[Charania] “The Magic can open up an excess of sixty million dollars in cap space this off season…One name to keep an eye on, Klay Thompson, I’m told there is mutual interest between the Magic and Klay Thompson.”

Incoming worst contract of all time candidate?
I would feel bad for Magic fans if Klay Thompson is there big free agent signing this summer.
Klay has great interest in stealing $30m + a year from the Magic
offer quickley a max
Is he going to get the VanVleet contract?
Massive overpay, short term deal, 2nd year is like a team option or something in order for Orlando to protect themselves against him being washed?
Off the bench 2 year Klay contract? Sure.
Starter 2 year Klay contract? Hell naw.
How is this not tampering lol
come on man, magic fans are still obviously hurt from yesterday
We have 3 years until we have to give up on one of Franz, suggs, Paolo (as assuming we don’t make like conf finals or deep second round) why does everyone have such an urgency to try make us a win now team. this team does not need or want a 32+ year old coming in. I don’t want Dlo. I don’t want Klay. I’d rather keep our cap space then make moves that haemorrhage our future
Edit: To all the comments saying we have to sign someone for whatever reason, I don’t necessarily disagree. What im saying is that I don’t think a Klay or Dlo is the right signing. They both would want large multi year contracts which may fuck our future and let’s be real. Does adding an aging Klay Thompson or inconsistent Dlo actually move the needle that much?? I don’t think so.
They “can” but they won’t have 60m in cap space.
They’re not going to cut Isaac and they’ll probably keep Mo Wagner.
So they’ll only have ~40m in space. Still a shot ton of money though.
Please give Klay 30m a year! 🙂
Zach Lavine welcome to the team
Is tj McConnell a free agent this summer? Max him.
Magic should throw a max offer at quickley. I am sure the Raptors will match but Idk if that would be their initial plan to give him a max contract
Don’t get the hate for Klay. Yeah, he’s obviously not prime Klay, but dudes that shoot 40% from three on high volume (9 attempts per game) don’t grow on trees and the Magic could use shooting.
People talking about him like he’s some sub 30% shooter and totally worthless.
Zach Lavine would fit the timeline way better
They should go after Zach Lavine. A scoring guard who will help them
Klay Thompson about to pull the reverse Tracy Mcgrady.
This is based on us having cap space and needing shooting, not on actual interest in Klay. This guy is speculating, he has no sources in our FO. If anything, it’s being pushed by Klay’s agent. I’m not worried about this at all.
lol wut
Going for klay feels like what the Knicks did when they signed fournier and kemba after the we here season.
Simons for black and pick
Get ready to learn Klank Orlando
Unironically I think Harden could be really good for them
Orlando Magic Orlando Magic Orlando Magic ooooohhhhh
Seeing Klay in any other jersey would be weird
They need someone good. Go big: Giannis etc.
What the magic really need is a vet who has never been able to create his own shot and is slipping defensively
Do it Klay. I love you but you gotta chase that bag.
No thanks on Klay.
Sign Malik Monk.
Sign Isaiah Hartenstein.
Trade Wendell Carter Jr and Cole Anthony for a shooting wing (Cam Johnson?)
Exercise Team option for Moe Wagner
Decline Team option on Joe Ingles
Renounce cap holds for Markelle Fultz and Gary Harris.
Draft center to replace Goga (Missi, Ware)
Hartenstein
Paolo
Wagner
Suggs
Monk
Wagner
Isaac
Johnson
Howard
Black
No one knew who the Magic were drafting first overall until 10 min before the pick. Shams is a hack that is working for Klays agent.
Klay? 🤣
Why can’t these people just leave their teams alone and let the chemistry build with the young core?? They always got to try to fuck around with big free agent signings.
“Orlando is interested in Klay.”
-Klay’s Agent
Klay is not the shooter you’re looking for…Simons is who you want ::waves hands::
Please not Klay…..
That would really fuck up their current path to contention imo
0% chance this is anything other than klay’s agent calling in a favor with a media mouthpiece
The Magic FO doesn’t leak. Sean just making ish up
ITT: fans terrified of the magic trying to sign their favorite players (Simons, IQ, Monk, and Hartenstein). I think we are all crossing our fingers in the hopes they give Klay a 2/60 deal, but I don’t think that’ll happen because Parker has been pretty smart so far.
I like Lavine there, they need someone who can shoot desperately
We had trouble getting scoring in an elimination game, better sign Klay! Sure he’ll save the day!
Immobile spot up shooter would fit in nicely with a young defensive minded team. Syke.
