Klay Thompson is considering re-signing with the Golden State Warriors on a shorter contract, despite being eligible for a larger deal. Money and lineup status are not his main concerns. Thompson's frustrations stem from his own performance rather than the team's. He recently moved to the bench and had a standout game.
Klay Thompson is eligible for a four-year contract worth up to $223 million, but he is open to re-signing with the Golden State Warriors on a shorter deal . A source told ESPN's Kendra Andrews that money and lineup status are not driving forces for Thompson. Thompson could possibly sign a two-year deal this summer to align with the remaining time on the contracts of Stephen Curry and Steve Kerr. Thompson is making $43 million his season on an expiring contract.
When Thompson and the Warriors discussed an extension last summer, talks never progressed to specific dollar amounts and instead a range was presented by the Warriors. Thompson has been candid about his on-court struggles and a source close to him says his frustrations are more about his own level of play and less about the team itself. "He feels like he's letting everyone down," the source told ESPN."He doesn't want to be a drain. He wants to help. He wants to feel valuable." Thompson recently moved to the bench and responded with one of his best games of the seaso
