As reported by Sean Deveney an Eastern Conference executive shared that the San Antonio Spurs and Orlando Magic are interested in Immanuel Quickley.
According to the reports, both teams are interested in signing this summer in case his contract doesn’t extend with the New York Knicks.
The unnamed the executive told Deveney
“The trend is to play hardball with restricted free agency, but it could be a mistake, the Knicks playing hardball with him. Two reasons for that, really, The Spurs and the Magic. They need a young point guard. And they’re both in a good spot to swipe him.”
It was back in September, near the deadline for first-round picks, the 2020 NBA draft class was to sign extensions with their teams.
An NBA executive predicted that New York Knicks guard Immanuel Quickley would be seeking a deal worth $100 million over four years.
Following, no contract agreement was reached, though, setting up Quickley for restricted free agency, and setting up a prime season for Knicks rumors.
This week, SNY’s Ian Begley said,
“One offer made to Quickley was not fully guaranteed, giving the Knicks a team option in the contract. There were no incentives included in the talks, per SNY sources.”
As Quickley is on track to hit restricted free agency this offseason. The explosive guard is averaging 15 points, 3 rebounds and 2.9 assists in 20 games off the bench to begin the season.
Magic or Spurs if willing to overpay and can guarantee a spot in the starting lineup, Quickley will likely be in the team. But report by SNY’s Ian Begley, the explosive guard is looking for a deal in the region of $100 million over four years.
