On May 14, Beijing time, what were the important developments in the past night of the NBA? Wembanyama is interested in teaming up with Trae Young, Ingram's departure from the Pelicans is inevitable, the Lakers have also made some new developments in the selection of coaches, and Bronny's physical test data is out, and it is not expected to be missed. Nick Young wants to wait for Russell to have a boxing match with him when he retires, and the Pistons finalize the nominee for president of basketball operations.

Wemban is interested in joining forces with Trae Young

Wembanyama has started training twice a day and has been training for a few weeks now, fully immersed in the off-season. According to ESPN Athletic Tim Macmahon, Wembanyama is interested in the idea of teaming up with Trae Young.

"I've spoken to people who know Wembanyama and they've said he's at least interested in the idea, and of course being interested is not the same thing as making a deal, and I don't know if Popovich is interested in the idea." Another player, Weinhorst, believes Trae Young is not the type of player Popovich likes to use.

The theory of the Spurs trading Young is that he can help the Spurs greatly improve their offense, and Wemban is a special enough defensive player that he can help reduce Young's negative factors on the defensive end. The Spurs own two lottery picks this season and control the Hawks' first-round pick for the next three years. It also puts them in a special position to trade Trae Young.

Michael Scotto reported that despite some media hype about the Spurs trading Trae Young, the Hawks and Spurs did not have substantive talks about it before the trade deadline, according to league sources. However, with the lotto draw over, league sources are skeptical that this will change in the future.

Michael Scotto of The Athletic reported that rival executives generally believed that the Hawks would tear up the backcourt duo in the offseason and send away Trae Young or Dejounte Murray, and it now appears that Young is the more likely person to leave. In addition, the Eagles may use the top pick to draft Sarr, and Capela is also likely to leave.

This season, Wembanyama is averaging 21.4 points, 10.6 rebounds and 3.6 blocks per game, while Trae Young is averaging 25.7 points, 2.8 rebounds and 10.8 assists per game.

Ingram is definitely leaving the Pelicans

According to Stein of the Athletic, league sources revealed that Ingram's departure from the Pelicans was inevitable and inevitable. "Ingram's departure is increasingly seen as inevitable, not just a possibility, with a number of Eastern Conference teams (76ers, Cavaliers, Hawks and Magic) being mentioned as potential trade seekers for Ingram, league sources said."

In addition, a Western executive mentioned that the Warriors are also a potential home for Yingge.

"For the guy [the Warriors] are looking for, Ingram is what they're looking for in the market because he's a player who can score, but it's a little bit of a problem, maybe it's going to be less than it should be, but you know, you keep him healthy, you use him carefully, he can get you through. He was still young (26 years old) and that was definitely what they wanted. He played 30 minutes against the Wizards and scored 40 points. When he's in the right form, he's a devastating scorer. ”

Ingram played in the 64th regular season this season, averaging 20.8 points, 5.1 rebounds and 5.7 assists per game. In the first round of the playoffs, the Pelicans were swept by the Thunder, and Ingram averaged 14.3 points, 4.5 rebounds and 3.3 assists per game, and was not in good shape, shooting 34.5% from the field and 25% from three-point range.

New progress in the selection of the Lakers' coach

ESPN reported that the Lakers are expected to begin contacting head coach candidates in the coming days, with the early focus falling on their less familiar current assistant coach and former head coach, according to sources.

Pelinka has been gathering information on a number of head coach candidates, including ESPN analyst Redick, and the word "grinder" keeps popping up in Pelinka's conversations with team officials across the league in his descriptions of important characteristics of Lakers head coaches.

The initial interview roster is expected to include assistant coaches such as the Heat's Chris Quinn and the Pelicans' James Borrego. The selection will be done in phases, starting with the first round, followed by a period of talking with coaches with whom the Lakers have more of a history of collaboration, and then narrowing down the roster to the final round of candidates. Compared with the Suns' lightning confirmation of coach Budenholzer, the Lakers' work of selecting a coach seems to be extraordinarily long.

Three teams are interested in signing Bridges

The Hornets, Pistons and Jazz are expected to be interested in signing forward Myles Bridges (full free agent) in the free agent market, according to league sources.

In the 2023-24 regular season, Myles Bridges played in 69 games for the Hornets, averaging 21.0 points, 7.3 rebounds and 3.3 assists in 37.4 minutes per game. Bridges was suspended for the first 10 games of the season due to domestic violence, but he quickly got back into shape, scoring at least 30 points in six games this season, including 45 points, eight rebounds and seven assists against the Raptors.

In addition, there are some other developments in the alliance -

Bronny is not expected to be selected, and his physical data is out, and his height has shrunk significantly, at 1.87m, while the NCAA's original height list for him is 1.93m. His arm span is 2.01 meters, his weight is 95 kilograms, his jump height is 3.07 meters, his hand length is 21.6 centimeters, and his hand width is 24.1 centimeters. The Athletic's Winhorst reported that while everyone expects father and son to be on the same stage, other teams don't get James by selecting Bronny. James still prefers to stay with the Lakers, and the Lakers will still try to get father and son on the same team. Shams said James expects to play two more seasons and retire.

The Bulls want to improve their competitiveness next season with the goal of renewing DeRozan's contract, which was previously reported by the Bulls to offer DeRozan a two-year, $80 million contract.

The Pistons will decide on a new president of basketball operations in the coming weeks, with four potential targets: Timberwolves chief director Connery, Pelicans general manager Trajan Langdon, Mavericks advisor Dennis Lindsey and Bulls general manager Mark Eversley.

Former NBA player Nick Young said he would have a boxing match with Russell when he retired. "I'm going to fight this for free (laughs), you're going to give me time to get back in shape, I need to be in shape." Russell and Nick Young played for the Lakers at the same time, and during a locker room exchange, they talked about Nick Young's stealing outside, and Russell recorded the video, which was later leaked online. At that time, Nick Young was already engaged to his celebrity girlfriend Azalea, and his girlfriend quickly dissolved her engagement to Nick Young.

Mitchell misses out G4 against the Celtics due to injury, and James is expected to watch the game live.

Multiple teams are keeping an eye on Brogdon, who could trade the Trail Blazers for a first-round pick.

The Wizards are looking to get another first-round pick with the No. 26 pick in hand.
