Mark Jackson shares his expectations for Klay Thompson's next contract

Klay Thompson's upcoming free agency continues to be a hot topic surrounding the Golden State Warriors. The veteran sharpshooter is expected to field multiple offers once the free agency period begins this summer. Thompson has repeatedly expressed his desire to remain in the Bay Area.

Still, other teams around the NBA are being linked to possible contract offers for Thompson. The Orlando Magic are among the teams rumored to be in that mix. According to former Warriors head coach Mark Jackson, who spoke on a recent episode of the “Gil's Arena” podcast, Thompson will likely secure a deal in the range of $20 million to $25 million per year.

Thompson will likely make his decision based on his earning potential and the position offered. He is in the final phase of his career. He will likely want to continue to play a big role in the team he plays for as he wants to prove that he can still compete at the highest level.

Despite some rough patches, Thompson finished the Warriors' season with respectable numbers. In 77 games, he averaged 17.9 points, 3.3 rebounds and 2.3 assists on 43.2% shooting from the field and 38.7% from three-point range. It's this consistent goal production that will likely ensure Thompson draws interest from around the league in the coming months.
