Pat Bev Urges Warriors To Pay Soon-To-Be Free Agent Klay Thompson “His Money” Deeming To His 4 NBA Championships

It is no secret that Klay Thompson hasn’t been playing on the same level as we have known previously. He is struggling to shoot from the field, struggling with the threes and his defense. Amidst his tough season, fans are questioning his future with the Warriors, who have not yet put a contract-extending deal on the table for Thompson.

Chiming in on the issue in support of Thompson, the Sixers‘ guard Patrick Beverly has a thing or two to say to the Warriors. Sharing his thoughts on his show The Pat Bev Podcast With Rone, Pat Bev calls out the Warriors for not taking care of Thompson.

Thompson could’ve done more for the team if not for his injury

He goes off on the Dub Nation for not acknowledging Thompson’s valuable input into the team. “Man brought Championships to that organization,” he says, and continues that Thompson was on his way to get another one for the team if “if he didn’t f*** up his knee.” Pat Bev urges that the Warriors “give that man his money.”

Players like Thompson have been a huge part of the teams’ success in terms of bringing home four Championships, and Pat Bev isn’t working in saying that such players are “a big part of your business’s success, you get a ton of money, you take care of your person.”

He adds, “It wasn’t a Splash Brother, it was Splash Brothers,” referring to the Steph-Thompson duo. While he understands that it is a business, he prompts that the Warriors ought to look at it from a different lens, “I understand the business part of it but sprinkle just a little human part on it.” Pat Bev is against letting Thompson walk out.

The grey clouds around Klay Thompson’s future

Pat Bev’s burning question is, “Klay Thompson, why doesn’t he have an extension yet?” Before the season kicked off, Thompson was offered a 2-year $48 million contract extension by the Warriors, but that did not materialize into anything. As the season rolled around, there was no other conversation regarding a contract extension, and that’s how things look for the Splash Brother currently.

In recent games, we have seen the Warriors give more minutes to the younger players; they haven’t been starting Andrew Wiggins, for instance. This could be a new direction the team might be moving toward and a potential reason for not doing anything about Thompson. So, unless there are further negotiations down the line, and unless both parties arrive at a mutual agreement, Thompson will walk into free agency.
