[Wiretap] Klay Thompson, Magic Have Mutual Interest

[GSWFan1994]

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.

Maybe this is a smokescreen by Klay's agent to drive up his offer.

From the Warriors' point of view, do you know what's worse than Klay being given a role above his limitations/current production?

Klay on a bad contract, in the same exact situation.

[Onus]

Please Magic sign him to a contract that we can't match.

[CDM_Stats]

So he's going to mess up another team I like? Sign with the Lakers Klay, goddamnit

Or Toronto. They'd deserve it

[killmongrel]

Hell yeah!

[DonaldSanders]

It's probably just going to end up inflating his value, leading to us signing him for some stupid number. But hey, we can always hope he leaves for the Magic.

[Jester_]

Yes!!!

Ironic that Toronto’s skill in talent evaluation is so evenly matched by its failure in roster management.

[Admiral-Kizaru]

Please take him!

I'm sailing away
Set an open course for the Virgin Sea
'Cause I've got to be free
Free to face the life that's ahead of me
On board, I'm the captain
So climb aboard
We'll search for tomorrow
On every shore
And I'll try, oh Lord, I'll try
To carry on
I look to the sea
Reflections in the waves, spark my memory
Some happy, some sad
I think of childhood friends and the dreams we had
We lived happily forever
So the story goes
But somehow we missed out
On the pot of gold
But we'll try, best that we can
To carry on
A gathering of angels
Appeared above my head
They sang to me this song of hope
And this is what they said
They said come sail away, come sail away
Come sail away with me, lads
Come sail away, come sail away
Come sail away with me
Come sail away, come sail away
Come sail away with me, baby
Come sail away, come sail away
Come sail away with me
I thought that they were angels
But to my surprise
We climbed aboard their starship
We headed for the skies
Singing "Come sail away, come sail away
Come sail away with me, lads
Come sail away, come sail away
Come sail away with me
Come sail away, come sail away
Come sail away with me
Come sail away, come sail away
Come sail away with me
Come sail away, come sail away
Come sail away with me"
Come sail away, come sail away
Come sail away with me
Come sail away, come sail away
Come sail away with me
Come sail away, come sail away
Come sail away with me
Come sail away, come sail away
Come sail away with me

I think for Klay this isn't about the money, really. It's about his own pride. And if the Magic offer him a lot more than the Warriors? I think he'll feel too proud to accept a low ball offer from the Warriors. And if Lacob has told us anything about his plans -- first and foremost -- is his desire to get under the tax. So what is the "magic" number that the Warriors won't match? I'm guessing the absolute most Golden State will offer is 20m for two seasons. And yes, I'm betting the Magic will beat that by a lot.

Conclusion? He's gone.

[BayAreaDub]

Much love buddy enjoy retirement in Florida!

[billinder33]

I'm guessing the absolute most Golden State will offer is 20m for two seasons.
...
Conclusion? He's gone.

I posted 2/24 here a few weeks before the playoffs, but 2/20 sounds a lot more realistic after that end of season performance.

Klay's last 8 months and especially his last 4 weeks really tanked his market value.

[Onus]

Does anyone actually believe that Klay would be able to get his shot off against these wolves?

does he have a market value? i mean when he plays the 4th he is one of the worst offensive players in the entire league, making like 28% of the threes. If you just want him to play bench mins, then why not just play a vet min player?

Nah, David Grays Sail Away for the win.

Crazy skies all wild above me now
Winter howling at my face
And everything I held so dear
Disappeared without a trace
Oh, all the times I've tasted love
Never knew quite what I had
Little darling, if you hear me now
Never needed you so bad
Spinning 'round inside my head

Sail away with me honey
I put my heart in your hands
Sail away with me honey now, now, now
Sail away with me
What will be will be
I wanna hold you now, now, now

I've been talking drunken gibberish
Falling in and out of bars
Trying to get some explanation here
For the way some people are
How did it ever come so far?

Sail away with me honey
I put my heart in your hands
Sail away with me honey now, now, now
Sail away with me
What will be will be

Carry me on the waves to the lands I've never seen

We can sail, we can sail with the Orinoco flow
We can sail, we can sail...
Sail away, sail away, sail away
We can steer, we can near with Rob Dickins at the wheel
We can sight, say goodbye, Ross and his dependency

Can we sing sing sing Klays Orlando trip into reality?

Worth a try...

Well, it's not far down to paradise
At least it's not for me
And if the wind is right you can sail away
And find tranquility
Oh, the canvas can do miracles
Just you wait and see, believe me
It's not far to never never land
No reason to pretend
And if the wind is right you can find the joy
Of innocence again
Oh, the canvas can do miracles
Just you wait and see, believe me
Sailing
Takes me away to where I've always heard it could be
Just a dream and the wind to carry me
Soon I will be free

[EvanZ]

Sheet you thought I was giving the best yacht rock away in the first try? Hell nah

Christopher Cross take it away my brother

Well, it's not far down to paradise
At least it's not for me
And if the wind is right you can sail away
And find tranquility
Oh, the canvas can do miracles
Just you wait and see, believe me
It's not far to never never land
No reason to pretend
And if the wind is right you can find the joy
Of innocence again
Oh, the canvas can do miracles
Just you wait and see, believe me
Sailing
Takes me away to where I've always heard it could be
Just a dream and the wind to carry me
Soon I will be free
Fantasy
It gets the best of me
When I'm sailing
All caught up in the reverie
Every word is a symphony
Won't you believe me?
Sailing
Takes me away to where I've always heard it could be
Just a dream and the wind to carry me
And soon I will be free
Well, it's not far back to sanity
At least it's not for me
And if the wind is right you can sail away
And find serenity
Oh, the canvas can do miracles
Just you wait and see, really, believe me
Sailing
Takes me away to where I've always heard it could be
Just a dream and the wind to carry me
And soon I will be free

Randy Newman's "Sail Away"


In America you get food to eat
Won't have to run through the jungle
And scuff up your feet
You just sing about Jesus and drink wine all day
It's great to be an American
Ain't no lion or tiger, ain't no mamba snake
Just the sweet watermelon and the buckwheat cake
Ev'rybody is as happy as a man can be
Climb aboard, little wog, sail away with me
Sail away, sail away
We will cross the mighty ocean into Charleston Bay
Sail away, sail away
We will cross the mighty ocean into Charleston Bay
In America every man is free
To take care of his home and his family
You'll be as happy as a monkey in a monkey tree
You're all gonna be an American
Sail away, sail away
We will cross the mighty ocean into Charleston Bay
Sail away, sail away
We will cross the mighty ocean into Charleston Bay
