Golden State Warriors guard Klay Thompson has no issues with speculation regarding his future as he believes it proves he is "doing something right".

Superstar Thompson returned from illness to help the Warriors down the Los Angeles Lakers 115-101 with a 28-point showing on Saturday.

The 28-year-old will be an unrestricted free agent at the end of the season and has previously spoken of his desire to remain with the Warriors.

However, reports have linked Thompson with a move to the Lakers to link up with LeBron James should he not receive the deal he wants.

A group of Lakers fans in attendance at Oracle Arena chanted 'we want Thompson' during Saturday's showdown and Thompson is taking the interest surrounding his future as a compliment.

"Look at the bright side, it means you're wanted so it means you're doing something right and it's part of our business," he said. 

"People love - especially when free agency season comes - speculating who's going to go where and who's going to shift the dynamics of the NBA and it's good for our sport, it draws interest."

Thompson, a three-time NBA champion with the Warriors, believes the speculation will have no bearing on his relationship with his team-mates.  

"I don't think so because not many teams think they have the chance of winning the title but we are one of them and that's the only thing on our minds and I don't think it really affects us," he added.

"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."

Head coach Steve Kerr was equally level-headed when asked about the Lakers fans chanting for Thompson, adding if he was among them he would be joining in.

"They should want Klay, if I were sitting with them I'd chant the same thing," he said.

While Thompson prospered, Stephen Curry had a rare off night, eventually making 14 points after missing his first eight shots and not making a basket until midway through the third quarter.

But Kerr was philosophical about Curry's performance.

"We're probably spoiled with him, you see a night like tonight and nobody can believe, including the coaches, that he hasn't made a shot through three quarters," he added. 

"It shocks you because you expect every one [shot] to go but it just reminds you that they are all human and they have tough nights.

"But what makes Steph stand out is that even on a tough night he finds a way to get going after three quarters of zero field goals."
