Warriors Offered Klay Thompson A Contract Before Talks Stalled Out

Before the start of the season, Klay Thompson was offered a two-year, $48 million extension by the Golden State Warriors. As we all know the veteran guard didn’t like the deal, wanted something more on his terms, and now there is a standstill between both sides.

With the season Thompson has been having, Golden State is in no rush to extend him a new deal. The Warriors haven’t felt the pressure of extending him.

Thompson is in the final year of his $190 million deal signed in 2019 after tearing his ACL in the NBA Finals. If he continues to perform poorly, he may hit the open market in the 2024 offseason.

This season, he is averaging 15.4 points, 4.0 rebounds, and 2.0 assists in 30.0 minutes in 22 games played. It should also be noted Thompson is hitting a career-low 34.3% on three-pointers and a very underwhelming 39.7% from the field.

Warriors Rejected Klay Thompson’s Two-Year, $40 Million Offer

According to multiple reports, Klay Thompson and his agent brought several contract proposals to the Golden State Warriors before the start of free agency. However, management wasn’t having it.

The latest offer was a two-year, $40 million deal. The Warriors shot down this very cheap, reasonable deal. This was after Thompson came to terms with having an Andre Igudola-type role at Golden State.

Golden State wanted him to come off the bench behind Brandin Podziemski, prompting the team to take a different financial approach. Mike Dunleavy Jr. sought names like Mikal Bridges, Lauri Markkanen, LeBron James, and Paul George.

About two weeks after the Warriors rejected his final offer on June 1st, Thompson decided that he needed to find himself with a different team and finish his journey somewhere else. This led to him signing with the Dallas Mavericks on a three-year, $50 million deal.

Klay Thompson Signs $50 Million Deal With Mavericks

According to multiple reports, the Dallas Mavericks have come to an agreement with Klay Thompson for him to join the likes of Kyrie Irving and Luka Doncic.

The deal is set for three years worth $50 million, including a player option. For reference on other offers coming across Thompson’s phone, the Los Angeles Lakers were prepared to offer him a four-year, $80 million deal.

While Dallas has agreed to a contract with Thompson, Golden State is still finalizing the terms of the sign-and-trade that would land the four-time champion in Dallas. It would also take the willingness of the Charlotte Hornets to get this deal done. For the Hornets, Josh Green was sent to them.

However, multiple insiders have noted that this deal should be completed soon, and the terms of this trade/agreement will be publicized.

Per Brett Siegel, Klay Thompson will be a member of the Dallas Mavericks no matter what.
