A free agent this summer, Klay Thompson does not know if he will stay with the Warriors next season. He obviously has a personal choice, but he knows that the negotiations will not be simple. He spoke in a recent podcast.

While the Warriors validated their ticket for the play-in, with a controversy following a tweet , the franchise is now preparing for turbulent weeks. No room for error for Steve Kerr’s men, especially with a relatively ambitious Steph Curry. Regardless of their ranking at the end of the regular season, this team is confident they can compete with the best.

The dynasty isn’t over for fans, although many have little hope. The Dubs will have to go through a relatively difficult play-in, possibly against the Lakers, the Mavericks or the Kings. Curry will be expected at the turn, just like Klay Thompson, whose main challenge will be to be consistent. It is his future that is at stake in the postseason.

Klay Thompson honest about his future

It should be remembered that, yes, Thompson will be a free agent this summer. After Curry or even Draymond Green, it is now the back who finds himself on the market and his file remains complex. He wanted a huge salary initially but his performance did not justify such an expense. Is he willing to make concessions to stay with the Dubs?

Possible, although it is important to note that a franchise from the East is ready to make him a good offer . Klay doesn’t close any doors on his side, as he revealed to Draymond Green in a recent show. Fans have been warned.

Klay Thompson on the latter part of his career : “I can’t believe we’re already here. When you’re in your 20s, you think you’re going to be able to play forever. I struggled with it a lot at the start of the season, because of the unknown. »

 

“Maybe I let contract negotiations, playing time and everything else take over, making excuses, rather than appreciating what I have in front of me. It took at least 4 talks with Steve (Kerr) to stop doing that, and to say to myself, ‘I need to have fun, I deserve to have fun.’ »

 

“I still have July free agency in mind. Yes, I want to sign a new contract with the Dubs, but I also want to prioritize my mental health and define what’s important to me at this point in my career. »

 

Thompson could therefore extend his lease in Golden State, or look elsewhere for a better opportunity if the opportunity presents itself. Its leaders have now been warned.

Klay Thompson will take time to think this summer at the Warriors. He may decide to stay a few more years, or he will join another team for a new challenge. Anything is possible at this point.
