Klay Thompson appears to be heading towards free agency as the Golden State Warriors have not made progress on extending his contract. Despite the team's desire to retain Thompson, they have not actively pursued an extension, leading the 34-year-old to explore external options for the first time in his career. While multiple teams may be interested, Thompson is focused on joining a team where he can win rather than just chasing money.

Chinese policymakers are aiming to alleviate the housing oversupply issue in China, where around 60 million unsold homes are causing a significant property market slowdown.
