One of the most significant moves of the NBA offseason went down on Monday afternoon, as the Dallas Mavericks landed future Hall of Fame sharpshooter Klay Thompson in free agency.

Patrick Mahomes NBA free agency kicked off Sunday afternoon, and the trades and signings have already been wild. One of the biggest signings happened on Monday when Golden State Warriors legend Klay Thompson signed a three-year deal to join the Dallas Mavericks.

But her mindset had to be the same as in last year’s U.S. Championships: “Let’s qualify, be conservative, safe, get through, and then get back to work.” Some 6 months post-surgery, she passed with flying colors, winning by 158 points at 6614.

I stayed off social media for most of the weekend, but wouldn’t you know it, the first few things I read when I got into my office Monday morning was the little beef between two teammates. Cowboys safety Malik Hooker was a guest on Keyshawn Johnsons’ podcast Thursday called All Facts No Brakes. He spoke for nearly an hour, and Johnson asked him about a whole host of Dallas Cowboys topics. Yet the one that is causing more pointless drama is what he said about Micah Parsons uhhh and the podcasting stuff.

The opening of the NBA offseason has been relatively quiet for the Miami Heat. Perhaps a bit too quiet. The team brought back forward Kevin Loveand lost free-agent guard Delon Wright to the Bucks. Neither move was earth-shattering, and given the way the rest of the Eastern Conference has shaped up, there is some concern about how far back from the top of the conference the Heat have slid. The loss of Wright, though, could mean an opportunity for incumbent point guard Patty Mills to stick around on a low-cost deal. That’s the view from beat reporter Ira Winderman of…

LeBron James has opted out of his contract with the Los Angeles Lakers for next season, his agent, Rich Paul, told ESPN’s Dave McMenamin, but he’s not expected to a free agent for long. According to Paul, James is willing to work with the Lakers on a new deal that would come in below the maximum three-year, $162 million deal he is eligible for in order to open up the full $12.9 million mid-level exception to allow general manager Rob Pelinka to sign an “impact player.”
