The Warriors took the gate against the Kings on Tuesday night, which raises questions about the future of Klay Thompson. And the latest news shared by Shams Charania confirms a trend.

Despite the confidence of the players and the coach, the Warriors failed to dominate the Kings in this play-in match. Steve Kerr’s men’s season is over and we can logically ask ourselves questions after an eventful campaign. Between injuries, disappointments on the outside or the Draymond Green case, this exercise has not been a smooth ride in San Francisco.

Outcome already known for Klay Thompson?

Departures? The question will have to be asked at the front office level, as will the reinforcement of a competent player in the racket, small-ball having once again shown its limits throughout this season. But the turning point of the summer is the possible departure of Klay Thompson, who will benefit from his free agent status. And we seem to be heading towards an end.

Shams Charania : “Klay Thompson is very open to the idea of ​​looking at the market during free agency. »

We can’t say it’s a complete surprise when we see Klay’s attitude ( see here ) after the defeat this Tuesday. We sense a nostalgic player, almost aware that he is experiencing his last performance as a Warrior. He will therefore appear on the market according to Shams and other insiders, even if he can also stay longer in Golden State.

Steve Kerr has also shared his wish to keep Thompson , regardless of his performance in recent months. This promises to be complicated, especially since the person concerned could command a significant new contract, which could dissuade the teams. Like his 0 points to 0/10 shooting against the Kings, the Splash Brother is not in a strong position today either.

He’s done with the Warriors…

Klay Thompson will indeed test the market in the coming months, it remains to be seen whether he will find what he is looking for, or whether he will decide to extend his adventure as a Warrior. Impossible to know the outcome at the moment.
