Although they have somewhat disappeared from the news since their elimination during the Play-In Tournament, the Warriors remain in the grip of a lively offseason.

Shams Charania only reinforced that feeling with his latest revelation about a franchise executive.

In the turmoil that characterizes the start of the playoffs, their thorny case would almost have taken second place. T

he Warriors nevertheless seem to find themselves at a crossroads in their history, having only participated in the postseason through a Play-In Tournament from which they were quickly eliminated.

A sad end to the season for a franchise whose summer promises to be eventful.

In addition to results that invite change, the various soap operas in which Golden State stars have found themselves in recent months make their future in the Bay uncertain.

Draymond Green’s repeated bloodshed could, for example, encourage his leaders to part ways with him. Just like the poor form and discomfort displayed by Klay Thompson, future free agent.

Klay Thompson closer than ever to leaving the Warriors?

On AC throughout the season, Thompson overall left Dubs fans with a bad image of himself.

Despite this, his profile would remain attractive in the league with a view to free agency, during which he risks looking for one last lucrative contract.

In this context, the Magic had been announced as a possible courtier , which Shams Charania has just confirmed on FanDuel TV :

Shams Charania: The Magic can free up more than $60 million in salary this offseason. (…) A name to watch in this matter is that of Klay Thompson.

I’m told there is mutual interest between him and the Magic. Thompson, like other veterans across the league, views the Magic as a team that can really improve by adding a veteran point guard or guard like him.

This team can really move up the ladder with Paolo Banchero and Franz Wagner in its ranks. (…) In my opinion, we just need to add a little scoring and shooting to this team for it to reach a whole new level.

In an Eastern conference where it has commanded respect this season, the Florida franchise does not seem so far from being able to join the fight for the first seed next year.

In any case, this is the impression that many experienced members of the league would share, starting with Killa Klay.

It remains to be seen whether the leaders of Orlando, who would be interested in his services according to Shams, will send him an offer that matches his salary expectations. In this case, the divorce between the Splash Bro and Golden State could not seem more plausible.

After a clear rise in power in recent months, the Magic could seek to extend this dynamic by attracting a big name this summer. And according to Shams Charania, Klay Thompson would not remain indifferent to the prospect of playing in Orlando.
