Klay Thompson Seems Ready To Leave Golden State Warriors

The Golden State Warriors' dynasty appeared to come to a definitive end with their loss to the Sacramento Kings in this year's Play-In Tournament.

Golden State was soundly defeated in that game, and looked like a shell of the team that had won four championships since 2015.

After their loss, many fans and analysts brought up the impending free agency of Klay Thompson. Thompson was a vital part of those four championship wins, but the Warriors have to make a decision.

Does the team keep its championship core together or does it look to get younger amid an ever-changing NBA.

It seems that Klay Thompson may have made that decision for the team before free agency even begins.

SFGate's Gabe Lehman reported that Thompson has unfollowed the Warriors and deleted all Warriors content from his social media accounts.

Thompson turned down the Warriors' most recent contract offer last year, after the team attempted to sign him to a two-year, $48 million deal.

The Warriors could choose to re-negotiate with Thompson this offseason, but it seems that they may be content with allowing him to leave if he doesn't agree to a team-friendly deal.

Potential suitors for Thompson in free agency include the Philadelphia 76ers, Orland Magic or even his father's former team, the Los Angeles Lakers.

Thompson has played his entire career with the Warriors, winning four championships and earning a spot on five All-Star teams. That tenure could come to an end this offseason, and if his social media activity is any indication, Thompson seems content with ending it.
