Klay Thompson desires to get re-sign with Golden State Warriors

Klay Thompson and the Golden State Warriors are unable to reach an agreement on a contract extension before the start of the 2023-24 NBA season, and unless an in-season agreement is reached, the sharpshooter will become a free agency this summer. 

While Klay Thompson stated that he wants to re-sign with the only NBA team he has ever played for, he spoke on "The Draymond Green Show" and explained what is a priority and what would be crucial to him before making a decision. According to GiveMeSports, Klay Thompson stated, "Yes I wanna re-sign with the Dubs, but I also have to prioritize my mental health and lay out what is important to me at this point in my career."

While there has never been any doubt that Thompson wants to stay with the Golden State Warriors, it's interesting to hear him share his thoughts on the process this late in the regular season, with free agency just around the horizon. During his conversation with Draymond Green, he also revealed that he hasn't given free agency much attention because of the day-to-day grind of the season.

I was struggling with that a lot - Klay Thompson

Thompson deserves a lot of credit for being open about the incident and how it affected him throughout the 2023-24 NBA season. The Warriors guard explained that he struggled early in the season due to a variety of issues, including his contract challenge.

As per GiveMeSports, Klay Thompson said, "I was struggling with that a lot at the beginning of this year because of the unknown," Thompson told Draymond Green. "I might have let contract situations or playing time or ... making up a lot of excuses, rather than just appreciating what is in front of me. It took me and Steve [Kerr] like four real heart-to-heart talks to finally break my shell, being like, 'You know what? I gotta have fun this year, I deserve to have fun.' ... I can still be a heck of a player if I just give gratitude and keep that perspective."

The Golden State Warriors guard has had ups and downs since returning to the floor from two serious back-to-back injuries.
