Klay Thompson's future with the Golden State Warriors is uncertain as talks between him and the team are stalled with no offer made. Despite his scoring ability, there are doubts about his market value as Monk signed for less than $20M per, potentially impacting Thompson's negotiations. Speculation suggests that Thompson may leave the Warriors, his long-time team, as free agency approaches.
As for Klay, if he has a legit offer out there, I can't be mad at him. The market is the market. But if it's smoke & mirrors...then it does feel worse. GSW didn't pay the max in '19 heavily based on loyalty. They paid market rate. But Klay can't overplay loyalty now either imo.
It's tricky to speculate on a specific decision weeks before it's made because they're almost all dependent on other decisions. Looney's $8M could look better to GSWs if the Klay/CP3 decisions go down a more inexpensive route. https://t.co/Jnib9IoHFm

Talks between Klay Thompson and the Warriors are essentially frozen, per sources. There has been no offer made. It's more probable than ever he may leave the only franchise he's known, regardless of his market. Latest update at @TheAthletic https://t.co/hlj9a7Oa4w

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
