Clay’s unexpected actions on social media excited fans, and the Golden State forward added fuel to the fire on his podcast.
There was a general uproar in the NBA world when fans noticed that Klay Thompson unfollowed Golden State on social media and deleted all posts related to the club. This step caused a wave of speculation and conjecture: what is happening within the team and what plans does Thompson himself have? In this context, Warriors forward Draymond Green decided to calm the situation by discussing the situation on his podcast. His reaction was more entertaining than alarming.

“I know everyone was probably waiting for me to talk about Klay unfollowing the Warriors and deleting some social media posts. “I didn’t even know it happened,” Green said. “I think it’s very funny. I laughed so you know. It’s really comical. You all want to see people hurt and show their feelings. But no, this will never happen. “This is a lot of fun,” Green concluded.
However, behind this clear tone a more complex picture may hide. Prior to the start of the 2023-2024 season, the Warriors offered Thompson a two-year contract extension worth approximately $48 million. Thompson rejected the offer, indicating possible disagreements between him and the team over his future role and salary. These types of events fuel interest in knowing what is really happening between the shooting guard and the Californian club. Could this be just a temporary misunderstanding or a sign of deeper problems?

Another intriguing detail is the interest from Orlando, which the Championship wrote about in early April. If Thompson considers changing teams, the Magic could be the new home of one of the best shooters in history. From a financial standpoint, Orlando can offer Thompson favorable terms: his payroll allows for between $60 and $65 million. The question is: can the Magic provide Thompson not only with financial stability, but also the opportunity for a successful future? After all, for a player of this caliber it is important not only to receive a decent salary, but also to have the opportunity to fight for the Championship.
Klay Thompson has always been an important part of the Warriors and his likely departure could be a major event for the entire league. One thing is for sure: Thompson’s situation adds intrigue and makes the upcoming offseason even more exciting. Whether Thompson stays in Golden State or moves on to a new team, his career will attract attention and debate among fans and pundits. The point guard is now 34 years old; Last regular season he averaged 17.9 points, which is the third worst figure of his basketball career.
