Klay Thompson, a six-time NBA All-Star and key member of the Golden State Warriors' dynasty, is set to become an unrestricted free agent this summer after 13 seasons with the team. Thompson has expressed his desire to stay with the Warriors but no significant progress has been made towards a contract extension.
Thompson's decision comes as the Warriors have roster issues they want to address before extending his contract. The team needs a second shot creator and Thompson, who averaged 17.9 points per game shooting 38.7% from three-point range last season, could fill that role.
However, Thompson is also considering testing the free agency waters for the first time in his career. Several teams with cap space have shown interest in him including the Oklahoma City Thunder, Philadelphia 76ers and Orlando Magic.
The Warriors maintain their desire to retain Thompson but may not be willing to pay top dollar due to other roster considerations. The team also has a big decision to make on guard Chris Paul's $30 million non-guaranteed option for 2024-25 and owner Joe Lacob wants to get out of the luxury tax.
Thompson, who is confident he still has a few seasons of good basketball left, will decide where he suits up to finish off the final chapters of his career in the coming months.
