Multiple reports say the Los Angeles Lakers are evaluating possible options to add shooting around Luka Dončić, and Klay Thompson has been mentioned among the targets. The New York Post and Yahoo Sports (NBA) both reference reporting from The Athletic indicating that Thompson is of interest to the Lakers, given the team’s need for perimeter scoring.
However, the same coverage also says the Miami Heat could provide competition. Both outlets describe the Heat as another destination that has been discussed in relation to Thompson, and they frame the situation as one where the Lakers may not be the only team pursuing him.
The articles do not confirm that Thompson is definitely available or that any agreement is imminent. Instead, they present Thompson’s name as part of an ongoing process of roster planning and interest from multiple teams, centered on whether his shooting can help strengthen the supporting cast around Dončić.
