Report: Klay says ‘cordial farewell’ to some Warriors officials originally appeared on NBC Sports Bay Area
It appears that Klay Thompson will soon officially part ways with Dub Nation and the Warriors organization.
With Thompson reportedly “determined” to leave Golden State as a free agent, the Warriors guard has already parted ways with a number of high-ranking Warriors officials, The Athletic’s Tim Kawakami reported Saturday, citing an NBA source.
“Klay Thompson is ready for free agency and — barring a dramatic mood change — the Warriors and Thompson are more than prepared for his near-imminent departure from the Bay Area,” Kawakami wrote. “So prepared, an NBA source indicated this weekend, that warm parting words were shared between Klay and senior members of the Warriors organization.”
Thompson’s likely, but not yet official, departure from the Warriors comes after nearly a year of on-and-off contract negotiations that reportedly ended in a “tense standoff” between the two sides.
Now he will test the free-agent market, where he will be heavily pursued by the Dallas Mavericks, according to Monte Poole of NBC Sports Bay Area, and could draw interest from other teams such as the Los Angeles Lakers and Los Angeles Clippers.
If this is indeed the end of Thompson’s Warriors career, he’s sure to have a lot more saying goodbye in the days and weeks ahead.
