Mychal Thompson, father of Warriors star Klay Thompson, said there’s “no question” Klay will re-sign with Golden State, Connor Letourneau of the San Francisco Chronicle tweets. The Warriors are expected to offer him a full five-year maximum deal worth nearly $190MM despite Thompson’s knee injury during Game 6 on Thursday. Thompson suffered a torn left ACL and is expected to miss most of next season.
We have more from the Pacific Division:

Klay is not stupid. Take the max contract. Warriors will be back in the playoffs next year. Watch all the other teams over look GSW and win the championship.
gonna be the one of the most intriguing free agencies ever…even with Klay and KD hurt
That’s crazy. Max deal to someone who may not come back the same. He is a great player though
Klay feels slighted by not being all NBA. Cost him 30m. Dubs should max him. Good guy…great teammate.
