What's next for Klay Thompson and DeMar DeRozan?
The latest on Klay Thompson sees him as one of the stars the Philadelphia 76ers have on their radar.
According to NBA insider Jake Fischer, Philly could consider offering the four-time NBA champion a 1+1 offer, much like what Bruce Brown received from the Indiana Pacers. He is also on the radar of the Orlando Magic who had a commendable playoff run this season.
Thompson endured his lowest-scoring season since 2012-13, as he averaged just 17.9 points per game on 43.2% shooting. However, he still proved to be one of the best 3-point shooters in the league, with his 38.7% connect rate from beyond the arc.
As for DeRozan, the Bulls are looking to re-sign the veteran forward. He spent three seasons with them and comes off an impressive last season, averaging 24.0 points, 4.3 rebounds and 5.3 assists per game this season. He's also looked at as a trade target for his hometown team, the LA Lakers, and the New York Knicks.
Both Klay Thompson and DeMar DeRozan have been central for their respective team's run this past season. In all probability, they might stick to the Warriors and the Bulls respectively despite the rumors mills churning.
