I think Klay, if ever, will be a 1+1 deal. Almost similar to the Sixers and Redick. Basically his role will be Veteran experience and floor spacing.
I don’t think we can sign both Monk and Klay. I think we have to overpay for either of the two.
Then you think this summer is the best chance to sign some Asset? I'd prefer Molik Monk since he is young and more dynamic offensive player than Klay. But I just do not know if he wants to come to Orlando.
Klay wants to get paid. This is probably his last contract. He will demand more years. 1+1 won't cut it. Plus Magic has to overpay
it really is, the window to use our cap space to add valuable pieces is closing, imo.
Monk would probably cost more
Monk will cost much less than Klay. GSW will overpay to keep him- that now looks like 25 (which they offered)…that’s about what he’s worth nowadays. If another team pays much more to steal him from his beloved home…that’s a bad investment. He’s got no reason to take a 1+1 either unless it’s for FVV money or to stay in GSW-with contracts ending along with Steph & Draymond. Not the right move for us…he’s become Grayson Allen with a HOF resume behind him. Very good player and person, but really in need of reality (cap hit) check this summer…go home Klay.
Someone listed all of the teams with cap space to sign Monk for 20-25m…very few and none make sense like us. SAC can’t pay him market value so also can’t facilitate a SnT either…I think he’s ours if the FO wants him and doesn’t play games in approaching him in typical non-aggressive posture. Historically, you go at a guy like that when the FA bell goes off and let him know he’s the priority. I’m just not sure he’s enough- but he’s the best among UFA’s, imo. Smells like Rashard Lewis situation…if you think he’s THE answer- pay the man.
Murray, Garland, or even Trae would be the kind of summer that catapult ORL forward into national relevance. Mitchell too, but the flight risk is too much for me…he and Trae (even Klay) would also likely disrupt the team dynamic more so than the others, for better or worse, as they would step right in as clear “boss”. That’s a risk but not necessarily a deal-breaker…maybe we’re seeing that, for all of our young stars-in-the-making, we still need a “boss” to make the leap. Murray will be available, assuming Trae isn’t, and if Mitchell commits to CLE, Garland could become the low-key best guy available- and an absolutely amazing potential player for ORL.
I’d be happy with Monk…but I hope they quietly sniff around bigger fish first.
Hartenstein? Whatever…like Tyus, nice player, would be a good add if on a realistic role-player deal, but no tremors around the league.
