For pretty much his entire career since Golden State made the sharp shooter the No. 11 overall pick in the 2011 NBA Draft, it seemed like he would finish said career in the Bay Area.

Outside of his dominance on the court as one half of the Splash Brothers, he’s a fixture in the Bay Area community. Why move on from something this good?

Well, several recent reports seem to suggest that Thompson is actually willing to test the open market. One young Eastern Conference team has come up as a potential landing spot recently.

Meanwhile, the Los Angeles Lakers have always been a possibility given his father’s relationship with the organization and the fact that Klay was born in Southern California.

The idea of Thompson moving on from the Warriors and the break-up of the big three seems foreign. But in today’s NBA landscape, anything is possible.

Yes I wanna re-sign with the Dubs, but I also have to prioritize my mental health and lay out what’s important to me at this point in my career,” Thompson told Green.

Indeed, the 2023-24 season has been taxing for Thompson and the Warriors. The future Hall of Famer was relegated to bench duties back in mid-February. While he has since re-joined the starting lineup, it certainly led to some combative moments behind the scenes in San Francisco.
