Could he don the Purple and Gold this fall?
Future Hall of Fame Golden State Warriors swingman Klay Thompson, a five-time All-Star and four-time champion, is set to become an unrestricted free agent and depart the only pro team he's ever known on Sunday, reportIt appears Thompson, whose father Mychal is a Showtime Laker and has been calling games for the team for decades, is preparing to meet with his hometown Los Angeles Lakers and the Dallas Mavericks.
Thompson, along with nine-time All-Star point guard Stephen Curry and four-time All-Star power forward Draymond Green , has been a constant presence for all six of the Warriors' NBA Finals appearances and all four of their championships. His anticipated departure truly marks the end of an era for Golden State, and signals that team president Mike Dunleavy Jr. seems to be aware that his team's 46-36 finish and play-in defeat in 2023-24 is just not good enough.
Thompson had been signed to a five-year, $189.9 million contract, and will certainly not fetch anything at that level this time around.
