Wow! LeBron James and Klay Thompson! The Warriors are assembling a veteran squad.

At 36, Thompson's form has clearly declined. The Mavericks put him on the trade block early and have no intention of a buyout, only seeking a trade. His 25-26 season stats are as follows:

He played 69 games with 8 starts, averaging 21.7 minutes, 11.7 points, 2.1 rebounds, 1.4 assists, and making 2.9 three-pointers per game at 38.3% shooting. His salary next season, which is a contract year, is $17.46 million.

Reporter Sidery stated: The Heat, who have a top-tier frontcourt but lack shooters, are very interested in Thompson.

Bringing his talents to Miami to team up with Giannis would give Thompson a chance to chase his fifth career championship ring. Either way, that's better than wasting time with the rebuilding Mavericks.

American reporter Fischer reports: Both Thompson and the Warriors are excited about a reunion, especially with LeBron James joining the Golden State.

Thompson spent 13 years with the Warriors, giving his prime to the team. They parted ways in the summer of 2024, and many still regret it. If they can reunite, it would be a wonderful comeback story.

The potential core lineup for the Warriors next season is as follows:

Draymond Green (36), Stephen Curry (38), Klay Thompson, LeBron James (41), and Jimmy Butler (36) — five All-Stars whose combined age is 187, averaging 37.4 years old.

Oh, and on the bench there's also the 40-year-old Al Horford...

No team will dare to "touch" the Warriors next season because they can't afford to (manual doge).

If the Warriors successfully acquire both LeBron and Thompson to form an unbeatable luxury veteran squad, it may not necessarily improve their record, but with nostalgia alone they would at least maximize traffic and rake in huge box office revenue. The owner would be so thrilled that he'd gargle with 1982 vintage red wine every morning.

Last season, due to injuries and other reasons, the Warriors only had a 37-45 record in the regular season, finishing 10th in the Western Conference, and failed to advance from the play-in tournament, thus missing the playoffs.
