I agree with the Warriors’ point here. Thompson is no longer a top defender on defense. He also had difficulty creating his own shot. In addition, he had many injuries.

For the above reasons, Thompson’s problems with defense, point creation ability and injuries have reduced his value in the eyes of the Golden State team. This team did not want to meet his proposed price, perhaps because they thought it was not worth investing in a player with such limitations.

Although Thompson was once an important part of the Golden State Warriors’ success, the current situation with defensive, point-creation and injury issues has made him an unattractive option. The team context wants to find players with the ability to make greater contributions.
