Orlando to pursue Klay Thompson in free agency?


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).

Clutch Points: “He’s shown still, that he can be Klay Thompson…I would expect both Florida teams, both LA teams [to show interest]…he’s gonna test the marketplace.” Shams Charania on Klay’s future with the Warriors 🗣 (via @PatMcafeeShow) pic.twitter.com/UKzHrtzQEm -via Twitter @ClutchPointsApp / February 16, 2024
Jorge Sierra: “I thought about Manu Ginobili. That guy has four rings and a gold medal, and he came off the bench his whole career. And I don’t think anyone looks down on his Hall of Fame candidacy because he’s one of the greats.” — Klay Thompson pic.twitter.com/8RDtgjYTc9 -via Twitter @hoopshype / February 16, 2024
