Klay Thompson’s Father Drops Huge Warriors Update Amid Lakers Rumors

Everyone is talking about the possible addition of Klay Thompson to the Los Angeles Lakers, and now his father decided to talk.

Klay Thompson will become an unrestricted free agent at the end of the season and his future with the Golden State Warriors is still uncertain.

The NBA star is expected to head to Los Angeles, and many would be happy to see him sharing the same court with LeBron James.

Thompson is not ready to negotiate a team-friendly deal, and ESPN’s Zach Low said that “Thompson has no plans to take a discount, and the Warriors don’t expect him to.”

Thompson’s father delivered a similar message, noting that his son will only sign a contract that fits his talent.

“The money thing is basically set in stone. Everybody knows what the salary cap is, everybody knows what a player of Klay’s caliber and tenure in the league is supposed to get on his next deal. So basically, there’s no need to negotiate – everybody’s number is set because of the salary cap rules. He just is so comfortable and loves and appreciates playing so much for the Warriors and for the fans in the Bay Area. It makes no sense to leave,” Mychal Thompson said.

“Klay wants to stay, he wants to retire as a Golden State Warrior 10 years from now. He wants to play until his late 30s. He has no desire to ever leave the Bay. He loves it there, he loves playing with his teammates, loves playing for that organisation,” he added.

“So believe me, when he says he wants to stay in the Bay, he 100 percent means that. And besides — why would you break up the greatest shooting backcourt – the greatest backcourt – in the history of the game? And these guys are only halfway through. They still got a lot of years to play together, so you’re not gonna break that up.”
