Klay Thompson is on a $43.219 million expiring contract with the Golden State Warriors with the 2 sides reportedly having begun early extension talks.
“My understanding is that they’ve opened contract extension talks with Klay Thompson,” stated Ramona Shelburne on the Lowe Put up. “It is a gradual course of. This concept that he is been eligible for awhile and so they have not completed something… no, they’ve began speaking. They’ve exchanged proposals. There isn’t any hurry to those discussions. The optionality goes each methods. Not essentially he is making an attempt to depart, however simply the optionality that he did not have a terrific yr final yr. It behooves him to have a terrific yr this yr and he is turns into extra priceless if he does.”
The Warriors re-signed Draymond Inexperienced this previous offseason as a free agent.
“They’re undoubtedly open to the concept of doing [an extension] as a result of they’ve opened discussions with Klay Thompson. I believe the years will in all probability be much like what Draymond Inexperienced signed, which was a four-year deal. I believe it’ll in all probability be comparable. I do not know the place they’re going to land on crew choice, participant choice. The cash goes to be the query. And the way that matches with the brand new CBA The restriction that suggests. I do know that the Warriors really feel very strongly about protecting Klay Thompson and Draymond Inexperienced alongside Steph Curry.”
Thompson was most lately a free agent in 2019 coming off his ACL harm and he swiftly signed a five-year, $189 million deal.
