One of the greatest dynasties in sports history is coming to an end as Klay Thompson is expected to part ways with the Warriors in Free Agency
After the NBA Draft, Shams Charania and Anthony Slater of The Athletic reported Breaking News – The Warriors “are preparing to lose” Klay Thompson in Free Agency. Thompson and the team “have had close to no communication” for almost two weeks, and the team has not made Thompson an offer,
Previous sources such as NBA insider Marc Stein has reported the team’s priorities being to sign Clippers star Paul George, especially after George’s decisions to opt out of his player option for the last season of his contract
“The Warriors, after other business, have wanted to circle back and negotiate with Thompson,” The Athletic reporters wrote. “But he isn’t expected to be there waiting as a willing secondary priority in their summer plan, with his side feeling that the Warriors’ interest in a reunion has been disingenuous.”
The 5 times All-Star and 4 times NBA Champion is expected to end his 13-year career with the Warriors. As a key part of the Warrior’s historical run from 2015-2019 and 2022, Thompson has been selected to 2 All-NBA teams and is widely regarded as one of the greatest 3-point shooters in the history of the league
Coming off his Achilles injury in the 2019 NBA Finals against the Kawhi Leonard-led Raptors, Thompson returned in the 2021-22 season and was vital in their championship run. However, Thompson’s defense has weakened significantly in the following seasons and has showed signs of a decreasing production both offensively and defensively
Experts expects Thompson to sign with the James-led Lakers and the Doncic-led Mavericks that previously made their third Finals-run in their franchise history
