Barring a last minute change of position, Klay Thompson is set to leave the Golden State Warriors this offseason. The Warriors are amenable to a sign-and-trade scenario with Thompson to get him to his preferred team
“Klay Thompson, I think it’s very clear his days in Golden State are over,” said Adrian Wojnarowski. “But the Warriors want to help him in a sign-and-trade situation. Perhaps to teams who don’t have the cap space for him to be able to get a bigger contract. And if the Warriors can get back some assets in that, they’re more than happy [to do that]. And they’re going to be on the phones tomorrow trying to help Klay Thompson do that.”
The Dallas Mavericks, Los Angeles Lakers and Los Angeles Clippers have emerged with interest in Thompson. Both the Mavericks and Lakers could potentially offer their full non-taxpayer midlevel agreement at approximately $12.8 million, but sign-and-trade scenarios could also materialize.
The Mavericks are also interested in re-signing Derrick Jones Jr. alongside Thompson, which would almost certainly require a sign-and-trade to fit both.
