Head coach Finch announced the news in the pre-G2 training, and Huazi received the three trophies with a smile on his face.

The best dunk of the season was Edwards' death dunk Collins with a score of 2+1, and the best block of the season was Edwards' headbutt against the Pacers. The best photo of the season was the one from Edwards Bolts Collins.

Other fans' awards were Alexander for the Dress of the Season; Irving won the ball control award of the season and made a layup after a flashy single turn past Dillon; DeRozan had the best assist of the season and assisted on a three-pointer for Coby White in the air.

The Suns tried out Bronny in hopes of luring James in

The Suns will try out Bronny James ahead of the June draft, according to several sources. The Suns have the No. 22 pick in the first round this year, and Bronny is one of several players being considered for that pick. Bronny has received tryouts from more than 10 teams, but is expected to visit only a handful of teams, including the Lakers and Suns.

In the previous Chicago Union trial, Bronny did not perform well in the first 5v5 matchup, shooting 2-of-8, 0-of-4 three-pointers, 4 points, 4 rebounds and 3 turnovers, and successfully rebounded to score a team-high 13 points in the second game.

Agent Rich Paul confirms Bronny won't sign a two-way contract: "The teams in the league know that, and I'm not going to do that. ”

Bronny, 19 years old, barefoot and 1.87 meters tall, played at the University of Southern California and played in 25 games in his freshman season, averaging 19.3 minutes per game, contributing 4.8 points, 2.8 rebounds and 2.1 assists.

Suns reporter Doug Haller said: "Is it possible that the selection of Bronny will help the Suns attract James to the base salary? Probably not. But if you're Jones (general manager of the Suns) and owner Ishbia, it doesn't hurt to explore. ”

Redick has met with the Lakers and is currently the new frontrunner

Shams spoke on the show about the Lakers' selection of coaches. "I heard that the Lakers had a meeting with JJ Redick for a while last week, and he was the first person to have a face-to-face conversation with the Lakers, and I feel like he's the frontrunner for the Lakers head coach right now," he said. "It was previously reported that the Lakers were slow to draft a coach, as ESPN also didn't want to release people before the division finals and finals, and Redick needed to complete the broadcast work at hand.

In addition to Redick, Borrego, Cassel and others are also within the scope of the Lakers' scouting. Rich Paul said he had been advising James not to be involved in the manager draft, and multiple reports suggest that James was not involved.

The Clippers are reluctant to give George a four-year salary cap

According to journalist Kurt Helin, the 34-year-old wants to make the fourth year of his contract part of the negotiations, as it will be the last big contract of his career. According to sources, the Clippers have been reluctant to offer him a fourth-year contract and have not offered him a maximum salary contract at this time.

According to salary expert Marks, George could sign a four-year, $221 million early contract extension with the Clippers in the offseason, and other teams can offer George $9 million short of the Clippers. However, taking into account factors such as state taxes, the gap is even smaller.

It is worth mentioning that George will turn 38 in 4 years, which will trigger the 38-year-old clause in the collective bargaining agreement. George has one year left on his contract, with a $48.79 million player option for the 2024-25 season, and he could jump out of his contract and become a free agent this summer.

In the regular season, George averaged 22.6 points, 5.2 rebounds, 3.2 assists and 1.5 steals per game, and in the playoffs, George averaged 19.5 points, 6.8 rebounds, 4.8 assists and 1.2 steals per game.

The Knicks weren't aggressively peddling Randle

Knicks reporter Fred Katz said the team is not trying to actively peddle Randle. But they also understand that adding a star player this summer could mean they have to trade Randle.

Randle has two years left on his contract, a salary of $30.32 million for the 2024-25 season and a player option worth $32.41 million for the 2025-26 season. Marks said Randle is eligible to sign a four-year, $181.5 million contract with the Knicks beginning Aug. 4 (subject to rejecting the 2025-26 player option), and if he chooses to exercise the 2025-26 player option (next year), Randle is eligible for a three-year, $140.3 million early extension. 、

Randle has only played in 46 games this season due to injury, averaging 24 points, 9.2 rebounds and 5 assists per game. With a shoulder injury, Randle has been sidelined since January 30.

Butler's departure from the Heat could be higher than a contract extension

Kurt Helin reports that the Heat may choose to part ways with Butler. Although Riley said in an interview that Butler is still a 1A player, the Heat may choose to part ways with Butler instead of opting for a contract extension. Previously, journalist Jake Fischer mentioned that reuniting Butler and Embiid was a viable option.

Shams talked about on the show that Butler has always made it clear that he wants to stay with the Heat for a long time, and he also wants to sign a two-year, 113 million salary cap this summer, but the Heat did not respond positively.

The Cavaliers plan to re-sign Mitchell for 4 years and 208 million

According to a report from journalist Vinhorst, the Cavaliers plan to meet with Donovan Mitchell after the Finals this season and make him a four-year, $208 million contract extension. The Cavaliers believe the firing of Bickerstaff increases their chances of signing Mitchell to a long-term contract. Mitchell's future with the Cavaliers is likely to have a definitive answer before the draft.

Mitchell is averaging 29.6 points, 5.4 rebounds and 4.7 assists per game in this year's playoffs. He has a player option next summer. If Mitchell can't be re-signed early this year, the Cavaliers are expected to seek to trade him. The Lakers, Heat, Nets, Rockets, Grizzlies and many other teams are all potential next home for him.

Haliburton G3 is doubtful

Shams spoke about Haliburton's hamstring injury. Haliburton suffered a hamstring injury in January when he missed 10 games and it was the same this time. And they don't know how serious the situation is at the moment...... They're going to check and see how bad it really is, but obviously, the injury is going to be a bit serious this time. ”

The Pacers have officially updated their injury report, and Haliburton's G3 status is currently doubtful (50% probable).

Other developments of the alliance -

The Lakers, Nets and Hawks discussed a three-way deal ahead of this season's trade deadline. The specifics of the deal were to send D'Angelo Russell back to the Nets and Dejounte Murray to the Lakers, but ultimately failed to reach a deal.

Knicks reporter Fred Katz reports that Anunoby's new contract is expected to be in the range of $35 million to $40 million per year. Reporter Sidery said it's not out of the question that Anunoby will be awarded a contract totaling more than $150 million this summer.

Arenas believes that even if Doncic retires now, he will be the first inductee for the Hall of Fame.

After more than two years of absence, Lonzo Ball has announced his return next season to play in the team's regular season opener.

The referee of G2 in the Western Conference is No. 15 referee Zach Zaba, and the other two referees are No. 58 referee Teven and No. 27 referee Erwin.
