Thompson scored a game-high 30 points as the Warriors' season came to an end with a 114-110 loss to the Raptors in Game 6 of the NBA Finals, but he tore his left ACL late in the third quarter on Thursday night at Oracle Arena.
on The Warriors offseason plans for KD & Klay: "Their intention is to continue and offer Kevin Durant a full five-year max contract and to offer Klay a full five-year max contract." /P07iEBrPc4- Chris Montano June 14, 2019 Before the historical Raptors victory, 18 teams have been crowned champion since the NBA’s existence in 1950, and only 8 teams in the last 20 years. "It is my understanding, and talking with people in the Warriors organization, that their intention is to continue and offer Kevin Durant a full five-year max contract and to offer Klay a full five-year max contract," ESPN's Brian Windhorst said Friday morning on "First Take." The Suns decision-making is puzzling after the investment into Ayton and Finals run last season.
The Suns then spent 133 million in extensions for wings Mikal Bridges and Landry Shamet. Durant, who is recovering from an Achilles tear, would receive 221 million. 1 pick Deandre Ayton a five-year max contract. Thompson, who tore his ACL, would receive 190 million. And the Warriors still will try to keep both of them in the Bay Area. The team is expected to offer both Klay Thompson and Kevin Durant full five-year max contracts despite the injuries they sustained during the NBA Finals. If we can and do use the DVPE aka 'Kevin Durant Rule' aka 'SuperMax,' then either Klay or (more likely) Dray also goes up to 35. Two of the best basketball players in the world will enter free agency injured. we can always sign KD, Klay, and Dray for the veteran maximum, which is 30 of the salary cap for Klay & Dray, and 35 of the cap for KD, in each case with up to an 8 annual raise baked into the contract.
