Let us take a closer look at why the two want to leave the team and will the team be able to meet their demand and retain them?
Why are Kevin Durant and Klay Thompson Leaving The Warriors?
The biggest question is: why?
Why are two of the hottest stars of the Golden State Warriors hellbent on leaving the team that they brought to such heights? Reportedly, Kevin Durant and Klay Thompson have demanded a max contract from the team – and if their demands are not met, both of them will head their own way and join other teams.
This exit would put the Warriors in a precarious position as they would be stripped off two of their biggest stars. Considering that they have won two NBA tournaments back to back, if the Warriors wish to defend their title, they’ll need their star players in the team.
Will The Golden State Warriors Retain Durant and Thompson?
Current reports from the team’s camp point out that the owners of the team are interested in retaining both the players and accepting their contract demands. However, it is likely that only one of them will be retained due to financial reasons. It will be interesting to see who out of Kevin Durant and Klay Thompson the Warriors choose.
