Report: Klay bid a cordial farewell to some Warriors officials Originally appeared in Sports NBC Bay Area
It looks like Klay Thompson will soon be officially saying goodbye to Dub Nation and the Warriors organization.
With Thompson reportedly “Determined” to leave Golden State In free agency, the veteran Warriors guard has already said goodbye to some high-ranking Warriors officials. The Athletic’s Tim Kawakami reported Saturday, citing an NBA source.
“Klay Thompson is set to become a free agent and, barring a dramatic mood change, the Warriors and Thompson are more than prepared for his impending departure from the Bay Area,” Kawakami wrote. “So prepared, an NBA source indicated this weekend, that Klay and high-ranking members of the Warriors organization have cordially parted ways.”
Thompson’s likely, but unofficial, departure from the Warriors comes after nearly a year of on-again, off-again contract negotiations that reportedly ended in a “tense confrontation”“between the two sides.
Now he will test the free agent market, where he will be strongly pursued by the Dallas Mavericksaccording to Monte Poole of NBC Sports Bay Area, and could receive interest from other teams such as the Los Angeles Lakers and Los Angeles Clippers.
If this is indeed the end of Thompson’s Warriors career, he’ll certainly have plenty of other farewells to say in the coming days and weeks.
