Klay Thompson signs with Heat on two-year deal, chasing historic 3-point mark

Klay Thompson cleared waivers and signed with the Miami Heat on a two-year, $11.5 million contract (second year a player option with a 15% trade kicker). The 36-year-old sharpshooter, who is fourth all-time in 3-pointers with 2,899, needs 75 more to pass Ray Allen for third, and is expected to boost Miami’s spacing for Bam Adebayo and, per the article, Giannis Antetokounmpo as part of a revamped Heat. Thompson spent the past two seasons with the Mavericks in a bench role before a buyout ended his stint; the Heat aim to contend for championships this season.

Adebayo Sends LeBron a Fiery Text After King Chooses 76ers Over Heat

LeBron picks 76ers; four teams pivot as Warriors, Cavs, Heat, and Wolves regroup

LeBron James signed with the Philadelphia 76ers on a two-year minimum, ending a long free-agent chase that left the Golden State Warriors, Cleveland Cavaliers, Miami Heat, and Minnesota Timberwolves to rebuild without an immediate LeBron upgrade. The Warriors’ championship window feels closed and they’ll likely pursue a cautious, depth-focused retool; Cleveland faces a thinner rotation and uncertain direction after chasing LeBron; Miami plans a slow, flexible build while eyeing selective veterans to boost shooting and playmaking; Minnesota will fill its final roster spot with a forward-by-committee approach and consider midseason moves. In short, no obvious savior is coming for these four teams, while Philadelphia’s arrival of LeBron reshapes the Eastern landscape.

Heat's accidental leak sparks LeBron James free-agent chatter

The Miami Heat briefly posted—and then deleted—a YouTube link labeled LeBron James Introductory Press Conference, fueling fan speculation about LeBron James's future. The Miami Herald dismissed the video as invalid, and ESPN’s Shams Charania said the post was likely a mistaken draft by the team's social-media staff while preparing for a possible signing. James, 41, is entering his 24th NBA season and has been linked to several teams since saying he wouldn't return to the Lakers; the Heat remain among the potential suitors as the offseason unfolds.
