Cavs fire Bickerstaff despite run to East semis

Klay Thompson appears likely to hit the open market as a free agent as he and the Golden State Warriors haven’t had any notable movement on an extension, sources tell The Athletic.

The Warriors would like to retain Thompson if the contract price is workable and after other aspects of their roster are clarified.

Thompson would like to win and isn’t likely to consider a larger offer if it is from a rebuilding team.

Thompson could command a shorter term deal at a large contract amount given his age and injury history.
