Refuse 50 million for 2 years! Sorry Curry, he's really planning to leave the Warriors

Ghost drives to layup

As we all know, the Splash Brothers, formed by Curry + Klay, are the foundation of the success of the Warriors dynasty! If there is no Splash Brothers, it is even said that one of them is missing. Then, it is impossible for the warriors to achieve such a high achievement, and it is even more impossible to achieve dynastic hegemony! Although others have also made great achievements in the Warrior Dynasty, anyone with a discerning eye knows that the Splash Brothers are the absolute foundation of the Warriors.

But in this year's play-off journey, the Splash Brothers disappointed us, they let us see only "water" and no "flowers"! In the past, it was easy for warriors to beat their opponents, but now they are easy to be "beaten"! In the play-off game against the Kings, Klay Thompson did not score a point on 0-of-10 shooting, and his performance was a disaster scene.

With the Warriors eliminated by the Kings and completely missing the playoffs, it can't help but sigh that Klay Thompson may have played his last game with the Warriors. The reason is simple, Klay expires his contract as a free agent this summer, and his contract extension talks with the Warriors have not made any substantial progress so far.

Frankly speaking, neither Warriors fans nor Warriors players actually want to see the Splash Brothers separate, and they don't want to see the heroes of the Warriors dynasty leave the team. But the reality makes people have to face some inevitable parting of the ways, such as the potential and high probability that Klay will leave the Warriors!

Of course, Klay Thompson can also not go, but only if he accepts a salary cut and a contract extension! However, the probability of this happening can be said to be very small, because Clay has not given up the idea of pursuing a maximum salary contract to this day. Obviously, the Warriors, who are highly strapped for salary space, will not offer Klay a salary cap, and they will not need to offer Klay a salary cap to keep him.

In the 2023-24 season, Klay played in a total of 77 regular season games for the Warriors, averaging 17.9 points, 3.3 rebounds and 2.3 assists per game while shooting 43.2% from the field. To be honest, judging from Klay's current form and team role, he really doesn't deserve any max salary contract, which he should know. Perhaps, he insisted on asking for the maximum salary just so that he could leave the Warriors as much as possible! Otherwise, I really can't think of the confidence that he dares to ask for the top salary.

While the Magic, who have plenty of salary space, are interested in bringing in Klay, they probably won't offer Klay a max contract after a major injury and a sharp dip in form. Therefore, the most reasonable explanation for Klay's insistence on asking the Warriors for the maximum salary is probably that he really wants to leave the Warriors!

According to a previous report by Shams, Klay Thompson rejected the Warriors' offer for a two-year, $48 million early contract extension before the start of the season, while another Marc Stein said it was about $50 million for two years. Perhaps, from the moment Klay rejected the Warriors' 2-year, 50 million contract extension, we should know the answer, Klay is determined to leave Golden State.

One thing to say, it makes sense for the Warriors to offer Klay an offer of 50 million over two years, and judging from his current performance, it is worth the price. But the arrogant Clay doesn't like this contract. So, I'm afraid I can only say sorry to Curry and the Warriors players! Please accept Clay's departure in silence, he really has no intention of returning.
