There is strong mutual interest between Thompson and the Dallas Mavericks, with the Mavericks emerging as favorites to sign him. League sources indicate that Thompson's relationship with the Warriors is irretrievable. Marc Stein reports that the mutual interest is expected to materialize when free agency opens Sunday evening. Meanwhile, the Warriors' attempt to trade for Paul George has failed, further solidifying Thompson's likely exit. Thompson is expected to agree to a sign-and-trade deal.
