Trade & Free Agency 2026/2027

[OBX Maverick]

I think the Mavs will do right by Klay if he wants to leave. He came here to play with Luka on a contender and had the rug pulled out from under him. Then despite being benched and suffering through a tanking season he said and did all the right things, including being incredibly supportive of all the young players in the locker room.

If he wants a buyout they should give it to him. Just like last February, Klay has no trade value on his current contract unless Dallas is taking similar money back.

If Klay is sought by Miami as rumored, then he has some trade value. Dallas is under no pressure to dump him.  It’s up to the Heat to find partners and parameters for a trade.
