Now, one of the top players on the free agent market has a decision to make.
ESPN reported that Thompson is planning to talk with the Lakers, Mavericks, Clippers and 76ers.
Thompson and the Warriors could never get on the same page on a contract extension, with The Athletic reporting that Thompson’s side felt “that the Warriors’ interest in a reunion has been disingenuous.”
The 34-year-old sharpshooter has lost a step and is coming off meager production — for him, at least — of 17.9 points per game, his fewest since his second year in the league.
The 6-foot-6 Thompson is still a high-level shooter — he hit 38.7 percent of his attempts from 3-point range last season — and could obviously help a contender.
The Lakers and Mavericks can offer Thompson the $12.9 million midlevel exception.
