The Golden State Warriors "absolutely want" Klay Thompson for the long haul as the star guard enters the final year of his contract, according to ESPN's Brian Windhorst.
Windhorst said Monday on Get Up the Warriors, however, might look for Thompson to take a pay cut compared to his $43.2 million salary in 2023-24:
"But if you look at what they did last year with Andrew Wiggins, I think it's very instructive. Wiggins was a key part of their championship team. They absolutely wanted him and they were willing to sign him to an extension, but that extension included a pay cut.
