In a seismic offseason overhaul, the Miami Heat have re-tooled their roster around championship pedigree and superstar star power.

Following a buyout with the Dallas Mavericks, four-time champion Klay Thompson agreed to a two-year, $13 million deal featuring a second-year player option. His elite perimeter stroke—shooting 38.3% from deep in Dallas—provides vital spacing for South Beach.

Making the haul historic, Miami also landed two-time MVP Giannis Antetokounmpo. Acquired in a blockbuster deal with Milwaukee, the powerhouse forward pairs alongside Bam Adebayo. With Thompson’s elite shooting complementing Giannis’s rim pressure, Pat Riley’s new core instantly resets Miami’s title contention window.
