END MYSTERY! Klay Thompson Is DONE With The Warriors | Golden State Warriors News
you don’t just unfollow your team there’s something here and I I definitely think that that he’s up to something and you don’t just unfollow the Warriors and follow Pao the best player on the team that there’s rumors that you’re going to go to and get a big offer from this summer hello Deb Nation amid the excitement of the NBA offseason a bombshell decision involving the Warriors is leaving Golden State fans extremely sad and apprehensive recently Klay Thompson not only unfollowed the warriors on Instagram he also started then Paulo banero of the Orlando Magic if that wasn’t clear enough clay announced that he will test the market as a free agent one of the biggest questions of the Warriors offseason has been the future of one half of the Splash Brothers with each passing day more clues emerge about Clay’s future and the more information that comes to light the less likely it seems that he will remain with the warriors with Moses Moody awaiting an opportunity to secure a sizable contract Klay thps son’s departure would put moody in a better position although it doesn’t necessarily mean he will get more minutes as he was passed over for Brandon pod msky last season Kerr would have less reason to keep Moses Moody on the bench will Klay Thompson become a magic player not necessarily there are still teams like the Detroit Pistons interested and with Clay following several Chicago Bulls players everything seems uncertain furthermore it appears that Andre Drummond his deci decided that he will look for a new team this summer could the Warriors save on salary cap space while signing a cheap veteran who can provide everything the team needs let’s see how Klay Thompson’s departure could put the Warriors in position to make a deep playoff Run next season before then don’t forget to like the video and subscribe to goldblooded news for the most analytical and entertaining NBA content on YouTube we have been following the Klay Thompson Saga since the beginning and this is the first time clay will enter free agency in his career the last time clay signed a contract was in 2019 a 5-year $190 million deal that was considered insane at the time considering he wouldn’t be able to play for at least a year due to a torn a the prognosis for his injury was clear and the team was just grateful for what clay had done so they gave him the maximum despite knowing he would be out for an entire year that was one of the toughest seasons for Golden State racking up just 15 wins and finding themselves in a lottery with the second pick with Clay back the Warriors should be able to compete for a title unfortunately just before training camp Klay Thompson ruptured his Achilles tendon shocking the entire Warriors Nation it would not be an exaggeration to say that the board players and fans were devastated Klay Thompson would miss a second consecutive year of a guaranteed 5-year contract this meant that the front office knew they were hurting themselves by taking away any potential they had to win a championship just to pay clay in his first 2 years Klay earned a total of $66 million without playing a single game for the Warriors Klay Thompson didn’t start playing until halfway through his third year meaning he was out for more than half of his contract playing a total of just 32 games in his first year back in short based on availability to play it was a 2 and a2e contract for $90 million earning the equivalent of $76 million per year that was the value the Warriors received from Clay Thompson in that contract that means a 2-year $48 million contract for a 34 year-old clay was perfectly reasonable for a team trying to get another title for its franchise player Steph Curry if they paid clay anything close to what he was making the Warriors would once again be limited by the salary cap while Steph wants to play with CL I doubt he would be happy playing with this version of Klay Thompson as his only help now we know what the Warriors offered clay before the season started what does clay want well big news just broke about what Clay is asking for the news literally just broke as I’m recording this Klay Thompson is Seeking a three-year deal in free agency former Warrior Leandro Barbosa who was close to Klay Thompson said in an interview if he goes to a different team he will have to to start all over again if he stays this is his home this is his house so I hope he thinks and understands the deal what the deal is in moves on I hope he comes back to the Warriors the money in NBA contracts is going up and he’s been thinking about the money but I think he needs to be happy I think that’s the most important thing this is very interesting considering we’ve heard rumors that the magic might be willing to offer clay more than $30 million per year even on a 2year deal which would be pretty significant I’m going to guess that Clay is probably looking for something in the range of a 3-year deal for $70 million and the length of the contract is what the Warriors are trying to avoid they don’t want to keep clay longer than they have Steph Curry because it doesn’t make sense if there’s a chance Steph Curry leaves in 2 years the Warriors will want to completely