Mychal Thompson: Klay's future with Warriors on ownership, management

Share

Klay Thompson's desires have not changed.

The four-time All-Star does not want to leave the Warriors when he becomes a free agent.

"Playing for one team your whole career is definitely special," Klay recently told Mark Medina of the Bay Area News Group (read the full story here). "Only so many guys have done it in professional sports, so it’ll be a goal of mine. Hopefully it all works out.

"Anything I can do to stay with the Warriors is first and foremost. God willing, it happens. If not, I don’t even think about that.”

Last summer -- when Paul George and Kyrie Irving were being shopped in trades -- the Pacers and Cavs reportedly contacted the Warriors to discuss Klay's availability.

Golden State declined those overtures.

Who knows what may happen between today and two summers from now, but one thing is clear according to Klay's father, Mychal:

“His future depends on Warriors management and Warriors ownership,” Mychal told BANG. “He wants to stay there and has no intention of leaving. He has no desire to leave.

"As long as he’s producing and playing well, he’s hoping the Warriors want him as much as he wants them.”
