Mavericks Clear Cap With Thompson Buyout as Biberovic Arrives
Dallas cleared cap space by buying out Klay Thompson (roughly $9.8M of his $17.5M 2026–27 salary), allowing the team to sit about $11.8M under the luxury tax with 15 standard contracts and providing more trade flexibility; Thompson will be paid about $13M by the Heat over the next two years. The piece also notes Thompson’s steady professionalism amid Dallas’ roster turnover, including a controversial reference to Luka Dončić being traded for Anthony Davis, and reports the signing of Tarik Biberovic to a two-year, $6M deal, with coach Schmitz praising his size and shooting ability and vowing further integration.
