It’s always a sweet dream for supporters: to imagine the glories of their team spending their entire career at home, and retiring in the jersey that saw them triumph. This dream is also that of Joe Lacob, the owner of the Warriors. He wants Draymond Green, Stephen Curry and Klay Thompson to leave the NBA at Golden State. Achievable?
The greatness of a franchise is defined by its titles, but also by the legends who made it possible to win them. The NBA is accustomed to seeing players pass for a little dance in this or that team, with the aim of winning a title and spinning. However, some icons resist and forever mark history with a jersey, a coat of arms. The Warriors of the Stephen Curry era have everything from this group that has made a lasting impression. And the Stephen Curry-Klay Thompson-Draymond Green trio, if retired in San Francisco, would be one of the greatest possible symbols for the NBA.
It is in any case the will of Joe Lacob, owner of the team. The idea is more than commendable, it still has to be achievable. For the person concerned, everything is in any case taking the best path at the moment, in remarks collected by Mercury News.
“Of course we would like Steph, Draymond and Klay to retire as Warriors. That’s my goal, our goal, and I think it has a good chance of happening” – Joe Lacob
Contractual point: Stephen Curry and Draymond Green are now both under contract until the summer of 2026. The mesh is assured, the files are warm in the cabinets of San Francisco. The Klay Thompson case is therefore the one that will give work to the financial stage. Coming to the end of a 190 million deal in a year, Killa Klay hopes to pocket a new big mesh package. Does his last performance in the Playoffs allow him to claim a big contract..? Not really. Of course, other factors must be taken into account, but the Warriors are already in trouble with the Luxury Tax, and the next CBA will give even fewer gifts to bad students who spend too much.
We must therefore seriously consider tough negotiations, but the common idea is to continue together until dusk. This season, Klay has offered 21.9 points, 4.2 rebounds and 2.4 assists on 43.7 percent shooting.
