Golden State Warriors submit $130 million bid for Miami Heat ace Superstar as $35.3 million transfer news…
Five-time NBA All-Star Klay Thompson appears ready to move on from the Golden State Warriors.
According to The Athletic’s Anthony Slater, Thompson has no offer on the table from the Warriors with only one week away from the official start of free agency.
The Warriors, according to Slater, are betting on Thompson receiving short-term offers in the open market that will eventually lead him back to them. But Thompson, like a scorned lover, is leaning toward seeking a fresh start regardless of the Warriors’ offer.
“Even if the Warriors eventually approach 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,” Slater wrote on June 22.
The new Collective Bargaining Agreement allows the Warriors to negotiate with Thompson right after the Boston Celtics won their 18th championship.
