Klay Thompson's future with the Golden State Warriors is uncertain as he approaches NBA free agency. The Warriors have reportedly offered him a contract, but the terms have not been disclosed. This situation is reportedly more about respect than money for Thompson. Meanwhile, the Orlando Magic are not expected to offer Thompson the three-year contract he desires. Malik Monk has signed a deal with the Sacramento Kings for less than $20 million per year, which some analysts believe may influence Thompson's market value, especially since Thompson is aiming for more than $18.3M per year.

"This isn’t so much about money as it is about respect. ..." The Warriors reportedly offered Klay Thompson a contract before he is eligible to test NBA free agency https://t.co/PHdN6ENFfx
I'm a little surprised Monk signed so fast for less than $20M per. Maybe he knew the biggest dollars weren't out there for him this cycle, but he's only 26 and can really score. Not sure if this sets a market for Klay Thompson, who assuredly is aiming for more than $18.3M per. https://t.co/3zAlsu8cWU
Really, truly can't overemphasize how important this is for SAC. Gives them so many more options in growing out their team in the draft and trade market. Just an enormous, enormous deal for them to retain Monk. Thought for sure he'd get more in free agency. https://t.co/J6BmYca9jv
