The Golden State Warriors and Klay Thompson are reportedly on the brink of a major split. Sources close to the situation tell The Athletic’s Tim Kawakami that Thompson has already said his goodbyes to some high-ranking Warriors officials, indicating that his departure from the Bay Area is imminent.
Thompson’s potential exit from the Warriors comes after almost a year of contract negotiations that reportedly ended in a tense standoff between the two parties. Now, he will explore the free-agent market, with several teams showing interest in him. The Dallas Mavericks have been heavily involved in talks with Thompson, while other teams like the Los Angeles Lakers and Los Angeles Clippers could also pursue him.
If Thompson does leave the Warriors, he will have more goodbyes to issue in the days and weeks ahead. This seems like the end of an era for both Thompson and the Warriors, as he prepares to move on to a new chapter in his basketball career.
