The Magic are interested in bringing in Russell

The Orlando Magic are interested in pursuing D'Angelo Russell, Kelly Iko reports; Russell currently has a $18.7 million player option, and this season he shot a career-high 41.5 percent from three-point range for the Lakers; In Orlando, Russell teamed up with Banchero and Wagner Jr., and he was well adapted to the Magic's perimeter-oriented offense.

According to previous reports, the Lakers wanted to reach a three-way deal with the Nets and the Hawks to send Russell away, but the trade negotiations failed; This season, Russell played in 76 regular season games for the Lakers, averaging 18 points, 3.1 rebounds and 6.3 assists per game.

Pope rushed to a 20 million annual salary contract 

Evan Sidery of The Athletic talked about the future of Nuggets wing Pope, saying that Pope could be awarded an average salary of almost $20 million as an unrestricted free agent (without exercising the player option). His championship (2 championships) experience will be sought after not only by championship contenders, but also by teams looking to take a step closer to the playoffs.

Keep an eye out for the 76ers, Spurs and Magic, who are potential suitors for Pope. The Nuggets want to sign Pope to a contract extension, but the team's expectation of triggering the second line could cause them to give up.

Pope has a salary of $14.7 million this season and a player option worth $15.44 million for the 2024-25 season.

In the regular season, Pope played in 76 games for the Nuggets, averaging 10.1 points, 2.4 rebounds, 2.4 assists and 1.3 steals per game, and in 12 playoff games, he averaged 8.1 points, 2.9 rebounds, 2.6 assists and 1.4 steals per game.

Multiple teams will compete for Oubre

76ers player Oubre will be one of the most underrated unrestricted free agents this offseason; Oubre has been playing well above his value this season with a base salary, and Philadelphia is interested in renewing Oubre's contract, but there will be countless rivals in the league trying to get him.

Oubre has averaged 15.4 points, five rebounds and 1.8 steals/blocks per game in 68 regular-season games for the 76ers this season.

The NBA will produce players with an annual salary of more than 100 million in the future

With the NBA finalizing new broadcast contracts with ESPN, NBC, and Amazon for more than $7 billion a year, the league will produce players with an annual salary of more than $100 million in the future.

According to U.S. journalist Mike Vorkunov, while there are no guarantees, league team executives expect a 10% increase in the salary cap in the first season of the new media broadcast landscape starting in the 2025-26 season.

The arrival of a new broadcast contract could bring about a feat that was once thought impossible – a salary of $100 million a year.

NBA players are already amassing wealth like never before. Before any endorsements or sponsorship income is counted, players in the Class of 2022 have the opportunity to earn more than $1 billion in NBA contracts. If the salary cap continues to rise as expected, a player could get that much money ($1 billion) by signing two contracts in his prime. Jaylen Brown's league-record-setting five-year, $304 million contract last year may seem insignificant by comparison.

By the 2032-33 season, the NBA could have its first season with players earning more than $100 million a year. That's assuming the salary cap is $141 million next season, as the league currently projectes, and then adding another 10% to the salary cap (each season).

According to this projection, the salary cap (for the 2032-33 season) will exceed $302 million, which would see many players cross the $100 million annual salary threshold. For example, a player's super-cap salary in his first year, which accounts for 35% of the salary cap, will be $105.79 million in the 2032-33 season — more than double the league's highest-paid player this season ($51.92 million).

Based on these estimates, the five-year supercap contract is worth $507 million starting in 2030-31, $557.78 million starting in 2031-32 and $613.56 million starting in 2032-33.

Haliburton missed the Eastern Conference finals G3 due to injury

Haliburton will miss Game 3 of the Eastern Conference Finals against the Celtics due to another injury to his left hamstring, Shams reported. ESPN's woj added that Haliburton's availability for Game 4 of the East Final is still in doubt.

Sources told ESPN that Haliburton will be re-evaluated ahead of Game 4, but his availability for the game remains a big question. The Pacers will be cautious with their star of the house.

Haliburton has played in 15 playoff games so far this season, averaging 34.8 minutes per game, scoring 18.7 points, 4.8 rebounds, 8.2 assists and 1.3 steals.

G2 missed a foul on Irving, and the Timberwolves died unjustly

The NBA officially announced the referee report for the last 2 minutes of the Western Conference Finals G2, and there was only one missed judgment, and the other blowing penalties were no problem, and Doncic did not take a step in the final game; Missing a foul on Irving's hitter at a critical moment - with 47.8 seconds left in the fourth quarter, the Timberwolves led by 2 points at 108-106, Irving hit McDaniels' arm when he grabbed the ball, causing the latter to touch the ball out of bounds, which should blow Irving for a foul, and Madan should have received two free throws, which was officially determined to be a key miss, and the Timberwolves suffered a big loss.

At that time, the referee did not blow Irving for a foul, Irving signaled a challenge, the Mavericks challenged successfully, McDaniels touched the ball out of bounds, and the Mavericks got the ball, this time the penalty had a great impact on the outcome of the game, and the Timberwolves not only did not get the free throw but also lost the ball.
