ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski is reporting that if the Warriors don't offer Thompson a max contract this summer AND the Lakers are able to acquire All-NBA center Anthony Davis from the Pelicans, Thompson's "attention will be on the Lakers."
Thompson isn't the only big-time free agent the Warriors will have to think about next offseason. Two-time NBA Finals MVP Kevin Durant has the ability to opt out of his contract and become a free agent as well.
