## Resource

Dallas Mavericks are reshaping their roster with big trades and a strong draft class, but key decisions hang in the balance—especially for Klay Thompson and Daniel Gafford. With the arrival of young talent like Zaccharie Risacher, Thompson’s future suddenly feels more uncertain. Signed to a $50M deal to play beside Luka Dončić, Thompson’s value has plummeted since Luka’s trade, and his role is now threatened by Risacher’s need for minutes. While Thompson remains a dangerous shooter, the Mavericks likely want to trade him for assets—or risk a buyout if Miami (his rumored destination) can’t offer value. Gafford’s fate is simpler: trade or keep. With Risacher now on board, Thompson’s exit feels inevitable, making this one of the most pivotal offseason moments for Dallas.
