On June 30, according to American media reports, due to Klay Thompson's contract renewal with the Warriors, he has said goodbye to the Warriors' senior management cordially, no matter where he goes, he will no longer stay in the Warriors, and will end his 13-year legendary career.
In the 2023-24 season, Klay played in 77 regular season games for the Warriors, averaging 17.9 points, 3.3 rebounds and 2.3 assists per game while shooting 43.2% from the field. In the play-off game against the Kings, Klay shot 0 of 10 and did not score.
Last summer, the Warriors offered Klay a two-year, $48 million contract extension, but Klay turned it down. In the past season, Klay's contract renewal negotiations have reached an impasse, and it is reported that Klay's expected contract is 1-120 million for 4 years, while the Warriors are only willing to give 6000-70 million for 3 years.
According to Shams of The Athletic, multiple sources have revealed that the Warriors are preparing for the loss of Klay, and the 13-year partnership between the two sides has come to an end.
Lakers reporter Jovan Buha said the Lakers, Mavericks and Clippers are all interested in Klay.
On June 30, The Athletic Warriors reporter Tim Kawakami wrote that both the Warriors and Klay are fully prepared to leave the Bay Area.
According to sources, Klay was fully prepared and had a cordial goodbye to members of the Warriors' upper echelons.
It is worth mentioning that Jordan Lawley, who has been Klay's trainer for the past two seasons, posted a photo of Klay and Curry on social media and wrote: "The end of an era. ”
