On June 29, Beijing time, according to a report by Woj, the Magic has refused to exercise the $11 million team option for 36-year-old forward Ingles next season. Naturally, the Magic's move is to free up space and salary space to join Klay in the race, and according to previous reports, they are willing to offer at least two years and $50 million to bring in Klay.

The Magic returned to the playoffs this year, but they battled in the first round to a tiebreaker and lost 4-3 to the Cavaliers. The youth team Magic are eager to improve their strength, and they are targeting Klay, the core of the Warriors' 4 championships, but teams such as the Mavericks are also contenders for Klay, especially the Mavericks have become the biggest favorites at the moment.

The Magic have now opted to reject the 36-year-old's $11 million franchise option for next season, but the two sides are expected to continue the conversation in the free agent market next week, when Ingles will be in his 11th season.

The Magic understandably don't want to keep Ingles, given the $11 million team option left with one year, but he played in 68 regular-season games for the Magic last season, averaging just 4.4 points, 2.1 rebounds and 3 assists per game while shooting 43.5 percent from three-point range.

According to salary expert Bobby Marks, the Magic will have more than $44 million in salary space after dropping Ingles. If the Magic continue to refuse to exercise Big Wagner's team option, the amount of salary space they have could exceed $50 million.

The Magic prefer to bring in the 34-year-old Klay, and they are willing to offer at least two years to a $50 million contract. At present, the conflict between Klay and the Warriors has reached an irreparable situation, so the Magic have also joined the competition for Klay, and the Mavericks will be their main competitor.
