The Miami Heat is still celebrating the arrival of Klay Thompson, who signed a two-year, $11.5 million contract with the franchise late last week, marking the teamâs second-biggest addition this offseason.Â
Thompson also made a bit of a financial sacrifice, doing so with one vision in mind.
âI would say just the opportunity to play high-level basketball throughout the season and the chance to make a deep postseason run,â Thompson, when asked about taking less money, said Tuesday during his introductory press conference. âThose things were so attractive to me and obviously you want to maximize your earning potential as an athlete. But Iâve tasted winning before and thereâs really nothing like it.â
That decision will help the Heat a great deal. The team now has the flexibility to sign two players to a minimum contract, with three open roster spots still available.Â
According to NBC Sportsâ Kurt Helin, free agent big man Nick Richards stands out as potentially the Heatâs next pick up.
