Warriors currently have no offer on table for Klay Thompson, Thompson might leave even if Golden State makes good offer
Klay Thompson isn’t currently mulling a shorter-than-desired offer from the Golden State Warriors. Despite a wide open negotiation window, there isn’t a one-year, two-year or three-year deal on the table. Because nothing is currently on the table, according to league sources. There’s been no productive discussion between the Warriors and Thompson or his representatives.Source: New York Times

It’s becoming increasingly likely Thompson leaves Golden State regardless due to built-up friction. pic.twitter.com/yj0s0zNPl8 – 2:18 PM

Talks between Klay Thompson and the Warriors are essentially frozen, per sources. There has been no offer made. It’s more probable than ever he may leave the only franchise he’s known, regardless of his market.

More on this storyline
There has been no traction between Thompson and the Orlando Magic, according to league sources, despite some initial mutual interest. There is expected to be interest from other cap space teams and some longer-term offers on the table in a market that can always move in unpredictable directions. It’s always possible Thompson’s best offers may end up smaller in money and shorter in years than many predicted or expected, leading some to presume that’ll lead back to an inevitable reunion with the Warriors at a rate both sides are comfortable. -via New York Times / June 22, 2024
The Warriors have outwardly maintained their desire to bring Thompson back at the right price and in the right role, per league sources, but have viewed his situation as business to sort through after various other roster-building avenues have been explored. They’ve been actively searching for paths to larger-scale upgrades, using Chris Paul’s non-guaranteed $30 million contract as a flexible tool. There’s been talk with Paul about possibly pushing that guarantee date back from June 28 into July, if necessary, per league sources, which would only be telling Thompson to wait longer. -via New York Times / June 22, 2024
But that’s not necessarily the case. Even if the Warriors eventually approach Klay Thompson with a competitive offer, matching or exceeding the money and years, it has become increasingly conceivable, according to league sources, that Thompson will decide to leave regardless, searching for a fresh start in a different environment, detached from some of the built-up friction of the previous couple seasons. -via New York Times / June 22, 2024
