“With his Golden State Warriors deal coming to an end, Klay Thompson could be playing for another team in the 2024-25 NBA season. Although the 2024 NBA playoffs are still underway, many teams have already concluded their season, including the Golden State Warriors. That’s why the Dubs now have to think about next season, with Klay Thompson’s future a situation to address by the front office.

The four-time champion with the franchise is set to become an unrestricted free agent in the summer, and it looks like he’s considering playing elsewhere. According to Shams Charania of The Athletic, there’s mutual interest between Klay and the Orlando Magic. “The Magic can open up an excess of sixty million dollars in cap space this offseason. One name to keep an eye on, Klay Thompson, I’m told there is mutual interest between the Magic and Klay Thompson,” Charania said on FanDuel’s Run It Back, via ClutchPoints. Thompson, 34, is coming from a terrible season that puts him in a tough spot to request a lucrative extension in the Bay area. But the Magic need talent and experience around Paolo Banchero, which is why this move could make sense. “Thompson, along with several other vets around the league, are looking at the Magic as a situation where you plug in a guy like Klay Thompson, you plug in another veteran player whether it be at the point guard position, shooting guard position; this team can make a real jump around Paolo Banchero and Franz Wagner,” Shams added.”
