Klay Thompson on free agency: You’ve still got to examine all of your options, but I would love to be a Warrior for life
Klay Thompson doesn’t see this new assignment as any sort of disqualifier when it comes to his Warriors future. And while Thompson plans on listening to pitches from other teams, it’s clear that staying put is still his preferred option — so long as he feels appreciated and respected in ways that go beyond the financial factor. “Not really,” Thompson said when asked if the sixth-man assignment might change his desire to return. “I mean, you’ve still got to examine all of your options, but I would love to be a Warrior for life.”

More on this storyline
Thompson insists he’s in a good place. “I’m doing great,” he said. “I think I’m doing much better in not putting my identity in my performance, especially after 11 years of NBA basketball. That alone is an incredible accomplishment. And to be out here and still be playing and having fun and being healthy, that trumps any big shooting night or 50-40-90 milestones. It took me a long time to realize that, but once I finally did, my game has been much better. I’ve been so much more at ease and realizing that, ‘Gosh, this is such a cool opportunity for me.’ Guys would kill to be in my shoes, even with all the injuries and all that. The heights we’ve reached are rare, so it’s been awesome.” -via The Athletic / February 27, 2024
Klay Thompson: “Whatever happens though, I’ve got a few more years to play this game, so I’m gonna enjoy every second. I realize that I see light at the end of the tunnel, (and) I’m not sure if I want to play until I’m 40, man. That sounds really exhausting.” -via The Athletic / February 27, 2024
Brandon ‘Scoop B’ Robinson: Warriors G/F Klay Thompson has the interest of the Orlando Magic in free agency this off-season. He also got out of a semi-shooting slump scoring 23 points vs. the Nuggets on Sunday. “He got a short memory and he don’t care what anybody think,” says ex-Warriors teammate @MrAnthonyMorrow to @BovadaOfficial on this week’s episode of Scoop B Talks. “He’s not going to hesitate. He’s going to play the same way every time. That’s why I never worry about him when he get in a shooting slump because I’m like: ‘He’s not going to stop shooting.’ And it’s not like his jump shot just disappears.” -via Twitter / February 26, 2024
