Recently, the NBA league has set off a shocking clash of giants! In the eyes of the Warriors' top management, the former scoring champion Thompson's performance on the court has seriously declined and no longer meets the team's tactical needs. In order to strengthen the team, the Warriors executives did not hesitate to give Thompson a new four-year contract of 88 million, and issued an ultimatum, if you don't sign it, get out!
Such a decision undoubtedly caused an uproar in the entire basketball circle. As a core player of the Warriors, Thompson has helped the team lift the championship trophy many times, and has always been regarded as an indispensable presence by fans. However, his performances have dropped significantly in recent seasons, and in 20-21 he was sidelined for a long time due to major injuries. The Warriors' top brass dared to make such a radical decision at a critical moment, which can be seen in their ambitious decision.
This four-year, $88 million new contract is undoubtedly a very challenging test for Thompson. From a professional basketball perspective, the form and performance of players is changing all the time, especially as players get older and need to constantly adapt and adjust their style of play. For Thompson, however, this contract could be both an opportunity for him to continue to prove his worth and a moment before he faces becoming a free agent.
However, this imperfect New Testament has also sparked controversy. Some people think that the ultimatum of the Warriors' top brass is a hard-line approach, perhaps somewhat inhumane. Others believe that for the Warriors, they must make difficult decisions to stay competitive. In fact, it wasn't an easy decision for the Warriors, as Thompson has been a core member of the team for the past few seasons.
Regardless of the outcome, the Warriors' ultimatum to Thompson this time undoubtedly gave him a chance to prove himself again. Thompson will face tough choices under such pressure. He can choose to accept this challenging new contract and light the flame for the team again; Or he could also choose to become a free agent and fight for a better contract and team.
In NBA professional basketball, every player needs to find their options and way out in the face of difficulties and pressures. For Thompson, he will write his own legend in a new chapter on the basketball court. For the fans, we also look forward to him continuing to ignite his passion for basketball on the court and write brilliant again!
