[Saba Sports News] Klay Thompson hints at Warriors’ issues with cryptic Instagram post. The Golden State Warriors star sparked online buzz with a cryptic Instagram post featuring a serious expression set to Tupac Shakur’s “Me Against The World.” Thompson’s caption, “The type of energy I’m on all season,” suggests his determination after a disappointing season where the Warriors lost their NBA title defense.
What’s intriguing is the timing, as reports indicate that Thompson is struggling to secure a new contract extension with the Warriors. This raises the possibility of him leaving Golden State when his contract expires after the 2023-24 season.
Thompson has been a core part of the Warriors’ culture since being drafted in 2011, but he’ll be in his mid-30s when he becomes a free agent next summer.
With the Warriors already having the league’s highest payroll at $210 million, they must be cautious about tying up their cap space with aging players. For Thompson, this upcoming season is a chance to prove his value as it essentially serves as a contract year for him.
