At the end of his contract at the end of the season, Klay Thompson has still not reached an agreement with the Warriors to extend his adventure. A situation that a franchise on the rise in the league could take advantage of by offering it the jackpot.

No Stephen Curry, no problem. Deprived of their leader this Sunday, the Warriors still managed to win against a Jazz team in total distress (118-110). Klay Thompson notably took the opportunity to show that he had not lost all his talent. Author of a delicate season on an individual level, the other Splash Brother took matters into his own hands in this meeting with 32 points scored:

A surprising suitor mentioned in the Klay Thompson file

Certainly less sparkling than in the past, Thompson is nonetheless capable of catching fire in any match. Not sure, however, that this will be enough to allow him to obtain an extension from Golden State, he who will see his contract end this summer. In this case, an Eastern franchise ready to take out the checkbook to secure his services could come forward according to Tim Kawakami of The Athletic :

Tim Kawakami: One of the worst kept secrets in the league is that Orlando, whose roster is full of young talent but no shooters, could offer a ton of money to Klay next summer .

Surprising 3rd in the Eastern Conference, the Magic (46-32) benefits from a nice financial windfall in view of free agency and could therefore use it to attract Klay.

A choice which, as Kawakami indicates, could make sense given the composition of Jamahl Mosley’s roster. Indeed, there are few snipers there, as evidenced by their average of 31.4 3-point shots attempted per game — 28th in the league — as well as their mediocre skill of 35.3% in the exercise. Recruiting an expert in the field such as Thompson would therefore seem quite logical.

Already equipped with numerous young talents, the Magic are now looking to afford a shooter to accompany them. A portrait that corresponds to Klay Thompson, which could earn him a good offer from Orlando.
