[Jackson] Finding a way to acquire Klay Thompson remains a “priority” for the Miami Heat. Miami has had conversations with DeMar DeRozan and Bradley Beal. Miami would like to add another big man.

Thompson remains the Heat priority, even though there’s no indication when or if he will shake free from Dallas.

The Mavericks, well below the luxury tax line, have no particular financial incentive to dump Thompson — who’s owed $17.5 million in the final year of a three-year contract — unless he’s willing to take a significant pay cut on a buyout.

The Heat might end up needing that $8 million in exception money to bridge the gap with what he would be losing by taking a buyout with Dallas.

Thats fine. Just give us a FRP.
