NBA News Roundup, Tuesday, May 7th: Klay Thompson could join the Clippers, DeMarcus Cousins eyes Warriors comeback and more

Klay Thompson could join the Clippers

Golden State Warriors v Los Angeles Lakers

Klay Thompson has spent his entire career with the Golden State Warriors, and despite hitting free agency this summer, many had tipped the 29-year-old to remain with his current team. However, according to ESPN, Thompson could look to join the Clippers if the Warriors fail to meet his salary demands:

If they come with a five-year, $190 million max deal for Klay Thompson, that's done on July 1. He's going into the new building with Steph Curry. If they try to do anything less than that, you can expect Klay Thompson to be out in free agency. Watch not for the Lakers then, but the Clippers.

At 29, Thompson is entering the prime of his career, and the Clippers are known to be targeting the signing of two free agents this summer. Nevertheless, the Warriors still look likely to secure Thompson's long term future by offering him a new max deal.
