Beijing time on April 1, 2022, the NBA has seen a lot of news overnight, the core players of the Pacers Brogdon, Miles Turner, Stephenson and other players have a new direction in the future, Davis is about to return, the jazz team's two tough players will also come back, the league salary cap will be improved, 5 people are inducted into the Hall of Fame and so on!
Stephenson wants to renew his contract with the team and wants to retire from the team
Stephenson, who returned to the Indiana Pacers this season, has had a good season, and he currently plays 35 games for the Pacers, averaging 9.5 points, 2.9 rebounds and 3.7 assists per game, which is one of the team's biggest gains this season!
According to Hoophype's michael Scotto, sources revealed that Stephenson wants to renew his contract with the Pacers at the end of the season and wants to spend the rest of his career with the Pacers!
From the current point of view, Stephenson, as a veteran, can actually play a certain role in the team's reconstruction process, and as a famous member of the Pacers, he also has a certain voice in the locker room, and we have reason to believe that he can stay on the team for a long time!
Ginobili and five others were inducted into the 2022 Naismith Hall of Fame
On April 1, 2022, Beijing time, according to Shams, sources revealed that Spurs star Ginobili will be inducted into the 2022 Naismith Basketball Hall of Fame after the first round of voting. In addition to Ginobili, WNBA legends Sven Cash, Tim Hardaway, NCAA legend Bob Hudkins and former Nuggets coach George Carr have also been inducted into the Hall of Fame!
Of these five, the fans are naturally most concerned about Ginobili, as a meritorious player of the Spurs, he has won the championship four times, twice been selected as an All-Star, twice selected for the Best Team, won the Best Sixth Man in 2008, and also led Argentina to defeat the Dream Six team in 2004 to win the Olympic Championship!
It can be said that the selection of the Demon Knife is really expected, and as one of the best international players in the NBA, he deserves a Hall of Fame seat!
Davis will make a comeback in a game against the Pelicans
According to Shams, sources revealed that if there is no accident, Lakers interior Davis will plan to make a comeback against the Pelicans on Saturday.
The last few games are too important for the Lakers, so they took the risk of getting Davis back, and in this game James and Davis may appear, this key qualifying battle, the Lakers must win!
Davis has only played 37 games for the Lakers this season, averaging 23.1 points, 9.7 rebounds, 2.9 assists, 1.2 steals and 2.3 blocks per game, which is still very good for the team's influence, and I hope that his return can help the Lakers re-enter the play-off game!
Miles Turner is still worth a protected first-round pick
According to Hoophype's Michael Scotto, Pacers center Turner, who was put on the shelves at the trade deadline, still has a market in the offseason and deserves a protected first-round pick in the offseason!
Previously, the Pacers' asking price was two first-round picks or one first-round pick + one young player. But with his injury, his trade value does drop a bit, but as one of the league's best interior players, there will still be a lot of teams that want to get him, the Hornets, Raptors, Lone Rangers, Hawks and other teams will launch a pursuit of Turner in the offseason!
Brogdon may have been traded by the Pacers
According to Michael Scotto, the Pacers are open to trading Brogdon in the offseason.
The backcourt will undoubtedly be the team's absolute core leader this season, averaging 19.1 points, 5.1 rebounds and 5.9 assists per game, and is also a very good guard in the league. If the Pacers choose to trade him, then there should be a lot of teams that want to get him, after all, he still has 3 years and 67.6 million US dollars in contract, don't consider the renewal issue, plug and play, should be a good choice!
Jazz players Bojan and House will both make a comeback
In the Jazz's game against the Lakers, the core of the team, Bojan, will come back! According to Jazz reporter Eric Walden, the team's forwards Bojan Bogdanovic (left calf strain) and Danuel House (left knee bone bruise) can play this game.
This is still very important for the Jazz, the team needs Bojan to stand up and help the team out of the predicament, they have suffered 5 consecutive losses, fell to the sixth place in the West, or need to find their form in time!
Both the union salary cap and the luxury tax threshold will be raised
According to Shams, sources have informed teams that the salary cap for the 22-23 season is expected to be $122 million, and the luxury tax threshold is expected to be $149 million!
The league salary cap this season is $112.414 million, and the luxury tax threshold is $136.606 million. In contrast, there is still a significant improvement next season!
