "I’ve got one more year on my deal. It’d be nice to end it in Golden State.”
