“[Klay Thompson’s] future has been in question…I’m told that the Warriors offered a deal, 2 years in the range of 48 million dollars in an extension to Klay Thompson before the season, and now there’s no deal.”@ShamsCharania on the current state of the Golden State Warriors.… pic.twitter.com/B0T6rRMo5K

The Splash Brother has been with the Warriors for more than ten seasons, and in 2019, he inked a five-year, $190 million contract extension with the Dubs shortly after rupturing his ACL during the Finals. But by the looks of it now, the Dubs seem to be taking a different direction moving forward and Thompson might end up in free agency if the management does not make any major moves.
Young players are getting more minutes

If we look back at last night’s game, young players like Jonathan Kuminga,21, and Brandin Podziemski, 20, saw more action than, say, Looney, Wiggins, and Thompson. So, Shams adds, “As much as we want to see the Warriors and their vets get a chance to ride this out till the sunset, we’re seeing two young players start to play more and I think it’s interesting.”
Thompson played 27 minutes last night and contributed seven points and five rebounds. This season, he has shown up for 22 of the 23 games the Warriors have played so far and averaged 15.4 points, 4 rebounds, and 2 assists. As the season unfolds, we are yet to find out how his position in the team will pan out.
