What did Klay Thompson say about rumors of a possible breakup with the Golden State Warriors?

Among the trio of stars who made the Golden State Warriors successful: Stephen Curry, Draymond Green and Klay Thompson, only Klay has not had his contract extended.

Klay Thompson has been with the Golden State Warriors for 12 years and has a special relationship with the Golden Gate team.

The Golden State Warriors will enter the 2023-24 season with several important personnel changes. However, the core team that has led the team to four championship trophies over the past decade remаins the same, including Stephen Curry, Draymond Green and Klay Thompson.

However, concerns have arisen surrounding Klay Thompson as he is the only nаme among the three stars whose contract has not yet been renewed.

Stephen Curry and Draymond Green have both been “tied down” for a long time, sticking with the team for at least 3 more years (end of the 2025-26 season). Klay is about to enter the final year of his contract but has not yet found common ground in renewing with the Warriors.

This causes rumors to appear about the possibility that Thompson will have a new stop after the 2023-24 season ends.

So what does the 33-year-old pitcher personally think about this? Klay Thompson just had an interview with The Athletic before the new season. Here, he shared very frankly about his future with the Golden State Warriors.

“ If someone asks me, I will always answer that I don’t want to go anywhere. I respect loyalty because it is a very special thing, also very rare in sports today ,” Thompson shared.

“To play my whole career for one team would be great, as if I would become a legend of that team. Look at Udonis Haslem in Miami, he became a symbol of the club and was even revered by the whole city.

Golden State Warriors with the addition of 12-time All-Star and 11-time All-NBA defender Chris Paul promises to bring a new look to compete for the championship.

I’ve been here (Golden State Warriors – PV) since before championship banners were hung on the ceiling of the stadium, so I wouldn’t want to give up this team easily,” Thompson added.

Klay Thompson is about to enter his 13th season in the NBA and according to the above share, he is ready to accept his entire career with the Golden State Warriors.

This is the team that selected him in the 2011 NBA Draft, and is also the place that helped Klay make a nаme for himself by becoming one of the best shooters of all time.

Of the trio of stars who made the Golden State Warriors successful, Stephen Curry, Draymond Green and Klay Thompson, only Klay has not had his contract extended.

Since Thompson entered the NBA until now (since 2011), he has had the 4th most 3-pointers in the entire league despite losing the 2019-20 and 2020-21 seasons due to ιnjury.

Last season alone, Klay regained his form in Regular Season with 301 3-pointers all season, reaching a rate of up to 41.2% 3PT. NBA history has only seen three players ever shoot more than 300 3-pointers in a season: Klay, Stephen Curry and James Harden.

Although the contract extension story is an important part of any player, Klay said he will try to focus entirely on his expertise to achieve the best results with the team.

“ I won’t let it affect me too much because personally I never want to go anywhere. I’m in a great place, in good shape and everything is stable. I will focus completely on this season and hope for the best ,” Klay Thompson shared.
