Orlando not that into Klay Thompson?
“The Warriors are expected to be paying the most in luxury tax for next season. They just paid an estimated $177 million just to miss the playoffs. The biggest thing for sure is the Klay Thompson stuff. At this juncture, I am skeptical there’s really much of a market out there. The Orlando stuff, I’m not so certain about. There’s definite word that the Magic are only going to be willing to offer a two-year balloon payment bigger than what they did for Joe Ingles last year.”

More on this storyline
The Golden State Warriors have a two-year contract offer on the table for Klay Thompson ahead of his upcoming free agency, according to ESPN’s Tim MacMahon. During a Thursday appearance on The Hoop Collective, MacMahon revealed that “we’ve heard its a two-year offer” (30:25 mark). He added that the duration of the deal could mean more to Thompson than the price, explaining that “it’s as much about years as dollars in some of these cases.” -via Bleacher Report / June 21, 2024
