Klay Thompson could reportedly take a $50 million discount that could alleviate the biggest concern about the Warriors' future

• Klay Thompson and the Golden State Warriors have already had discussions about a team-friendly contract extension, according to a report.
• The two sides have currently discussed an extension that would come out to about four years, $92 million; Thompson could make up to $139 million if he signed with another team in free agency.
• Keeping the Warriors core together was always going to become astronomically expensive, but Thompson giving the team a discount could help the team stay together.

The concern about keeping the Golden State Warriors juggernaut together always came down to money. How could the Warriors afford to keep four All-Stars and some valuable role players under contract at once?

They accomplished a significant step last year when Kevin Durant took a two-year deal worth less than the max, allowing Golden State to dig deeper to re-sign Andre Iguodala and Shaun Livingston.See the rest of the story at Business Insider
