Klay Thompson, who, like Kevin Durant, is on his way to the open market this summer, was the subject of a veritable Woj bomb on Monday night.
In the wake of the Anthony Davis trade request, which rocked the NBA, Adrian Wojnarowski joined Scott Van Pelt on SportsCenter and detailed a situation in which Thompson, who has repeatedly expressed an interest in remaining in the Bay, could turn his eye to the Lakers.
“The best-case scenario (for the Lakers) is they add Anthony Davis and then Golden State doesn’t offer Klay Thompson a max contract — they try to get Klay to take a little bit less than the max,” Woj said.

They’ve got a lot of players to pay going forward. They want to re-sign Kevin Durant. They want to re-sign Klay. They’ve got Draymond Green coming up in free agency the following year…”
It was exactly a week ago that Klay’s dad, Mychal Thompson, joined “The Afternoon Delight” with Greg Papa and Bonta Hill to, once again, declare just how much his son enjoys being a Warrior.
“People think I’m exaggerating, he is in the perfect situation,” Thompson said on 95.7 The Game. “You can’t ask for anything better than what the Warriors have now and going forward. So, there’s no reason to leave.”
