The upcoming free agency stands crucial for both Klay Thompson and the Warriors. Will the franchise extend his contract or end their 12-year-old bond? At the moment, it is a bit likely that Thompson might not be retained.
So far, both sides have not made any efforts to come to an agreement. This is the only crucial performance from Thompson this season so far, although it has been only 3 games. With continuous performances like this, Thompson can indeed bag the extension he is demanding.
