Warriors Rumors: Klay Thompson Drawing Interest From Western Conference Rival
The Golden State Warriors are entering a crucial offseason in terms of where the organization heads.
After winning the NBA title in 2022 with the core of Steph Curry, Klay Thompson, and Draymond Green, Golden State has seemed to fall off. They were eliminated in the second round of the playoffs in 2023 by the Los Angeles Lakers and then missed the playoffs entirely last season, dropping their Play-In game to the Sacramento Kings.
Now, they enter the offseason with more questions than answers. But none are more pressing than the status of Thompson who is scheduled to be a free agent.
So far, talks on a contract with Thompson haven’t gone to plan and the likelihood of him leaving remains high. Thompson has reportedly felt disrespected by the Warriors in the process, especially given that he helped the franchise win four NBA championships over the last 10 years. With Thompson likely heading out the door, it remains a question where he will land. He should sign outright with a team but most quality teams don’t have enough cap space for him. This has brought about the idea of him completing a sign-and-trade with the Warriors to go elsewhere.
