What might have been revealed by Klay Thompson's unfollow of the Golden State Warriors in his coming in NBA free agency?
This season, Klay Thompson will be a free agent. He may also transfer to the Golden State Warriors, with whom he's played all of his 13 NBA conditions. The team wants him back at a lower price than the$ 38 million annual wage he received before his five-year agreement, which has just come to an end.
The four- day NBA champion perhaps had indicated how he sees his baseball future by unfollowing the Warriors on Instagram and scrubbing almost all photos and references to the team from his account. Attentive viewers noticed the change, which was immediately reported by SFGate's Gabe Lehman.
Thompson, 34, reportedly turned down a two- yr,$ 48 million extension past season, which certainly demonstrates that he's not good on taking a almost 50 % pay cut. Maybe he wants a longer agreement, as well.
Athletes unfollowing their groups on social media, particularly amid deal disputes, is little new nor is it an indication that a person intends to go elsewhere. Brandon Aiyuk, who is trying to negotiate a new lease with the San Francisco 49ers, unfollowed the team in April as a new case. But doing so good hints at some stress or is a passive- violent attempt at making a speech.
This season, Thompson appeared in 77 games for Golden State, averaging 17.9 points and 2.3 assists while shooting 39 % on three- pointers. Several NBA teams would likely be interested in adding that kind of production, but may have reservations about his health after he missed two full seasons with knee and Achilles injuries.

Thompson has played two full seasons ( in addition to 32 games in 2021- 22 ) since then. But his 0- for- 10 shooting performance in the Warriors ' loss to the Sacramento Kings in their play- in game may have left a lasting impression with league executives.
Thompson likely wants to end his NBA career with a winner rather than a big payout from a losing team, despite the Warriors ' reportedly asking for a bigger contract. The Oklahoma City Thunder, Philadelphia 76ers, Dallas Mavericks, and Orlando Magic are some potential interest teams.
However, it seems likely that Thompson's market will be determined by the deals other free agents have signed and the gaps that teams may be attempting to fill accordingly.
