1. Redick leads the new coach of the Lakers

Shams talked about the Lakers' coach selection on the show, saying: 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 Lakers' head coach frontrunner right now.

Asked if James was pushing JJ Redick to become the Lakers' head coach, Rich Paul said: "LeBron wasn't involved. This is accurate. I think it's hard for people not to want to hear about the story itself. There are a lot of false narratives. There are a lot of narratives that make them feel like we're driven, but I've gotten to the point where I don't pay attention to that anymore. There are people who know me, and if I have something to say, I will say it directly. ”

"But as for finding a coach, that's the Lakers' decision. I always advise LeBron, or anyone else, not to put yourself in a situation where your hands are too big and you may be hurt down the road ahead. Every team he's played for as the best player, you have some insight or the team might ask you what you think.

Lakers reporter Dan Woike reports that LeBron James and Anthony Davis will eventually need to endorse coach hires, according to a person familiar with the matter. It's a widely accepted practice in the NBA where star players are more of stakeholders than employees when looking for partners on the bench.

2. Bronny was favored by the Suns and other teams and refused to sign a two-way contract

Bronny wants a long NBA career and the Suns will try out Bronny James before the June draft, and 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 already received tryout offers from more than 10 teams, but is expected to visit only a handful of teams, including the Lakers and Suns.

The Lakers have the No. 17 pick in the first round and the No. 55 pick in the second round this year. In addition, according to the Suns reporter, the Suns are interested in Bronny may be to recruit James to join, and the Suns owner and general manager will try it.

Rich Paul said he had no interest in Bronny signing a two-way contract, and bluntly said: "The teams in the league know that, and I won't do that."

During the Chicago Union tryout, Bronny did not perform well in the first 5v5 matchup, with only 4 points, 4 rebounds and 3 turnovers on 2-of-8 shooting and 0-of-4 three-pointers; Game 2 bounced back, scoring a team-high 13 points on 4-of-10 shooting and 2-of-5 three-pointers, with James and Pelinka both sitting on the spot.

3. The Cavaliers plan to renew Mitchell's contract for 4 years and 208 million

The Cavaliers plan to meet with Mitchell shortly after this year's Finals to offer a four-year, $208 million contract extension with a maximum salary cap, according to Brian Windhorst of The Athletic.

Evan Sidery said the Cavaliers believe that firing coach Bickerstaff has increased the chances of signing Mitchell to a long-term contract, and that Mitchell's future with the Cavaliers is likely to be clear before the draft (June 27-28).

This year's finals will start on June 7, and if there is a tiebreaker, it will be played on June 24; Mitchell currently has two years left on his contract, $34.9 million for the 2024-25 season, and a $37.1 million player option for the 2025-26 season. It is reported that starting July 7, Mitchell is eligible to sign a four-year, $208 million early contract extension with the Cavaliers, and the player option for the 2025-26 season will be replaced by a starting salary of $46.5 million. And if he waits until 2025 to renew his contract with the Cavaliers, then Mitchell can get an additional $61 million, at which time he can renew his five-year, $269 million contract, and if he joins another team, Mitchell can sign up to four years and $200.1 million contract.

Mitchell played in 55 games this season, averaging 26.6 points, 5.1 rebounds, 6.1 assists and 1.8 steals per game, and averaged 29.6 points, 5.4 rebounds, 4.7 assists and 1.3 steals in 10 games in the playoffs this year.

4. The Clippers are still reluctant to give George a maximum salary contract

NBC Sports reporter Kurt Helin reports on George's contract extension prospects with the Clippers, and there are rumors that 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 four-year contract and have not offered him a maximum salary contract at this time.

George's 2024-25 annual salary is a player option worth $48.79 million. Salary expert Bobby Marks said George could sign up to a four-year, $221 million contract extension with the Clippers in the offseason, while other teams could offer George $9 million short of the Clippers. It is reported that many teams such as the 76ers and the Magic want to sign George.

5. Haliburton's hamstring injury is worrying

Shams of the Athletic spoke about Haliburton's hamstring injury, saying: Haliburton suffered a hamstring injury in January when he missed 10 games, and this time it was the same as that time. And they don't know how serious the situation is at the moment. He was treated at halftime and tried to get back into the game, playing in the third quarter, but apparently, the midfielder's treatment didn't work and Haliburton missed the rest of the game. 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.

