But for Thompson, as the 2023-24 NBA season approaches, the current state of his contract has led to a “very real possibility” that he could enter the next offseason as a free agent, according to ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski.\n\nWhile speaking on ESPN’s NBA Countdown, Wojnarowski offered insight into the current state of Thompson’s contract negotiations with Golden State and just how far apart the two sides are.
