Golden State Warriors GM breaks silence on Klay Thompson free agency

The Golden State Warriors have a multitude of issues to resolve this offseason, but the first and most important is Klay Thompson’s free agency. It’s an issue that remains relevant and seems to be filled with passive-aggressive drama.

Golden State Warriors general manager Mike Dunleavy Jr. spoke to the media during a pre-NBA press conference on Monday, during which he talked about the whole Klay Thompson drama.

“We want him back,” Warriors general manager Mike Dunleavy said. “We’ve always said it. I hope he comes back. But as far as details and discussions and that kind of thing, I think it’s important to stay in-house and that kind of thing. When we find a solution to all this, we will have news for you.

If Klay Thompson was another Warriors player without a legacy, the organization would probably let him go. However, Klay helped build the Golden State Warriors and that’s what makes the decision even more difficult.

“I think I’m reasonable, I’m rational,” Dunleavy said. “That’s how I’m always going to operate.” But to tell a guy like Klay Thompson, who has meant so much to this franchise, to completely take the emotion out of it, I think it’s almost impossible. But it’s a business. We will talk about things and continue to talk about them. We are hopeful, but we will see. We have to understand things.

In all honesty, Dunleavy’s quotes seem a little alarming. It appears that the two sides are still very far from reaching an agreement. It’s very clear that both sides have a lot to figure out before making any real move.
