Golden State Warriors three key players are departing from the club after series of…

Some think that Klay Thompson leaving the Warriors is a sure thing this summer, but ESPN insider Brian Windhorst doesn’t quite agree.

Windhorst has downplayed the concern about the four-time Warriors champion’s future with the Dubs, as he gets set to enter unrestricted free agency.

“They tried to get something done before last season, they couldn’t agree and then Klay went out and didn’t have a very good year,” Windhorst said on The Pat McAfee Show. “He had a good year by your average NBA player standard, he averaged 18 points and shot 39 percent on 3s. That type of production would probably get you $20-to-25 million.

“Klay was making over $40 million last year, so they want him to come down and wherever that number is they want him to come to – and the years, it’s not just the amount of money per year, it’s also the number of years – he saw Draymond [Green] and Andrew Wiggins get four. I don’t know exactly where these negotiations are, but if I were him I would ask for four too … I find it hard to believe that Klay would walk and go to a place like the Orlando Magic. But I guess it’s possible.”