Currently trailing 0-2 on aggregate to the Eastern Conference Finals, Haliburton (doubtful) is likely to be swept 4-0 by the Celtics if they miss the G3 or more games in the Eastern Conference Finals due to injury. In addition, Celtic officially updated the latest injury list of G3: Luke Cornet (sprained wrist) is likely to be unavailable, and Porzingis continues to be sidelined.

 6. Anunoby hits big contracts

Knicks reporter Fred Katz reports that Anunoby's new contract is expected to be between $35 million and $40 million per year; Evan Sidery said that it is not impossible for Anunoby to get a contract totaling more than $150 million this summer, and there are signs that the Knicks will renew Anunoby at all costs.

Anunoby's salary is $18.64 million this season, with a player option worth $19.93 million for the 2024-25 season; After being traded to the Knicks, Anunoby played in 23 regular season games (20-3) for New York, averaging 14.1 points, 4.4 rebounds, 1.5 assists, 1.7 steals and 1 block per game, and played in nine playoff games (6-3), averaging 15.1 points, 6 rebounds, 1.1 assists, 0.9 steals and 1 block per game.

7. Lonzo Ball announced his comeback next season

Asked if he would play in the opener of next season, Ball publicly said: "Definitely, I am very convinced of that. It's part of my plan, and there's no way back, so I'm expecting to play in the opener.

Ball also revealed: My injury started with a torn meniscus when I was with the Lakers, and then I tore it a few more times in the same position, which caused my meniscus to be gone, which is bone to bone rubbing against each other. So, the cartilage is gone, and the bones are a mess. So I had to get a new meniscus from a donor. I went through an allogeneic transplant and also included some new cartilage.

Ball, who had previously opted to exercise his $21.4 million player option for next season, has been sidelined for more than two years due to a knee injury, and his last appearance in the NBA was on January 14, 2022, after which he underwent three knee surgeries.

8. The Heat may part ways with Butler

According to Kurt Helin, 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; And Yahoo reporter Jake Fischer has also mentioned that reuniting Butler and Embiid is also a viable option. Fischer also mentioned that DeRozan will become a free agent this summer, but he is not an ideal option for the Heat.

9. The Lakers had a three-way trade to peddle Russell

According to bleachers reporter Eric Pincus, the Lakers, Nets and Hawks discussed a three-way deal earlier this season that went to send D'Angelo Russell back to the Nets and Dejounte Murray to the Lakers.

According to multiple sources, the Nets had been in talks with the Lakers about a Russell trade before getting Schroder (the Hawks sent Murray to the Lakers). Negotiations between the Lakers and Hawks failed, and the Nets still needed a starter-level guard, and they traded Schroder from the Raptors to the Raptors.

Other developments of the alliance -

Knicks reporter Fred Katz said the team is not trying to actively sell Randle, but they could also send him away for big-name signings.

This will continue to raise the salary cap thanks to the NBA's new media rights deal, with the maximum contract eventually reaching more than $100 million a year, with the 2032-33 season likely to be the first year that salaries exceed $100 million.

The NBA officially announced the fans' votes for the best dunk of the season, the best block of the season and the best photo of the season won by Edwards.

Arenas praised Doncic: Even now that Doncic is retiring, he is one of the first candidates for the Hall of Fame. He's already on a trajectory to move forward, and what he's doing is unrealistic for his age and at the basketball level. Whether he wins the championship or not, he has been pushing himself forward; With the stats he's playing now, he's going to be inducted into the first batch of Hall of Fame candidates right now after retiring, which is crazy. Persistence is one of them, and if we only talk about talent, Maddy is not a 75 superstar, but you can't name five small forwards who are better than him in terms of talent alone, but his stats make his status less high.

Givony said several teams have claimed that Shepard's stats — his incredible scoring efficiency, combined with excellent steals, blocks and passing stats — put him (Shepard) at No. 1 in their draft model, which must have caught the attention of team executives who tend to data analysis, like the Rockets with scout picks. With NBA teams putting more emphasis on outside shooting, it's hard to see Shepard dropping out of the top five picks in this year's draft.

The Spurs and Grizzlies showed keen interest in drafting Devin Carter in the top 10; Carter averaged 19.7 points, 8.7 rebounds, 3.6 assists and 1.8 steals per game for Providence before the draft, and his draft market soared.
