Warriors still plan to offer Klay Thompson a max contract
Golden State Warriors’ Klay Thompson (11) walks on the court in the first quarter of Game 6 of the NBA Finals against the Toronto Raptors at Oracle Arena in Oakland, Calif., on Thursday, June 13, 2019. (Jose Carlos Fajardo/Bay Area News Group)OAKLAND – The Warriors face plenty of uncertainty on how long it will take for Klay Thompson to heal an ACL in his left knee. They do not have any uncertainty on how much they feel about him.
Therefore, the Warriors view Thompson the same way they view Kevin Durant, who might be out for all of next season while healing a right Achilles tendon. The Warriors plan to offer both of those players max contracts once they become free agents this summer.
