For his whole career, warriors star Klay Thompson has been with the same squad. On the brink of free agency, though, he is considering a fresh alliance with LeBron James and Anthony Davis.

“Klay Thompson is intrigued about playing with the Lakers and LeBron James, provided he re-signs with the Lakers,” writes Brad Turner. “Thompson intends to visit Dallas as well as the Lakers.”

Klay, 34, was meant to discuss an extension with his long-time franchise; he is nearing the end of his deal this summer. But following a disappointing Warriors season, it appears GM Mike Dunleavy Jr. is not ready to offer Klay the kind of offer he is seeking. On a contract, the two sides remain far apart; they have had little talks since the beginning of the season.

According to the most recent statistics, Klay is practically extinct from the Warriors and both sides have been ready for their certain split. Although Thompson’s future is yet undetermined, several teams—including the Los Angeles Lakers—are thought to be particularly keen.

Currently a free agency following contract termination, LeBron James, a 4x champion, will shortly re-sign a new contract to guarantee he may play with his son. For the Lakers, this will be a historic event; nevertheless, they will need more than that to stay current with the growing West-based threats. Klay is someone who can elevate their ceiling to still another degree even in this condition.

Though playing alongside LeBron James and Anthony Davis will give all sides an opportunity to make one last run, his days with Stephen Curry and Draymond Green will never be duplicated. The Lakers pair is still among the greatest in the game even at this point of their careers; adding a sharpshooter, championship veteran, and team player like Klay could have a significant impact for them.

Last season, Thompson, a 5x All-Star, averaged 17.9 points per game. His deep-range shooting will be vital for floor spacing around James and Davis. Klay obviously wouldn’t want to wind up somewhere he couldn’t compete, with many title runs under his belt, and that limits his potential landing sites by a notable degree.

If Klay stays healthy for most of the season, he meets all of the clubs’ demands; LeBron is even ready to lower his contract if it would allow the Lakers to include him on the rotation.

Thоmpsоn is expected tо tаke his time mаking this chоice, sо his next stоp mоst likely will be the Lаkers оr Mаvericks. Fоr the fоrmer Wаrriоrs plаyer, this is аn unexpected chаnge оf events; yet, I believe it will be beneficiаl fоr him tо venture оut оn his оwn аnd estаblish his оwn histоry аpаrt frоm Steph аnd the Wаrriоrs.

It’s unclear how much Klay has left in the tank after two significant injuries, but he is betting on himself this summer and hope it pays out totally.
