Warriors, Klay Thompson remain far apart in contract negotiations
But according to league sources, negotiations between Klay Thompson and Golden State’s front office have stalled as free agency draws near, and the two sides remain far apart on an agreement. The Warriors are sorting through their myriad other offseason questions first, while Thompson enters the summer a scorned man.

Don’t get the Warriors rumors regarding Paul George, especially at a four-year max. He’s 34, three months younger than Klay, and like Klay, not quite the player he was before a serious leg injury. Also further muddies Kuminga/Wiggins situation. – 1:07 PM

Dunleavy says stripping all of the emotion from the decisions surrounding Klay Thompson “almost impossible.”
He wouldn’t touch on the state of negotiations with Thompson, which have stalled recently – 6:45 PM

More on this storyline
McCollum made the shocking comments while addressing reports of Thompson possibly leaving the Bay Area as a free agent this offseason. “I think it may be time for both parties to look at other options. I think that’s what they’re doing right now,” McCollum told “NBA Today” on ESPN. “You go from arguably the greatest run the game has ever seen — Klay was a huge part of that [with] his threes and defense, hitting big shots. To be treated the way he was treated this last year-and-a-half or so, I looked at it as disrespect from the outside looking in. I think he may have taken it that way as well.” -via Yardbarker.com / June 26, 2024
Zaccharie Risacher, widely touted as the top prospect in the upcoming 2024 NBA Draft, shared his admiration for several NBA and EuroLeague players he looks up to for inspiration. “[In the NBA] Kevin Durant, Luka Doncic, Klay Thompson, Stephen Curry. In Europe, I would say Sergio Llull, Chacho Rodriguez, and Will Clyburn. There are a lot of players,” he said. -via BasketNews / June 26, 2024
Golden State Warriors head coach Steve Kerr expressed his desire for Klay Thompson to return in free agency. Kerr said that the team wants Thompson back “desperately” in an appearance on the Jim Rome Show (h/t Tristi Rodriguez of NBC Sports Bay Area). “I want him back desperately,” he said. “And we will have our conversations and he’s got to make whatever decision he makes, but we really want him back. He’s Klay Thompson.” -via Bleacher Report / June 26, 2024
