Reed was named Sixth Man of the Year
The NBA officially announced today that Minnesota Timberwolves player Naz Reid has been selected as the Sixth Man of the Year for the 2023-24 season. At this point, the first player in the history of the Timberwolves to win the Sixth Man of the Year award was officially born! And with Reed's election, it was also announced that Portis and Monk were defeated! It is worth mentioning that Reed narrowly defeated Monk by only 2 votes in the voting process, winning a good risk!
It is worth mentioning that Reed is the third player in NBA history to win the Sixth Man of the Year award without a draft, the first two being John Starks ('96-97) and Darrell Armstrong ('98-'99). Reed is averaging 13.5 points, 5.2 rebounds and 1.3 assists per game this season, scoring and rebounding career highs, and making 169 more three-pointers than the previous two seasons combined (132). He helped the Timberwolves to a 56-26 record that was the second-best in franchise history. And the reason why he was able to narrowly defeat Monk and be elected is probably to a large extent related to the Timberwolves' superior record! Due to Monk's sudden injury and suspension in the closing stage, the King's strength was seriously damaged, and he was finally eliminated by the Pelicans in the play-offs! Congratulations to Reed for being selected as the best sixth man!
George is expected to renew his contract
This summer, Paul George has a player option of 48.79 million for next season. Obviously, he will not give up the opportunity to get the last big contract of his career! Jumping out of the contract to become a free agent and then pursuing an ideal big contract will be what he is willing to do! So, will George eventually renew his contract with the Clippers or switch to his team? According to previous reports, once George becomes a free agent, the 76ers will pursue him wildly. But now it seems that the 76ers are going to be disappointed, because George decided to keep the Clippers and continue to partner with the small card to win the championship.
According to well-known journalist Eric Pincus, multiple sources said Paul George is expected to re-sign a contract with the Los Angeles Clippers. George is currently available to the Clippers to sign up to a four-year, $233 million contract extension. So, whether he will take a salary cut to renew the contract or sign a contract similar to a small card, let's wait and see!
Wiggins' three-way trading plan was released
With the Warriors eliminated from the playoffs and missing out on the playoffs, a major overhaul of their team is imminent! If the Warriors don't make changes, they probably won't be able to make the playoffs next season. At present, the Warriors, who are seriously aging, are indeed time for a major change, which can be said to be unbreakable! In this way, trading Wiggins has naturally become a top priority. Kuminga's rapid growth coupled with Wiggins' serious decline in form has also made Brother Zui lose his place in the Warriors.
Recently, well-known reporter Eric Pincus posted his trade plan for Wiggins, and he suggested that the Warriors complete a three-way trade with the 76ers and the Trail Blazers. The specific plan content is: 76ers get Wiggins, 1.1 million cash, Warriors get Brogdon + Robert Williams, Trail Blazers get Kevon Looney + No. 16 pick (from Philadelphia 76ers) + 22.5 million trade exceptions (Wiggins) + 4.4 million (trade exceptions).
To be honest, this three-way deal is not bad for the Warriors! Sending away Wiggins and Looney to get Brogdon, who has good court control ability, and Lowe, who is super strong inside, will improve the Warriors' combat effectiveness! Of course, the injuries of these two are also a factor that has to be considered. In short, it's a foregone conclusion that the Warriors will trade Wiggins this summer.
