After suffering a loss in the 2023-24 season, the Golden State Warriors are looking forward to the upcoming 2024 offseason, hoping to sign or trade some stars to continue to assist Stephen Curry, Klay Thompson and Draymond Green in their fifth championship.

However, as they head into the offseason, they have to do first. It was to renew the contract to keep star Klay Thompson, because his five-year, $190 million contract had expired. With Klay Thompson's qualifications, he qualifies for a four-year super-cap contract of not less than $200 million.

Since last year, the Golden State Warriors have been in discussions with Klay Thompson about a contract extension. The Golden State Warriors made offers of $100 million over four years and $48 million over two years, respectively, and it was clear that Klay Thompson felt disrespectful. After all, he helped the team win four championships, and as a quadruple champion, he is also a top five scorer in history.

At the age of 34, averaging 17 points per game, and a top-five shooter in the league, how much contract is Klay Thompson worth now? In the eyes of the Golden State Warriors management, Klay Thompson's condition is not as good as before, the offensive and defensive threat is greatly reduced, and he is prone to injury, and it is no longer worth the team to offer a contract with an annual salary of more than $30 million.

Recently, there was even more news that the Golden State Warriors are no longer prioritizing the renewal of Klay Thompson. It means a 4-year, $100 million contract, you sign it and stay, if you don't sign it, you can leave. In the face of the ruthlessness and unrighteousness of the Golden State Warriors, Klay Thompson was also very angry.

Soon, Klay Thompson's actions on his personal social media attracted a lot of attention from the outside world. According to US media inquiries, Klay Thompson has taken down the official account of the Golden State Warriors and has cleared any Warriors-related posts on his Instagram.

Klay Thompson was drafted by the 2011 Golden State Warriors, and he has been a Golden State Warriors player since he entered the league, during which time he partnered Stephen Curry and Draymond Green, reached the Finals six times, won four championships, and he has been the team's most reliable key shooter in the playoffs.

However, after suffering major injuries in 2019 and 2020, Klay Thompson is no longer favored by the outside world. Although he helped the team win a championship when he returned in the 2021-22 season, the poor performances in the 2022-23 and 2023-24 seasons made the team start to have too much trust in him.

Klay Thompson, who has just returned from the final year of a five-year, $190 million contract and will become a free agent in July, now appears to be disrelating to the Golden State Warriors. While his profile on X remains the same, the last post he made there was more than four months ago.

Klay Thompson took off the Golden State Warriors and deleted the news with the Golden State Warriors, all of which means that Klay Thompson has collapsed with the Golden State Warriors management on the issue of contract extension. Klay Thompson's behavior may be to put pressure on the Golden State Warriors to offer him a bigger contract.

According to the latest reports, playoff teams such as the Orlando Magic, Dallas Mavericks, and Philadelphia 76ers are all interested in Klay Thompson, and they all want to get a shooter like Klay Thompson. The Orlando Magic and Philadelphia 76ers, in particular, have a lot of salary space heading into the 2024 offseason, and they could offer Klay Thompson a four-year, contract of at least $120 million.

Moreover, in their state, the federal taxes are lower, which allows Klay Thompson to actually get a higher salary. Now, Klay Thompson is likely to end his career with a new team, a team that respects him and gives him a bigger contract.

Regardless, Klay Thompson is a hero in the Bay Area, and he has saved the team many times in the playoffs with brilliant three-pointers. In the past, he has also expressed his thoughts and desires on many occasions about his desire to retire with the Golden State Warriors. However, in the current situation, this wish is impossible to achieve.

If Klay Thompson leaves the Golden State Warriors, it could mean the true end of the Golden State Warriors dynasty. Although Klay Thompson's three-point threat is not as good as before, many teams do not dare to take him lightly during the game.
