Lakers and Rockets pursue Klay Thompson ahead of offseason trades

The Los Angeles Lakers and Houston Rockets are considering trades for Klay Thompson, a four-time NBA champion. As both teams look to enhance their three-point shooting, the Lakers may seek to replace Rui Hachimura, while the Rockets aim to address offensive shortcomings from last season. Thompson, in the final year of his contract with the Dallas Mavericks, has experienced a decline in performance but remains a viable shooting option. With a new head coach at Dallas, a trade could facilitate retooling for the franchise.
