Klay Thompson reportedly leaving the Warriors in free agency had NBA fans in disbelief

Golden State Warriors legendary guard Klay Thompson is reportedly on his way out as a free agent on Sunday.

After 13 years, five NBA All-Star appearances and four NBA championships, the longtime Warriors staple and other half of the iconic “Splash Brothers” alongside Steph Curry is expected to depart the franchise for another opportunity in the league, per NBA insider Shams Charania .

Teams like the Los Angeles Lakers, Dallas Mavericks and Los Angeles Clippers could all make sense for Thompson, Charania reported .

While it’s not entirely clear where Thompson may choose to continue his NBA career, it’s a seismic shift for the league after Thompson’s banner run as a franchise face for one of the best basketball teams of the last decade.

Thompson might not be quite the player he was in his prime, but he’s still a viable starter for an NBA franchise. He should sign with a new team quickly.

NBA fans had a hard time grasping the idea that Thompson will reportedly be playing in another team’s uniform next season, as it’s truly hard to imagine Golden State without him.
