Leonard's contract extension with a maximum salary! The Clippers have a follow-up, Ham is in good news, and the Lakers referee reported 1 missed a judgment
On January 11, Beijing time, with the deepening of the NBA new season schedule, many teams have now found their own problems, and they are also eager to change the current situation of the team, so there have been a lot of trade rumors in the American media recently, and there are still a lot of noteworthy news in the league from this early morning to now, let's take a look.
Leonard's contract extension, the Clippers and the follow-up
According to Shams of The Register, the Clippers and Leonard have reached an early contract extension for three years worth $152.4 million, which is a tapering contract. In addition, this new contract does not include a player option, although it is a salary extension, but it is not a super cap salary, and his contract is about $8.5 million less than the super cap salary. In addition, according to American media, the Clippers are also discussing a contract extension with George, and they want to keep the double star.
George's contract extension is not expected to be too much of a problem, after all, the Clippers are playing a good momentum now, the Clippers have the best record in the league since December, and they have played the strength of a championship team, which is believed to be the reason why the Clippers are willing to renew the contract of the double star. In the offseason, the team was dissatisfied with the team's frequent injury absences for a long time, so Ballmer and management chose to fight against the water, and they acquired Harden through a trade to form the Big Four.
Leonard has ushered in a relatively healthy season this season, he has played in 32 games so far in the new season, averaging 23.8 points, 6.1 rebounds, 3.4 assists, 1.8 steals and 0.8 blocks per game. George has averaged 23.2 points, 5.6 rebounds, 3.7 assists and 1.6 steals per game so far this season, and has played in 34 games so far this season.
The Lakers plan to be patient with Ham
According to NBA reporter Sam, two Lakers executives revealed that the team plans to be patient with head coach Ham and let him continue to grow in the coaching position, saying: "Although the Lakers lost nine of their last 11 games before the game against the Clippers, they went on to win back-to-back games against the Clippers and Raptors, which undoubtedly regained confidence for the Lakers team, which was on the verge of collapse." ”
Although Ham has been questioned since joining the Lakers, the Lakers' record in the past two years is not bad, and the reason why the Lakers' record is not ideal before is that I think the main reason is that it took too much physical energy to win the championship in the midseason, plus there are too many injuries to the players, so the team rotation has not been stable enough, which also made Ham lose confidence, causing the team to change the starting lineup frequently, and now the Lakers are starting to get back on track.
The Lakers Raptors referee report is out
Yesterday's game between the Raptors and the Lakers caused a lot of doubts, and after the game, the Raptors directly scolded the referee for the lack of free throws, and in the last quarter of the Raptors made free throws 2-23 Lakers, after the game, the Raptors coach also said: "I respect their stars, but Barnes only got 2 free throws every time, if you have to let the Lakers win, then tell us, we just don't play." ”
I can see the anger of the Raptors coach, the final score between the two sides is 132-131, because the game is fierce enough, today the NBA official also issued a referee report, the referee report shows that there is only 1 missed judgment in this game, which is not good for the Lakers: with 1 minute and 33 seconds left in the game, Barnes did not occupy the blocking position, entered Reaves' travel path, affecting Reaves' defense, but did not blow the penalty, this is a missed judgment, should blow Barnes foul.
The NBA rookie list is out
Today, the NBA officially updated the latest rookie list, Wembanyama returned to the first, Holmgren fell to second, Harkes is still in the third position, Brandon Miller is still in the fourth position, Podjem rose from the previous sixth to fifth, Lively fell to sixth, seventh to ninth and remained unchanged last week, respectively, Kiyant George, Henderson, Orsa Thompson, and tenth is Jordan Hawkins.
The king had come close to getting Sika
According to NBA reporter Mitchell Scott, the Kings have been active in the trade market, and they have recently been linked with Siakam, who at one point seemed to have acquired the forward, but in the end they had a reversed trade when the Kings sent offers for Barnes, Huerter, Mitchell and a first-round pick. The reason the king withdrew the offer was because Sika did not want to stay with the king.
According to Sam of The Athletic, Siakam doesn't think the Kings are a good long-term destination, so he doesn't want to be here, and Sika doesn't care if he ends up staying with the Raptors or another team, he just wants a long-term, full-max contract extension. Because Sika will be a free agent in the offseason and he has no intention of staying, the Kings have given up on acquiring him. Speaking of which, what do you want to say about today's hot news?
