OAKLAND, Calif. -- As the speculation surrounding this summer's free-agency possibilities continues, a group of Los Angeles Lakers fans made their feelings known on Saturday night, repeatedly chanting, "We want Thompson!" while Golden State Warriors All-Star Klay Thompson took free throws.

Thompson, who will be an unrestricted free agent at season's end, is expected to draw heavy interest from the Lakers if he decides to not re-sign with the Warriors.

"They should want Klay," Warriors coach Steve Kerr said of the chants following the Warriors' 115-101 win. "If I were sitting with them, I'd chant the same thing."

Thompson has repeatedly stated how much he enjoys playing with the Warriors and wants to remain with the team for years, but ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski recently reported that if Thompson doesn't get a full max offer from the Warriors this summer, it remains a possibility he could look the Lakers' way. Thompson's father, Mychal, played for the Lakers for five seasons.

"What did I think of it?" Thompson said of the chants. "I didn't really hear it. They were way up there. It's part of the game. Comes from a good place, I guess."

The chants, which came from the upper deck inside of a packed Oracle Arena, were booed away several times by Warriors fans. It's the latest example of an opposing fan base showering love on one of the Warriors' All-Stars in hopes of currying favor toward their impending decision.

Warriors forward Kevin Durant has gotten extra cheers from crowds in New York and Los Angeles this season as he continues to ponder what he will do this summer once he becomes a free agent again, as expected. For their part, the Warriors have downplayed the reactions from crowds -- and what the future holds for the group -- all season. Thompson does not think the constant chatter surrounding the Warriors' future has had much of an impact throughout the year.

"I don't think so, because not very many teams believe they have a chance to win a title," Thompson said. "And we're one of them. And I think that's the only thing in our minds. I don't think it really affects us. We're all grown men. At the end of the day, whatever we decide to do, we're all brothers and we're not going to hold any grudges, because it's business."
