Warriors Valuing The Trade Market Over Klay Thompson

It looks like the Golden State Warriors are officially setting their sights on other players instead of focusing on Klay Thompson. According to The Athletic, talks are “essentially frozen” with neither side budging at all.

Anthony Slater said that while the Warriors want to re-sign the veteran wing, they’ll look at the trade market and what players they could get. Chris Paul’s name has been mentioned as a player who could be traded for other assets.

The 34-year-old has no trade value currently; even with the Orlando Magic, it is stalled out. Slater has gone so far to say that Thompson may leave Golden State to get a fresh start with a new organization.

What’s crazier is that Thompson would choose another team over the Warriors, even if the money was matched or exceeded.

The Warriors’ lack of urgency could be a way of signaling their thoughts on Thompson’s value. Remember, before the season began, they offered him a two-year, $48 million extension.

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.
