We can't overstate Klay Thompson's incredible and legendary contributions with the Warriors during his 13 years with the team, highlighted by four (4) NBA Championships, six (6) trips to the NBA Finals, five (5) NBA All-Star Game appearances and several NBA records, including the most points ever scored in a quarter in NBA history (37) and the most 3-point field goals in a game (14).
The amount of joy and happiness that Klay provided Warriors fans, Bay Area natives and Dub Nation supporters all around the world has been immense and cannot be minimized. His penchant for delivering in pressurized situations on the biggest stage, including many Game 6 heroics, has helped define a career. Klay's legacy will live on forever and we look forward to the day we can retire his #11 jersey at Chase Center, where he will join a host of Warriors immortals, including those who helped shape this recent dynasty— himself included.
We thank Klay for his contributions and wish him the best as another chapter in his journey is written.

I cannot overstate how happy Klay made me throughout the years. Even through the KD years, I would get the most excited when he’d go on his heaters, like dropping 60 or his 14 threes. I remember I couldn’t get the smile off my face seeing him return against Cleveland, and that first dunk had me waking up everyone in my house.
Truly blessed that I got to witness 11 suit up for the warriors. I hope nothing but the best for Captain Klay 🫡
Oh my god it’s finally actually real
i really am gonna miss klay. i really wanted steph, klay and dray to retire together 🙁
Thank you for everything Killa Klay 🥺
It’s very weird that it’s actually happening, that 2022 ring gets sweeter each day.
Fuck 🙁 I can’t believe this is happening
11 FOREVER☹️
Is his boat for sale? Asking for a friend
The only Warriors player I’ve ever met personally. An incredibly kind and down to earth guy. It was at a Jazz game during warmups and he stopped by to talk to a small group of warriors fans. It was 3 days after the 60 point game and it was wild to hear his story about almost being benched that game for oversleeping and missing walkthroughs first hand. Always my favorite Warrior.
I’m so sad man, really wanted the big 3 to go out together 🙁 this so depressing
This is so depressing
I’m depressed
One of my fav players ever, his spirit will be missed. No more classic interviews, no more boat videos.
“All we do is shoot 3s and win championships” 😖
It’s Klover.
Now we have to deal with fucking KLAY fucking THOMPSON going against us.
Man avg 18 on a BAD year… imagine now that he’s getting healthier with a chip on his shoulder…
Letting him go is sooooooooooo dumb on sooo many levels.
Ya really fell for the dumb Klay hate bait and low balled him
It just doesn’t feel right. Honestly, won’t ever feel right.
We will get him back in 1.5 years
I think this will be good for both sides.
Probably my favorite player, especially personality wise. Wish it didn’t go down this way but wishing him the best all the same
I’d like to see WIggs go as well. Let’s at least get rid of the drama (other than Draymond) and give the news guys more playing time.
It would have been nice to get Paul George though.
How about telling the press and fans how your going to
Replace a player like that
There is 0 on the current roster that even comes close to klay
There is 0 way they could get a 2nd or 3rd scoring option
After curry team is going to be hard pressed to find a 2nd option
I love him. Always will. But anyone who watched last season and even our 22 ring run you can see he’s not there. His head is fucked up and he didn’t play intelligent basketball. 0 points in 30 minutes for his last game as a warriors speaks volumes of what those injuries did to him.
Fuck injuries. Still the best looking shot in the world
This has been a really bad day, and the only thing I can even remotely pin it on is knowing from the time I woke up that Klay was going to leave.
While I will always love what Steph brings in every dimension and element, it was Klay for me. Always appreciated his smooth style, ability to defend ANYONE, and the effortless catch and shoot daggers. Too many highlights and moments to choose from.
Who knows what the future will bring, but I’m rather devastated that he won’t finish his career in blue and gold.
Hows he supposed to commute to work on his boat now??
💔

wish we could see Klay retire here…feels a bit strange having to see him play for a different team. either way thank you for the memories and I’m happy they got to win the 2022 chip
Didn’t think it’d sting this bad
