On May 24, Beijing time, the NBA overnight dynamic summary, the Cavaliers officially announced the dismissal of the coach, the Lakers will compete with the Spurs for Paul, and the 76ers intend to sign Klay with a 1+1 contract, as well as George, LaVine, Anunoby and others.......

The Knights announced the dismissal of Bickerstaff

The Cavaliers officially fired head coach Bickerstaff, and Warriors assistant coach Atkinson and Pelicans assistant coach Borrego are expected to be candidates for the new coach of the Cavaliers, with Vogel and Terry Stotts also among the candidates, according to Shams.

Cavaliers General Manager Kobe Altman Releases Statement: Bickerstaff is a well-respected NBA coach and an incredible person. Over the past four seasons, he's helped the Cavaliers build a team culture that pushes players to be the best version of themselves. It's never easy to make a decision like this, especially when you look back at rebuilding the team under his leadership.

Bickerstaff has two years remaining on his contract with the Cavaliers, totaling about $10 million, and has coached the Cavaliers for four-and-a-half seasons, leading the team to the playoffs three times, winning 170 regular-season games and leading the team to the first James-free series victory since 1993.

While the Cavaliers have improved under Bickerstaff, his team has struggled after the All-Star break for the past three seasons, according to a follow-up report from Shams of The Athletic. In addition, Mitchell and the rest of the players don't have a lot of confidence in Bickerstaff as a future coach; Due to a poor start to the season, Bixstak was nearly fired around Thanksgiving.

The Lakers will compete with the Spurs for Paul

Marc Stein wrote an article on Paul's future, saying: If Warriors player Paul becomes a free agent in the offseason, both the Spurs and the Lakers could pursue him. Paul's long-standing friendship with LeBron James, as well as his well-known desire to be as close as possible to his family in Los Angeles, certainly adds credibility to the Lakers' idea of signing him.

Previously, Eric Pincus reported that Paul is likely to be traded or cut by the Warriors, and it is indeed possible to join the Lakers; This season, Paul is averaging 9.2 points, 6.8 assists and 3.9 rebounds per game, and his $30 million contract for next season is not guaranteed.

The 76ers have a crazy recruitment plan this summer

According to Jake Fischer of The Athletic, the Philadelphia 76ers may consider offering Klay Thompson a 1+1 contract similar to Bruce Brown; According to sources, the 76ers took note of the Pacers' big two-year contract for Bruce Brown, which later became their highest salary when they traded for Siakam with the Raptors. Veteran wing players like Klay Thompson and Pope will be targeted by the 76ers to offer similar 1+1 contracts.

As we all know, the 76ers have been interested in bringing in George, but the 76ers have other targets besides George; Jake Fischer reports that both Kuzma and Zach LaVine could be backup plans for the 76ers; Sources say the 76ers may consider acquiring a player like Zach LaVine if they fail to sign a big-name wing — if the Bulls or other teams are willing to carry draft picks to free up salary space.

Fischer said that several teams believe that Anunoby may not necessarily renew his contract with the Knicks, and he will consider other offers, with Anunoby's new contract expected to reach $35 million to $40 million a year; According to Knicks reporter Ian Begley, the 76ers are eyeing Anunoby as an offseason target. Paul George is also a target for Philadelphia. But if the 76ers can't get George, I can expect them to make a high price to Anunoby — which would also force the Knicks to match the contract.

Kevin O'Connor previously reported that the 76ers believe they have a "real chance" to sign Paul George in the offseason, and the reporter said: The 76ers think they have a good chance of signing Paul George eventually. As I understand it, after talking to people from various teams around the league, they think there's a good chance that George will eventually leave (the Clippers). While not guaranteed, it is possible.

Experts recommend that the Lakers send away Reaves and Hachimura to pursue Garland

According to NBA reporter Kelly Iko, the Rockets have been watching Donovan Mitchell's situation for months in preparation for a potential trade, and with the Rockets' young core players and draft capital, they could theoretically make one of the best offers available.

If Mitchell refuses to renew his contract, the 76ers, Lakers and other teams are also interested in him; However, Shams reported that the Cavaliers are optimistic about signing Mitchell to a four-year, $208 million contract extension.

If Mitchell renews his contract, Garland could be traded, NBA reporter Bobby Marks said: If the Cavaliers are indeed willing to trade Garland, then a reasonable trade would be to trade Austin Reaves and Hachimura of the Los Angeles Lakers at the core.

The NBA has concluded its investigation into Giddey

According to Woj, the NBA has concluded its investigation into allegations that Keady had an improper relationship with a minor; Four months ago, police concluded that Keady was "unable to prove any criminal activity" on charges of improper relationships with minors, and the NBA came to a similar conclusion to conclude its investigation into the matter, sources said.

In this year's playoffs, Giddey averaged 18 minutes per game, only 8.7 points, 3.6 rebounds and 2.1 assists, and in the series with the Mavericks, Giddey's performance was even worse.
