Elder Thompson helped the Lakers secure back-to-back NBA titles in 1987 and 1988. And now, he works as a Lakers radio color commentator.
The Dallas Mavericks are reportedly exploring trade options for Thompson, who's entering the final season of his current contract.
Earlier this week, NBA insider Christian Clark of The Athletic reported that Thompson is open to playing in Los Angeles this coming NBA season.
"My understanding is that Thompson would welcome a return to Los Angeles, where he spent part of his childhood and still owns a home. The Miami Heat are another team frequently mentioned in NBA circles as a potential landing spot for the future Hall of Famer," Clark reported.
Mychal Thompson responded to the idea of his son joining the Lakers with a simple message.
Thompson, 36, averaged 11.7 points per game on 38.3% shooting from behind the 3-point arc last season. He's set to earn $17.4 million on the final season of his contract with the Mavericks.
