The more the days pass, the richer and more beautiful the love story between Klay Thompson and the Warriors nearing the end. To believe The Athleticthe negotiations between the two camps, which relate to an extension before the opening of the free agencywould thus be “frozen” and there would even be “no offers” on the table currently, while the discussions would not be “productive”.
Clearly, the four-time NBA champion could very well look elsewhere in the coming days, while the leaders of Golden State intend to keep it only “at the right price” and “in the right role”. During the week, ESPN reported that the “Dubs” had offered their fullback a two-year contract, instead of the three (minimum) he was looking for.
A market little attracted by Klay Thompson?
This failure in negotiations, for the duration and not for the amount of the lease, is in any case proof that Klay Thompson is not the Warriors' priority and this could therefore be the business of other teams. Why not the Magic, who we have known are interested in him for several weeks now?
“Very open” to the idea of testing the market and offering himself a new start, even if his coach and his teammates want him to stay, the 34-year-old player has visibly reached the final turning point in his career, which risks lead him far from his always frankness.
Golden State is also counting on the fact that suitors do not rush to Klay Thompson's door and then keep him at a low cost. Provided that the person concerned is obviously open to it…
