One big issue was that he just kept breaking COVID protocols by going to clubs/bars. It made it that he was always being held out of games/potentially exposing his teammates. 

I think Thompson's time in the NBA has come to a close.

1) Worse case scenario is the Mavs clear space to sign a RFA max deal with JC the Hawks won't match. I think the Mavs in the LONG run get better with JC while losing THJ and JRich.

2) My HOPE is that the Mavs have cap space leverage to force the Hawks into a sign and trade for JC where the Mavs keep either THJ or JR. 

I believe enough in JC that he is worth it in my mind....but I do not see any other target that buoys the Mavs long term outlook like JC does. 

JC or BUST for me this summer.

I turned on the end of the Heat vs Blazers game last night with the Heat up by 7.   I was like "cool, lets go Heat".  Well Portland does what they do.  They just chipped away at the lead and Kanter was excellent late.    The Heat made several big plays, but Portland just made more and Dame was fouled on an end of a game three that won them the game.
