On June 30, Beijing time, as the draft came to an end, the teams also accelerated the processing and competition for free agents and restricted players, among which the Warriors' championship merit Klay is undoubtedly the most concerned one, before the start of the 23-24 season rejected the Warriors' 2-year offer of 48 million (there is also news that 50 million US dollars), Klay returned to free agency after the end of the season, and then the contact between the two sides was limited, and all the news has been negative, with the end of the draft, the two sides determined that the relationship broke down, Clay will be looking for another owner.

According to a joint report by Shams and Anthony Slater of the Warriors, the relationship between the Warriors and Klay has completely broken down, and a legendary dynasty and a legendary player are ready to part ways.

Similar to previous news, there has been little communication between Klay and the Warriors over the past two weeks, and the Warriors have not made any offers, always looking at Klay as an alternative.

The Warriors' plan is to come back and negotiate with Klay after they have other matters done, and the latter is unwilling to wait as an alternative, believing that the Warriors lack sincerity about a reunion.

As a result, Klay was determined to find a new home, and both Klay and the Warriors believed that their 13-year partnership was over.

The news came as a shock to the league, but the result was not a surprise, as the two sides were clearly reluctant to continue this summer after several seasons of unpleasant cooperation.

The Warriors have long been revealed to see Klay as an alternative, and their first plan is to pursue Paul George, as well as trade for another top star, and if all else fails, they will consider re-signing Klay again.

Klay, on the other hand, was bitter about the poor performance of the past few seasons and wanted to start over in a different environment, and even once it was revealed that he would not choose to stay with the team even if the Warriors offered a higher contract amount and duration.

Shams made it clear in a follow-up report that Klay had never felt the support of management for the future of the team in the past few years, and that the team was disappointed that the team had selected Poole, who had signed a big contract extension, Moody, and Podzemski.

In the face of such a situation, the outside world generally has a regretful attitude, and many American media released a group photo of the Warrior Splash Brothers for the first time, with the text: "The end of an era." ”

Klay trainer Jordan Lawley also posted a photo of Curry and Klay, giving an evaluation of "the end of an era".

As a historic three-point shooter, Klay has no shortage of suitors, and after it was revealed that he fell out with the Warriors, multiple teams rushed to grab people.

The Lakers, Clippers, Mavericks and Nuggets have become serious contenders for Klay, and there are several teams with salary space willing to offer Klay a contract.

It's just that if Klay wants to join teams like the Lakers, Clippers and Mavericks, there is a high probability that he can only get a full midriff of $12.9 million.

Taking the Lakers as an example, if the contract extension of James is renewed, the full middle class is already the most sincere free signing method that the Lakers can come up with, and James will need to cut his salary by about $16 million to achieve, and the latter is also clearly willing to take a salary cut for Klay.

Of course, in addition, teams such as the Lakers can also get Klay through a sign-and-trade, which is also a situation that the Warriors prefer to see, on the one hand, they can exchange some chips for the team, and on the other hand, they can increase Klay's potential income.

As for the Warriors, with Klay's expected departure and Paul's potential departure, the Warriors' book salary has suddenly decreased by as much as $73.2 million, and the Warriors have the hope of becoming a middle-class exception team under the luxury tax for the first time in nearly 10 years.

Coupled with the Warriors' first-round picks in the next 7 years, 6 of them belong to themselves, and they can send up to 3 first-rounders, 4 swaps and 4 second-rounds in the trade, giving the Warriors a huge amount of room to maneuver and maneuver.

Unfortunately, the offseason's top target, George, who plans to talk to the Clippers, 76ers, and Magic, has been ruled out of the gap.
