Heat can steal another Warriors target after Klay Thompson move

The Dallas Mavericks have signed Klay Thompson to a two-year, $11.5 million contract, leaving the Golden State Warriors with two open roster spots before training camp. Meanwhile, the Miami Heat are eyeing Gabe Vincent, a former player with ties to the Warriors, as a potential free agency target. Vincent, who played four seasons with the Heat, was a key figure in their 2023 NBA Finals run alongside Jimmy Butler. After a three-year, $33 million deal with the Lakers, he was traded to the Atlanta Hawks before the mid-season deadline. His recent performance—averaging 4.4 points and 1.4 assists on poor shooting percentages—has drawn interest from the Heat, who may seek to re-ignite his career. Despite being on the Warriors' radar, Vincent’s lack of recent consistency makes him unlikely to fit into Golden State’s rotation. However, the possibility of a return by Butler or other unexpected developments could still influence the Warriors' decisions in the coming month.
