Amidst the swirling rumors surrounding a potential contract extension for Klay Thompson with the Warriors, team owner Joe Lacob has called for everyone to remain calm.

ESPN insider Adrian Wojnarowski recently reported that there has been no significant progress in the ongoing negotiations between Thompson and the team. He also stated that there is a real possibility Thompson may enter free agency next summer without a deal.

However, Lacob reassured Warriors fans that the team is committed to keeping Thompson in Golden State. Speaking on 95.7 The Game, Lacob emphasized that negotiations involve two sides and urged patience, drawing parallels to Draymond Green’s contract situation in the past. He expressed confidence that things will work out and highlighted the positive intentions of both parties involved.

Entering the final season of his five-year $190 million contract, 33-year-old Thompson has stated that the lack of a signed extension will not be a distraction for him during the season. He expressed peace of mind in entering his 13th season and emphasized that his love for the game goes beyond financial considerations.

Thompson has consistently expressed his desire to remain a Warrior for life, a sentiment echoed by his father, former Laker Mychal Thompson.
