The Orlando Magic will be active in the offseason to upgrade their roster, especially with perimeter shooting and Klay Thompson is one player on their radar. The Magic can create upwards of $60 million in cap space.
"One name to keep any eye on is Klay Thompson," said Shams Charania. "I'm told there is mutual interest between the Magic and Klay Thompson."
Thompson is entering free agency for the first time since 2019 and his future with the Golden State Warriors is uncertain. The Warriors are expected to try to reduce their payroll and luxury tax this offseason.

Klay just trying to build leverage. That Magic are going to have to offer him 9 figures guaranteed for him to leave Cali.

Yep. Nothing more than Klay's agent doing his job.

The magic would be better off going after Paul George than Klay if they are going that route. Klay is damaged goods at this point.

Klay could start a new legacy in Orlando, but it could also remind magic fans of the Grant Hill era.

Idk , a change of scenery could do him nice if he's able to stay healthy and the media scrutiny of the Bay is off his back. He's got two decent season left in him i know that and if he's highly paid he should be motivated, i think he's leaning towards being over the GS era
