Miami Heat Send Message to Klay Thompson After Signing 2-Year Deal

Miami Heat have signed Klay Thompson to a two-year contract worth $11.5 million, joining a roster filled with All-Stars. Thompson, who was previously with the Dallas Mavericks, cleared waivers and is now set to play in Miami. The Heat's signing of Thompson comes weeks after acquiring two-time NBA MVP Giannis Antetokounmpo. Thompson, who was part of the Splash Brothers with Stephen Curry during his time with the Golden State Warriors, will join the Heat as a reserve player, backing up Tim Hardaway Jr. and Andrew Wiggins.

Known for his remarkable 3-point shooting, Thompson currently ranks fourth on the NBA's all-time list with 2,899 made 3-pointers. He is on track to surpass Hall of Famer Ray Allen's record by making 75 more 3-pointers in his first season with the Heat. Last season, Thompson averaged 11.7 points, 2.1 rebounds, and 1.4 assists for Dallas, shooting 38.3% from the 3-point range.

With dominant big men like Antetokounmpo and Bam Adebayo, Thompson could have a significant impact on Miami's offense, potentially moving up the career list.
