After the conclusion of the current season, Klay Thompson, who plays for the Golden State Warriors, will be a free agent. The state of Thompson’s contract has been in the news ever since the beginning of the season, and it has been under close examination as a result of the difficulties he has experienced on the court. Within the context of the talks, a fresh report revealed light on the relationship that exists between the four-time NBA champion and the owner of the Warriors, Joe Lacob.

Based on the information provided by Sam Amick of The Athletic, it is possible that the contract negotiations that took place between the Warriors front office and Thompson’s camp caused the player’s relationship with Lacob to become strained. The Warriors’ first offer of a two-year extension during the offseason is said to have been the source of this situation.

However, it is possible that Thompson’s value was diminished due to the manner in which he played during the first half of the season. There are no guarantees that the five-time All-Star would complete his career in the Bay Area, despite the fact that all parties are still enthusiastic about the possibility of making it work.The presence of Steph Curry is now one of the variables that has the potential to save the relationship between Klay Thompson and Joe Lacob. Although he has previously voiced his desire to complete his career alongside Draymond Green and Thompson, the greatest shooter of all time has already expressed his desire to do so. Both Curry and Green have the ability to opt out of the final year of their respective contracts. Curry has two more years left on his agreement.

ESPN’s Bobby Marks reported that Lacob wants to get the team out of their luxury tax problems. Thompson’s free agency, Chris Paul’s non-guaranteed deal and Andrew Wiggins’ tradeable contract could help the situation. Marks also pointed out that no team would want to offer Thompson an annual salary of $25 million.
