Thompson is no longer the borderline superstar that he once was in the prime of his career.

That said, he is doing everything that he is needed to do with his new team.

The Mavs already have superstars Kyrie Irving and Luka Doncic, so Thompson does not need to be anything more than an efficient third-option.
