Klay Thompson reacts to Adrian Wojnarowski’s max deal report

“Thompson, who I’m told has an expectation that he would be rewarded with a new, max-level contract extension this offseason,” Wojnarowski reported.

“He’s got a year left on his deal of $43 million next year. He’s come back this year, certainly helped the team to a championship last year, had a historic offensive season this season.

“He’s just the third player ever to have 300 three-pointers in a season. But this is an inflection point now for the Golden State organization. With Steph Curry, Klay Thompson and Draymond Green, who could opt into his deal at $27 million, the Warriors could be facing a payroll and luxury tax over $500 million.”

Shortly after the report surfaced, Thompson attempted to address it himself.

“I’m seeking a championship,” Thompson said. “And everything else after that will play itself out.”

Make of that what you will.

Thompson has obviously been a huge part of the Warriors’ dynasty. But is he really worth a maximum deal at this stage in his career? That is something Golden State is going to need to determine in the near future.
