The NBA playoffs continue, another game day is coming, for the current situation of the second round of matchups, the Timberwolves and Nuggets matchup is completely unexpected, the defending champion Nuggets are currently 0:2 behind, Murray's performance in the last game is also hotly discussed, whether he will be punished by the league, also cause concern. In addition, there are a lot of other off-court news, including player retention, the team's potential trade reinforcement targets, etc., which are worth paying attention to, so let's take a look at them together. NBA: Titans will stay on the team, James will not participate, Murray will be punished, and the 76ers reinforcement target will be released.

Only one night: Murray's penalty is released, the Titans will stay on the team, James is not involved, and the 76ers reinforcement target is released

The first thing to look at is the situation on Murray's side, who threw a towel at the referee in the last game and then a hot pack into the stadium a few seconds later. There is talk about whether Murray will be punished by the league or even suspended. According to a previous report by reporter Stein, the league office is reviewing the Nuggets Murray threw things into the court from the bench. According to Shams, Murray will not be subject to an additional suspension, but will be fined. Finally, the league officially announced the result of the punishment for Murray. The NBA officially announced that Murray was fined $100,000 for throwing debris at the referee many times, and the good news is that he does not have to be suspended, which is undoubtedly good news for the Nuggets who are currently behind by a large score, and I still hope that Murray can adjust his mentality and state as soon as possible to help the team catch up with the backward situation.

For the Lakers, they also face a lot of choices in the offseason, Ham has been resigned, and the head coach is still a headache for them, after all, there is no too suitable coach on the market at this stage. The famous Windhors program talked about the possibility that the Lakers might hire Redick as the new head coach and talked a lot, including James, who said that James's principle is not to participate in the coach hiring, generally speaking, before hiring a head coach, James will keep a distance from the candidate, James will not recommend him to the team because he is friends with Redick. With the length of time James has been in the league and a long list of teammates, his friendships tend to start quickly and end quickly. One thing to say, the selection of the current head coach of the Lakers is indeed a big problem.

On the other side, one player has decided to stay with the Lakers, and according to a report from reporter Micheal Scotto, sources have revealed that Lakers forward Christian Wood has exercised a $3 million player option for the 2024-25 season. Last offseason, Wood signed a two-year contract with the Lakers with a minimum salary with a player option for the second season. In the 2023-24 season, Wood played in 50 games with the Lakers, averaging 6.9 points and 5.1 rebounds in 17.4 minutes per game. It's good news for the Lakers, after all, Wood can still make up for the team's interior to a certain extent.

The 76ers, another team that was eliminated, also kept coming out of the news. It is well known that the 76ers are interested in signing George, and the 76ers will free up huge salary space in the offseason, with only Embiid on a guaranteed contract. Multiple 76ers competitors believe that if the 76ers can't use their $50 million salary to get their top target George, then they could very well seek a trade for Butler, who has been in talks since the Heat went out and will be fighting for a contract extension this offseason. Butler has a $48.8 million salary contract next season and a $52.4 million player option for the '25-26 season.

Who do you think the 76ers can play this offseason? It is worth mentioning that Martin Jr. admitted in an interview that he does not want to stay with the 76ers next season, and he will become a complete free agent, which is also the first player of the 76ers to show that he does not want to stay with the team. And what kind of contract do you think Maxi can get?
