Theo Pinson asks Klay Thompson to make a decision
Klay Thompson was selected by the Golden State Warriors in 2011 as the 11th overall pick. Since then, he has remained loyal to the squad. However, he is now set to enter free agency. Pinson thus reflects on Thompson’s current team and mentions how they don’t value the player.
The Dallas Mavericks shooting guard also acknowledged that several teams, including his own, are interested in signing Klay Thompson. He emphasized the value his team places on the player, suggesting that when Thompson feels valued, he will be able to play more effectively.
Pinson said, “Golden State doesn’t see your value... Leave… There are other teams that they like. 'F*ck that, Klay, we want you here'... And when you feel that, you will play better.”
Meanwhile, Team Mavericks who were last seen playing for the 2024 Finals, is said to have traded Tim Hardaway Jr. to the Detroit Pistons. Thus, they are looking for a replacement for Hardaway Jr.
It is worth mentioning that it's also believed that there are currently no ongoing discussions regarding contract extension between Thompson and the Warriors taking place and that the player may opt for a three-year contract if he chooses free agency.
