The 2023-2024 season is very close for the NBA and Klay Thompson. This is Klay Thompson’s final season in the Golden State Warriors’ 5-year, $189.9 million contract.

With a value of $43.2 million for next season, Klay Thompson has a salary that really causes the host team’s salary budget to swell too much, causing GSW to reach level 2 of the newly announced salary regulations. of CBA. This creates enormous pressure for the home team at Chase Center because of heavy tax fines and accompanying regulations.

Klay Thompson wants to retire in the Golden State Warriors jersey and the Warriors are also very willing to let that happen. However, according to ESPN journalist Andrian Wojnarowski, there has been “no progress” in negotiating the salary and number of years in Klay Thompson’s new extension contract.

The fact that they have reached threshold 2 in the CBA’s new salary regulations has made the Golden State Warriors find it difficult to negotiate a new contract with Klay Thompson. Because of the heavy factor in salary, the Golden State Warriors had to trade Jordan Poole, a potential player to replace Stephen Curry in the future. If he signs a new contract with the Golden State Warriors now, Klay Thompson needs to reduce his salary to an acceptable level so that the team can have more comfort in the future. This was done by James Harden once with the Philadelphia 76ers last season.

However, if both Klay Thompson and the Golden State Warriors cannot reach an agreement, there is a high possibility that Klay Thompson will become a free agent next season, saying goodbye to the place where Klay Thompson has been for his entire career. Karma. If this happens, Splash Brother will no longer exist.
