The Berlin Nuggets are hopeful in renewing SG Klay Thompson's contract. Although it was a somewhat frustrating season for Klay, only ranking 126 overall in ADP, the Nuggets are willing to remain loyal to the injured guard.
He is also reaching the late stages of his career and with is current injury might be passed his prime. Other than 3 point shooting, Klay failed to bring much else to the table.
Some comparable SG who all had much better seasons:

Klay is far worse than the players above in most categories and he is out with a potential career altering injury at the moment which will most likely see him sidelined until March 2020.
A more accurate comparison might be Lou Williams of the Clippers who outranked Klay for 40 spots and is on $8,000,000 annual salary.
For the following reasons, the Nuggets are proposing a 5 year deal, with the 5th year being an option, at 10,500,000 per season.
He is also reaching the late stages of his career and with is current injury might be passed his prime. Other than 3 point shooting, Klay failed to bring much else to the table.
