Klay Thompson emphasized that a diminished role would not deter him from re-signing with the Warriors in the upcoming offseason, as conveyed to Logan Murdock of The Ringer.
Thompson, facing the possibility of becoming an unrestricted free agent if he doesn’t sign an extension, expressed his commitment to the team regardless of any potential adjustments to his playing role.
“Yeah, there’s nothing wrong with that,” he said. “I’ll be 35 next year. At 35, coming off the ACL and an Achilles [tear] and still have the ability to be a really good player. Maybe not the guy who scored 60 in three quarters and scored an NBA record 37 points in a quarter, but still a great threat out there.
“I’ve modeled my game after Reggie [Miller] and Ray [Allen], and those guys were incredibly effective until their late 30s. So I plan on kind of following that mold.”
