Klay Thompson expressed his excitement about joining the Miami Heat after being bought out by the Dallas Mavericks. Speaking to The Athletic, Thompson stated he is elated to be in Miami, praising the organization's hunger to return to the NBA Finals and highlighting the strong offseason work ethic of the team's young players.
