Klay Thompson Bids Farewell to Warriors Officials as He Prepares to Explore Free Agency

According to The Athletic’s Tim Kawakami, Klay Thompson has already said goodbye to some high-ranking Warriors officials, indicating that his departure from the Bay Area is imminent. This comes after almost a year of contract negotiations that ended in a tense standoff between the two parties. Now, Thompson will explore the free-agent market, with the Dallas Mavericks showing heavy interest in him. 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. It seems like the end of an era for Thompson and the Warriors, as he prepares to move on to a new chapter in his basketball career. The potential departure of Thompson follows a tumultuous season for the Warriors, who missed out on playoffs for the first time since 2014.
