Could the Lakers land Klay Thompson? NBA insider has LA going for the superstar

Even when Klay Thompson has stated he wants to stay with the Golden State Warriors and is considering taking a smaller role inside the team, it has been a disastrous season for the superstar. So much, so that rumors suggest the Warriors will let him enter free agency.

If Thompson happens to become a free agent, an NBA insider has revealed that two of the players that could be interested in signing the Warriors star include the LA Lakers and the Miami Heat.

“Contract negotiations between Thompson and the Warriors stalled over salary and length of an extension being discussed. I'm told the Warriors were offering Thompson a two-year deal in the range of $48 million before the season.” Reported Kur Helin of NBC Sports.

If those reports are true we could see Thompson available in the offseason. During a guest appearance on the Pat McAfee Show, Shams Charania of The Athletic floated the idea the Lakers and Heat would be two of many teams interested in signing Klay Thompson.

"I think the lack of an extension for Klay Thompson has been an issue and his free agency is looming... He was amazing last night and he's shown that he can still help a team," wrote Charania.
