This season is regrettable and helpless for the Warriors, and for Klay Thompson, the same is true, as a historical-level shooter, in the last game of life and death, handed over a 0-of-10 0-point answer, how many people and how many years are unimaginable.
What makes Clay even more helpless is that this year is his contract year, which means that the performance of pulling his crotch in the last game has made him lose a lot of chips at the contract negotiation table.
Klay played in 77 games for the Warriors this season, averaging 29.7 minutes per game, scoring 17.9 points, 3.3 rebounds, 2.3 assists, 0.6 steals, 0.4 blocks and 1.5 turnovers, shooting 43.2%/38.8%/92.7% from three, 57.6% true shooting, and career-low shooting percentages from the field and three-point range.
For Clay, the good and bad of this season are a thing of the past, and now he has a place to go.
According to the rules, this year's Klay is eligible to reach a four-year, $221 million contract extension with the Warriors, and to tell the truth, if it was Klay three years ago, this contract would definitely be worth the money, but now, unless the Warriors boss has his head caught in the door, it is absolutely impossible.
In fact, in the offseason last year, the Warriors had negotiated a contract extension with Klay, but because of the length and salary issues, the two sides finally broke up, it is understood that the Warriors were only willing to provide him with a 2-year $48 million contract extension, but Klay refused, so the negotiations ran aground.
After the 0-point tragedy, coupled with the team's salary space in the next few years, many fans believe that Tonku is about to disintegrate, and what will the Warriors choose?
According to Sam Amick of the Athletic, although the two sides were previously unable to reach an agreement due to contract extensions, owner Korab still believes that the Warriors have a chance, so they offered Klay a contract similar to that of Holiday .
Previously, the Green Army gave Holiday a 4-year, $135 million contract extension, which is also the largest contract that the Warriors can offer Klay, I have to say, the Warriors are really rich, and the Warriors are really sincere.
As for Clay, despite a tumultuous season, he still has a lot of confidence in himself, and he talks about his past performances:
"I've had a big injury in the last few years and I'm not doing as well as I used to, but in other words, my success in 10 years will not be denied because of one failure, and it will not affect my future because of one failure. ”
Truth be told, if the Warriors can really offer a contract with an annual salary of more than $30 million, Klay has no reason to refuse, after all, the state and age are there, and it is also a good story to continue to partner Curry and Green, and finally end up in Golden State.
Having said that, it's a pity that this year's Warriors have a 46-36 record that can only rank 10th in the West, and the West is indeed too wild to blame.
