Klay Thompson is reportedly determined to leave the Golden State Warriors organization in free agency. According to The Athletic’s Tim Kawakami, Thompson has already shared goodbyes with some high-ranking Warriors officials. It seems that his departure from the Bay Area is imminent, as both Thompson and the Warriors are prepared for his exit.
Thompson’s potential departure from the Warriors follows almost a year of contract negotiations that reportedly ended in a tense standoff between the two parties. Now, he will explore the free-agent market, with the Dallas Mavericks showing heavy interest in him. Other teams like the Los Angeles Lakers and Los Angeles Clippers could also pursue him.
If Thompson does leave the Warriors, he will have more goodbyes to issue in the days and weeks ahead. It seems like the end of an era for Thompson and the Warriors, as he prepares to move on to a new chapter in his basketball career.
