Will this be the final season together for the Splash Brothers with Klay Thompson’s contract expiring? Most likely not.
“We want him back. He wants to be back,” Golden State Warriors majority owner Joe Lacob said Wednesday on Bay Area radio station 95.7 The Game. “I think everyone needs to just chill a little. Let this take its course. My guess is it works out.”
The Warriors and first-year general manager Mike Dunleavy Jr., however, should not rush to extend the 33-year-old shooting guard. Earlier this week, ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski reported “no progress” on a potential extension.
“They are both still apart on years and money, and there’s a very real possibility that Klay Thompson goes into free agency next summer without a deal,” he said on “NBA Countdown.”
