Ghost drives to layup

When Klay Thompson shot 0-of-10 from the field in this year's Warriors playoff game against the Kings, many people boldly predicted that Klay had played his final game with the Warriors. It's no exaggeration to say that 0-of-10 in the play-offs is a microcosm of Klay's struggles throughout the 2023-24 season! Suddenly, Clay felt incredibly strange. His shots are no longer steadily in the basket, and his shots are more often exchanged for the sound of bells and bells!

In the end, the Warriors were eliminated by the Kings and completely missed the playoffs! At the end of the game, when the rest of the Warriors returned to the locker room, only Klay was still sitting on the court and unwilling to leave. He looked around, his eyes seemed to express some kind of emotion, but there was a sense of déjà vu that he wanted to say and stopped! In fact, everyone understands that Klay is saying goodbye to his Warriors career, and he will most likely not play in Warriors jerseys next season. Because Clay knows deep down that he is no longer in the team's future plans, and he will inevitably be abandoned after all!

With Klay Thompson's contract with the Warriors expiring this offseason, where does he go from here as a free agent? He used to be extremely eager for the old Warriors, after all, there are his good brothers Curry who have fought side by side for many years, chasing dreams. But he was unwilling to accept such a "mediocre" contract extension, and from the moment he rejected the Warriors' two-year, $48 million early contract extension, Klaysa wanted to pursue a bigger contract in free agency this summer.

According to the latest report from Warriors reporter Anthony Slater, sources revealed that the contract extension talks between Klay and the Warriors are basically frozen, and no offers have been made by the two parties. And even if the Warriors make a competitive offer, Klay will still decide to leave. From rejecting the Warriors' 48 million for 2 years to not making any offer now, we can be sure that Klay is determined to leave!

As previously reported, Clay wants to pursue a new contract of at least three years, arguing that the length of time is more important than the amount of the contract. This can be said to be a compromise of fate at the age of 34, because after a major injury, he can't get back to the self he once killed all sides, and he wants a long-term contract just to prolong his career as much as possible. But it's such a demand, and the warriors still can't meet him after all! Could it be that the Warriors are really so unkind to the team's exploits? Definitely!

According to ESPN salary expert Bobby Marks, Stephen Curry is eligible to sign a one-year, $62.6 million early contract extension with the Warriors this summer, and if he waits until next summer to make an early extension, Curry will be eligible to sign a two-year, $130 million contract extension with the Warriors. It is worth mentioning that this is still limited to the 38-year-old rule. Otherwise, the Warriors will definitely be happy to offer Curry another 5-year super cap salary!

It can be seen that whether to sign 62.6 million for 1 year this summer or 130 million for 2 years next summer will be completely up to Curry himself. In short, Warriors management is ready for Curry to renew his contract at any time, just waiting for him to sign the contract. The Warriors are chasing Curry's contract with the highest salary, while Klay's contract extension is a retreat. As for the reason, I am afraid that this is most directly related to the current competitive state of the two. Therefore, Clay, who is in the state of Waterloo, is only left to cry with greed!
