Warriors fans have had plenty of reason to expect Klay Thompson's exit for the past several months, but the possibility became very real Saturday, when the Athletic reported the team is bracing for Thompson's exit.
The Warriors have reportedly had close to zero communication over the past two weeks, when they had a window to exclusively negotiate his return. Both sides now believe Thompson's tenure in the Bay Area is over.
Thompson himself had already provided plenty of warning by wiping his social media of all Warriors mentions.
With Thompson set to hit free agency for the first time of his 13-year career Sunday, the Los Angeles Lakers, Los Angeles Clippers and Dallas Mavericks are reportedly strong suitors for his talents.
