The Warriors and Klay Thompson are reportedly not close to an agreement on a contract extension as the former All-NBA guard prepares to open his 13th season with Golden State on Tuesday night.Thompson’s camp and the front office are at a “dead point” in negotiations, according to a Monday report from The Athletic, with issues both on the length of the deal and the money involved.There is no deadline for Thompson, 33, and the Warriors to agree to a deal, but with the season opener as a deadline for extensions to many rookie contracts, it’s a time when other agreements come together, too.The Warriors are reportedly aiming to stay under the second level of the luxury tax (expected to be around $190 million), which may be difficult with almost $115 million already committed to the other members of the Warriors’ starting five.Thompson signed a five-year, $190 million contract in 2019 just after tearing his ACL in the NBA Finals.

But the last time more fell in a single day was on May 5, when the city received .54 inches.Oakland similarly saw .19 inches, the most since May 6, when .22 inches fell.The storm came ashore mostly in the Sonoma area, so rain totals were lower farther south.
