After failing to make the playoffs last season, the Golden State Warriors are now facing difficult decisions regarding the future of their star forward, Klay Thompson. Despite the uncertainty, the Warriors are eager to re-sign their star player, as general manager Mike Dunleavy Jr. recently shared.
On Monday, Mike Dunleavy Jr. met with the media and discussed the team’s mindset regarding Thompson.

“All that stuff, I think honestly, Tim, is private. We want him back. I think we’ve said that all along. Hopeful he’ll come back, but as far as the specifics of discussions and those types of things, I think it is important to keep in-house. When we figure out a solution to all that, we’ll have news for you,” Dunleavy said.
Thompson has spent his entire career with the Golden State Warriors but was unable to reach an agreement on a contract extension with the team after last season. This has fueled speculation about his future with Golden State. Recently, Thompson added to the controversy by unfollowing the Warriors’ team on Instagram and deleting all his posts related to the team.
Klay Thompson’s Challenging Season Raises Questions About His Future
Klay Thompson has been a powerhouse for the Golden State Warriors, contributing vehemently to their four championship victories. However, his performance took a noticeable dip this past season when his scoring average dropped to 17.9 points per game.
In the 2023–24 season, the Warriors star played 77 games and averaged 3.3 rebounds and 2.3 assists per contest. He shot 43.2% from the field and 38.7% from three-point range, which is respectable but below his usual standards.
Thompson faced challenges throughout the season, including losing his starting job. He struggled to regain the form he had before his injuries, which hampered his ability to perform consistently. At last, his season ended on a particularly low note when he missed all 10 shots in a play-in loss to the Sacramento Kings.
Thompson’s reduced impact on the court has led to difficult decisions for the Warriors regarding his future with the team. The organization is keen on re-signing him, but his recent performance has introduced some uncertainty.
RUMOR: Los Angeles Lakers Looking To Provide Big Boost For Anthony Davis With Key Offseason Acquisition
Recent reports by NBA insider Ian Begley suggest that the Los Angeles Lakers are closely monitoring their offseason options at center. Begley mentioned that if the Lakers add another big man to the roster, then Anthony Davis will have the opportunity to play more at the power forward position alongside a center.
“The Lakers have visited with some top centers in the draft. They have the No. 17 pick in the first round. The club could also obviously pursue a center in free agency. Adding a traditional big man would, in theory, allow Anthony Davis more opportunity to play power forward alongside a center.” Wrote.
The Lakers are facing financial constraints this offseason, so they will likely need to consider offering minimum contracts during free agency. Anthony Davis excelled while predominantly playing at center for the Los Angeles Lakers last season. Now that the NBA Finals are over and the upcoming month approaches, teams across the NBA are preparing for the Draft.
