A Klay Thompson Buyout Would NOT Be About Basketball for the Dallas Mavericks

The Dallas Mavericks are reportedly weighing a Klay Thompson buyout as the Mavs sort out a crowded roster ahead of training camp. What would moving on from Klay mean for Cooper Flagg, Kyrie Irving, and the rest of this young Mavs core in the NBA's Western Conference?

Nick Angstadt (@NickVanExit) & Isaac Harris (@IsaacLHarris) break down why a Klay Thompson buyout could make sense for both Dallas and Klay, then preview what new head coach Dusty May's fast-paced, pass-heavy system will mean for the Mavericks this season. They also grade the Naji Marshall extension, debate whether Dereck Lively II is the Mavs' top All-Defensive Team candidate, and answer listener questions on Daniel Gafford's trade value, PJ Washington's fit, and a potential Christmas Day matchup. Mavs GM Mike Schmitz's ties to Dusty May come up too as the two preview what's next for Dallas.
