Three franchises executives believe Klay Thompson will stay with Golden State Warriors beyond this season

Three executives of the other teams are of the opinion that the Golden State Warriors will re-sign veteran shooting guard Klay Thompson in the summer.

The 34-year-old’s future with his current franchise remains in doubt as his ongoing contract will come to an end in the summer and as of now, there has been no contract extension agreed by the parties.

According to a senior NBA insider Michael Scotto, as many as three executives of different franchises shared their opinion that in all likelihood, he will be re-signed by the Warriors once again.

“Three executives believed Thompson would get $18-20 million annually, and the other five predicted he’d get $20-25 million annually,” said Scotto. “Four executives believed Golden State would ideally try to align Thompson with his fellow “Splash Brother,” Curry, on a two-year deal.”

Another NBA executive was also quoted in a report where he stated that in his point of view, Thompson is valued at around $18-20 million per year.

“I see him at around $18-20 million a year,” an NBA executive said while talking to HoopsHype. “I’m not sure he’ll accept that because he sees himself much higher. If all offers are equal, I think he goes back to Golden State. I feel like his relationship with Steph and being able to play in one place is important to him.”
