Klay Thompson has big expectations for this summer, where the Golden State Warriors will have a big decision to make.
The talented shooting guard had an incredible 2022-23 regular season, and now thinks he’s lined up for another max contract.
“Thompson, I’m told, has an expectation that he would be rewarded with a new, max-level contract extension this offseason,” Adrian Wojnarowski said on Saturday night. “… This is an inflection point now for the Golden State organization with Klay Thompson, Steph Curry, and then Draymond Green, who could opt into his deal at $27 million. The Warriors could be facing a payroll and luxury tax over $500 million. It remains to be seen whether Joe Lacob is going to pay that.”
The Warriors already re-signed Andrew Wiggins and Jordan Poole last year, and it was expected that they would part ways with Thompson or Draymond Green. Of course, this could change, especially if they fail to win another championship this season.
Their 2023 NBA Playoffs didn’t start the best way, with the Sacramento Kings winning a huge game at Golden 1 Center. Klay finished the match with 21 points, to go along with 6 rebounds and 5 assists.
Klay Thompson’s Big Warning To The NBA Before The Playoffs Started
Before the start of the postseason, Klay showed his confidence in his team, saying that nobody could beat them in a best-of-7 series. This could bite back at the superstar soon since the Warriors have struggled a lot to win games on the road.
This is an interesting moment for the Dubs, who need to get it together now if they want to keep their championship hopes alive. Klay will be crucial for that, but they need to have everybody on the same page to beat the Kings and any potential rival they face in the future.
It’s pretty clear that the Warriors aren’t the same team that won it all last year, but Klay remains confident in his teammates.
