Adrian Wojnarowski on Klay Thompson, Warriors: I’m told that there has been absolutely no progress

Adrian Wojnarowski talked about Klay Thompson Klay Thompson extension talks on NBA Countdown.

«I’m told that there has been absolutely no progress on a Klay Thompson extension in Golden State, that they are both still apart on years and money.
And there’s a very real possibility that Klay Thompson goes into free agency next summer without a deal.

And I think that’s where it gets complicated for Golden State and becomes a little bit something of a high-wire act, especially if Klay Thompson duplicates this year, the kind of season he had last year.

41% three-point shooting, led the league with 301 threes and, you know, his best points per game, almost 22 points a game in several years.
You know in the marketplace, teams value shooting, they value high-level wing defense.

And so I think for Golden State, this has a chance to become the first real test of keeping together that core of Steph Curry, Draymond Green and Klay Thompson».
