Klay Thompson is staying in the Bay. While there was rampant speculation over whether his Warriors teammate Kevin Durant would remain with the team, and Durant ultimately chose to sign with the Brooklyn, there was never such speculation with Thompson. For most, it was assumed Thompson would remain with the team that drafted him, as it has been his stated intention to retire with the Warriors.
Thompson will sign a full, $190 million max contract, according to Marc Stein of The New York Times which should become official once the free agent moratorium period closes on July 6.
Thompson also confirmed he’s coming back on Instagram Monday morning, posting a hilarious clip from The Wolf of Wall Street of Leonardo DiCaprio telling his coworkers he’s not leaving. Thompson included the caption: “Mood (there was never a doubt) #warrior4life”. Stephen Curry responded with a bunch of laughing emojis followed by “Let’s go bro! Congrats”.

Happy to have you back Klay.
