Klay Thompson To Test Free Agency

Is this the end of an era for the Golden State Warriors and Klay Thompson? According to multiple reports, spearheaded by The Athletic, the 34-year-old wing veteran will search the entire league before making his decision about the Warriors.

Teams like the Orlando Magic and Dallas Mavericks have reported interest in Thompson, but he wants to explore all options before deciding. This breaking news comes after the Warriors were unfollowed by him on social media. It appears he was trying to scrub himself from ever having a relationship with the Warriors.

The Warriors have clarified that they want him back, but it is a money issue. Golden State offered him a contract before the start of the season; however, Thompson wanted to bet on himself. To say the least, it backfired tremendously and has caused his value to be at an all-time low.

The Warriors offered a two-year, $48 million extension for anyone curious about the years and amount given.

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.
