Rumors: NBA trader insider Shams Charania believes that at least
four franchises are likely to make a move for Golden State Warriors veteran
shooting guard Klay Thompson.
The 34-year-old’s contract with his current franchise is set
to expire in the summer and there has been no agreement as of now regarding an
extension.
Therefore, as per Charania, the likes of the Miami Heat, Orlando
Magic, Los Angeles Lakers and Clippers are likely to make a move for Thompson in
the summer transfer window to sign him as a free agent.
“I would expect both Florida teams, both LA teams [to show
interest]...he's gonna test the marketplace,” said Charania.
Thompson has been one of the most consistent performers for
the Warriors this season. He is averaging 17.3 points, 3.5 rebounds and 2.2
assists per game.
In the most recent outing against the Utah Jazz where the Warriors
came out on top with a score of 140-137 at the Delta Center in Salt Lake City, the
Los Angeles-born ended up registering 35 points for the winning team to go with
six rebounds and two assists.
It was the first time this season that the four-time NBA champion
and five-time NBA All-Star managed to register more than 30 points for the Warriors.