rebuild the team at which point Clay’s value would be so low that they wouldn’t get anything in return this is why Steve cerr is also on a 2-year contract the exception here is Draymond Green who has three years left on his contract but it could be argued that Draymond could still find a role on the Warriors even without Steph Curry if the team decides to rebuild with Draymond as the leader Andrew Wiggins has three years remaining but the final year is a Player’s Choice and he doesn’t have the question of age hanging over his head with his mentality being the biggest concern for the team following Paulo banero of the Magics and other Bulls players doesn’t mean much in and of itself I don’t think that means he’s planning on going to any of those teams it’s more a matter of respect remember clay had that game earlier in the season guarding banero and probably just respects him same goes for Alex Caruso and Demar D rozan this is part of the negotiation tactic of players seeking to force their team’s hands to obtain the desired contract it’s up to the team to get Klay Thompson’s attention as Clay is testing free agency if he can get an offer from a team for 3 years that is the ultimate goal because without wasting any time he and his agent will take that offer back to Golden State to match this is the ultimate move for NBA free agents especially someone like clay who is a legend in the Bay Area and will likely have a statue erected of him his Splash brother and Draymond Green there is no doubt that his legacy will be a little different perhaps tarnished if he chooses to retire elsewhere he could do what Wade did spending a year in Chicago before playing one last time with his friend LeBron in Cleveland before returning to Miami for his final year before retiring could Phoenix or the Lakers be in Klay Thompson’s plans possibly however it appears he plans to get an offer once free agency begins until then clay will be preparing for the Bahamas national team not to play as he would need to be released from the US team but just to train he’s taking this offseason more seriously and making an effort to show teams that he’s not the player who made 10 shots during an elimination game a few months ago ending a season like this makes it nearly impossible to have any influence on NBA contract negotiations if clay signs with another team The Warriors will need to find a replacement however the best thing to do would be to put Moses moody in the starting lineup and give him and Jonathan kaminga a chance alongside Steph Curry Draymond Green and A rebounding Shooting Centers like Jonas Valen sunis Jonas is expected to go to a new team this summer and is probably the best center option for the Warriors to compete with right away the Warriors won’t be able to make an offer for him until June 30th the start of free agency and they won’t be able to sign him until July 6th if you were hoping to see Jonas valunas playing for Lithuania in the Olympic qualifying tournament that won’t happen as needs to be healthy when negotiations begin under NBA free agency rules obviously if he played they could not guarantee his health which could ruin his career as long as he’s healthy he should be the warriors’s number one Target in free agency there is an alternative in Andre Drummond who recently became available we’ve already covered what Drummond would bring to the team but recently it appears he isn’t happy remaining with the bulls and as a free agent this summer his 2 years contract with the Bulls recently expired it’s not a stretch to think that with a larger role than Golden State where his rebounding would be crucial to the Warriors competition at the next level he would accept a 2-year deal speaking of the Bulls the Warriors apparently made an offer for Alex Caruso which the Bulls rejected along with many others that included several first round picks citing a mandate from their front office to compete in the playoffs next season Alex Caruso originally went undrafted and is now Untouchable in the face of multiple first round picks you can’t make this up whatever the Warriors decide it would be wise to keep Trey on the team as long as possible which would mean getting rid of Kevin Looney and possibly Andrew Wiggins who is the biggest unknown at this point Wiggins is definitely available with the right offer so he could be on or off the team when free agency begins but absolutely nothing has skewed our expectations of where Wiggins will end up one way or another what do you think do you think Klay Thompson is really done with golden state or is there a chance the front office will give him what he’s looking for remember they didn’t think he was worth a three-year contract before this season and before he performed poorly in crucial games it’s time for the Warriors to consider a risky move for years the Warriors played conservatively resigning their veteran Stars while using draft picks on young prospects that was the the two timeline strategy Champion by owna Jill lacab while it brought them victory in the 2022 NBA Finals it proved inadequate to sustain their Dynasty the upcoming offseason emerges as a critical moment for the Golden State Warriors ready to reshape the franchise’s trajectory will they commit to one last
