Word on the street: Klay Thompson to Orlando
https://www.nbcsports.com/nba/news/rumo ... his-summer
It could happen this summer for a variety of reasons (primarily financial). But if not the Warriors, who will chase and pay Thompson? Enter the Orlando Magic, reports Marc Stein in his post-All-Star Newsletter.
Orlando has been increasingly mentioned as a potential suitor for Klay Thompson in free agency. The Magic’s available cap space is difficult to project this far out. That figure could rise as high as $45 million but depends on their future plans with free agents-to-be Markelle Fultz and Gary Harris as well as Jonathan Isaac (whose $17.4 million salary next season is non-guaranteed).

45 million a year for a washed 34 year old spot up shooter?

I actually don't hate this signing, assuming the numbers and years aren't ridiculous.
A change of scenery could do Klay well. He could also teach them a thing or two about winning as he's a vet who won 4 titles.
He will never be the defender he once was but I could see his shooting percentages improving in Orlando too.

Lol...don't fall for dumb media. Magic are as tight lipped as it gets. If you see any rumor about the magic you can guarantee is totally NOT going to happen. Although he would be good off the bench if cheap

They are a smart front office. They would never pay tgat. Klay would be a second or third free agent signing

My Magic definitely don't need to overpay Klay Thompson.

Grizz's Magic should stay the course until they can snipe a true superstar.

Klay strikes me as someone who would refuse to play for certain teams, even though the Magic have a better record than the Dubs right now. Like maybe the rings got into his head and he "deserves better."

Madness is confused with who is in the front office and who was fired
He thinks it's the same front office from when they drafted Nick Anderson

the new front office is even dumber. Theyre the ones who coughed up Aaron Gordon for nothing and Gordon is now a reigning NBA championelartman1973 wrote: ↑Wed Feb 21, 2024 5:13 pm Madness is confused with who is in the front office and who was fired

it would be nice to see Klay finally get to play a lead dog #1 option role, but they would still get raped to death in the first round

He thinks aaron Gordon is a #1, or even a #2
Magic now are better than any Magic team with aaron gordon who would be the third option at best and who banchero has owned already

Madness think Scallabrini would be the best player on the magic because he has a ring
