Golden State Warriors star Klay Thompson is in the middle of a tangled offseason. He wants to stay with the Golden State Warriors, but hopes that the Golden State Warriors will give him a good contract extension. However, the Golden State Warriors refused to give Klay Thompson a two-year, $48 million contract.

Obviously, the Golden State Warriors' contract offer has angered Klay Thompson, so he closed the Golden State Warriors' official account after entering the 2024 offseason. According to reports, the likes of the Mavericks, Magic and Lakers are all potential next home for Klay Thompson.

According to the latest reports, Klay Thompson is considering playing with LeBron James and Anthony Davis in the future, but Klay Thompson's plan is an either/or option, not a single option for the Lakers.

Brad Turner said: "Klay Thompson is interested in playing with the Lakers and LeBron James, provided he signs a contract extension with the Lakers, with whom Thompson plans to negotiate. ”

Klay Thompson, 34, has played for the Golden State Warriors so far in his career. In the last two seasons, because of his poor performance, he has become the blame for the team's losses. The Golden State Warriors also took this opportunity to directly renew Klay Thompson's contract at a lower price.

As a result, Klay Thompson has consistently rejected the Golden State Warriors' request for a significant pay cut to renew his contract. The general manager of the Golden State Warriors is no longer Bob Myers, but Michael Dunlevy Jr. Both sides are reportedly ready to part ways, with Klay Thompson opting to enter the free agent market in hopes of getting a bigger contract.

After Klay Thompson fell out with the Golden State Warriors, there were rumors of Klay Thompson on quite a few teams in the league. However, the closest team to getting Klay Thompson right now is the Dallas Mavericks and the Los Angeles Lakers.

The Dallas Mavericks are looking for a third star for Luka Doncic and Kyrie Irving, a Big Three with great scoring ability. Klay Thompson doesn't have great dribbling ability, but his outside shooting is a point of attack that opponents don't dare to take lightly.

As for the Los Angeles Lakers, if they want to win the championship, they will have to find a true All-Star for LeBron James and Anthony Davis. Klay Thompson's three-point shot can make up for the Lakers' poor three-point shooting weakness, and LeBron James is ready to take a salary cut to renew his contract, and LeBron James has a salary cut of about $16 million a year.

In other words, LeBron James is willing to accept a contract of about $100 million for three years, and when the time comes, they will send D'Angelo Russell away. They could give Klay Thompson a three-year, $80 million contract.
