Klay Thompson won’t be the first domino to fall for the Warriors this summer, but he is the biggest.
Golden State Warriors’ Klay Thompson #11 looks up at the score in the third quarter of their NBA play-in tournament game against the Sacramento Kings at the Golden One Center in Sacramento, Calif., on Tuesday, April 16, 2024. Monday that Thompson is joining Team Bahamas for training, though he likely won’t be eligible to compete in Olympic play.
The future Hall of Famer averaged 17.9 points per game on 38.7% from 3. He’s still a valuable player as a floor-spacer, but his on-ball defense has fallen off — understandably so for a 34-year-old who has recovered from a torn Achilles and a torn ACL. Like the Magic, the 76ers have the space and roster to offer Thompson a serious contract and a starting spot. Providing spacing around Joel Embiid and Tyrese Maxey will be crucial for Philadelphia. Thompson would fit the bill.
The Thunder could reasonably offer Thompson something like a three-year, $80 million contract that’s partially guaranteed in the third season. The Warriors still need shooting, especially if they’re going to hold onto Jonathan Kuminga and continue playing Trayce Jackson-Davis and Draymond Green together. Without perimeter shooting threats beyond Steph Curry, defenses can completely load up on the two-time MVP.
