Klay Thompson recently publicly broke with the Golden State Warriors, directly shut down the official account of the Golden State Warriors, and followed the account of Banchero, the young leader of the Orlando Magic. Although Klay Thompson did not directly express his intention to leave the team, the outside world knows that Klay Thompson is very dissatisfied with the Golden State Warriors' attitude towards renewing his contract.

Originally, it was reported that the Golden State Warriors offered Klay Thompson a four-year, $100 million contract extension, but Klay Thompson turned it down. The two sides negotiated many times, but did not reach reunification.

Because Klay Thompson wants a contract extension with an annual salary of not less than $40 million. However, the Golden State Warriors only gave him two options, one being two years and $48 million.

According to ESPN's Tim McMahon's latest report, the Golden State Warriors have once again offered Klay Thompson a two-year contract before he is about to become a free agent.

McMahon revealed: "We've heard it's a two-year offer"

NBC Sports' Monte Poole previously reported that Klay Thompson is looking for a contract with a "minimum of three years." Moreover, the total value of this contract is not low. With Klay Thompson's five-year, $190 million contract expiring, it also qualifies him to re-sign with the Warriors before he becomes an unrestricted free agent on June 30.

Because the new league rules allow teams to negotiate with their own free agents, but Klay Thompson's contract extension talks with the Golden State Warriors have not gone well. Because Klay Thompson wanted a contract with a salary increase, the Golden State Warriors offered a contract with a salary cut.

Klay Thompson, as a veteran of the Golden State Warriors, has been with the Golden State Warriors since he entered the NBA. His poor performance in the last two seasons has been a big factor in the Golden State Warriors' refusal to give him a big contract. In the 2023-24 season, Klay Thompson averaged 17.9 dwen per game. 3.3 rebounds and 2.3 assists while shooting 43.2% from the field and 38.7% from three-point range.

This is the first time Klay Thompson has averaged less than 20 points per game in the regular season since the 2012-13 season. In the 2023-24 season, the Golden State Warriors persuaded Klay Thompson to join the bench in order to make the team's record better.

The 46-36 record in the 2023-24 season also made the Golden State Warriors fail to make the playoffs for the first time since 2021. When Klay Thompson shot 0-for-10 in the playoff play-offs, he also received a lot of criticism. Many people in the outside world believe that if Klay Thompson's offensive efficiency at that time was better, the Golden State Warriors would have been able to break through the play-offs and enter the playoffs.

Therefore, the poor performance in the playoffs became the capital for the Golden State Warriors to ask Klay Thompson to take a significant salary cut and renew his contract. Although Klay Thompson still wants to return to the Golden State Warriors, the current contract extension offered by the Golden State Warriors has not met his expectations.

If the Golden State Warriors and Klay Thompson can't agree on a contract extension in the offseason, it will be difficult for them to continue working together as they have in the past. Klay Thompson is likely to play for other teams in the 2024-25 season.
