SHOCK: Klay Thompson to join Lakers?

NBA Executives would be “shocked” if Klay Thompson left the Golden State Warriors to team up with LeBron James at the Los Angeles Lakers, according to The Ringer’ Kevin O’connor. “Thompson will turn 29 this season and will hit unrestricted free agency for the first time in his career next summer,” said O’Connor. “With upward of a decade more of professional hoops remaining, Thompson could decide to wear a different uniform. “And were he to hit free agency, it would be at a time when his particular skill set has never been more valued by this league. Every single team has shooting at the top of its wish list. “The Lakers would definitely love a shot at pairing him with LeBron James. But the expectation across the league is that Thompson will re-sign with Golden State. Executives I’ve spoken with said they would be shocked if Thompson left the Warriors."
