The NBA playoffs continue, and as the Celtics sweep their opponents to advance, the fourth matchup between the Mavericks and the Timberwolves on the Western side is also attracting more attention from the outside world, and for them they are only one win away from the Statin Finals. Many players of the team still chose to play with injuries in the case of injuries, and strive to advance to the final as soon as possible. For other teams that have been eliminated from the tournament, thinking ahead about the offseason operation and reinforcements to prepare for next season is something they need to think about right now. The news of multiple teams and players in the offseason has also been newly exposed, so let's take a look at what the news is worth paying attention to. NBA: One team wants to give the maximum salary, one asks for the maximum salary, the 76ers have ideas, and the Thunder reinforce three goals.

Let's talk about the Pacers first, the team faced many operations in the offseason after the Pacers were eliminated 0:4, the first is the renewal of the team's Siakam, you must know that the salary of the existing regular players in the new season should be $112.5 million, and Siakam will become a free agent this offseason. Siakam's average of 21.7 points, 7.1 rebounds and 4.3 assists per game this season has become an important part of the team and an important factor in the team's ability to go far in the playoffs. Shams said on the show that the Pacers have prepared a salary cap for Siakam in the offseason. The maximum contract they can award under a collective bargaining agreement is $245 million for five years. The specific amount of the contract will wait for the exposure of follow-up news.

Siakam is the team is willing to give him a maximum salary, and the other player wants to be paid a maximum salary himself, whether he can get it is another matter. According to reporter Anthony Chiang, Butler wants to get a maximum salary contract in the offseason, preferably from the Heat, but whether it is the Heat or other teams, he wants a maximum salary contract, Butler can get 20.8 points, 5.3 rebounds and 5 assists this season, for the current situation of the Heat, it is still relatively difficult for Butler to get the maximum salary from the team, after all, there have been cases before.

If Butler can't get the maximum salary cap with the Heat or is waived by the Heat, then he is still the object that many teams are willing to pursue. According to 76ers reporter Keith Pompey, if the Heat are willing to trade Butler, the 76ers are willing to trade him and offer a two-year contract extension with a maximum salary. It's clear that the 76ers have something in mind about Butler. Let's just say that the 76ers have space and draft picks in the offseason, and they will definitely want to further adjust and strengthen the roster, after all, it is no secret that the team intends to chase George, of course, in addition to George, people like Butler, Ingram, LaVine and others are all potential targets for their pursuit.

In addition, as a young team, the Thunder team is out of the game, and it is obvious that although they can accept this result, they still want to go further in the future, after all, the team's existing core is young. Interestingly, team general manager Sam Preese spoke about Hayward at a press conference, saying that the team traded to get Hayward screwed. Being traded, he doesn't think he's made the right judgment. In seven games, Hayward played a total of 46 minutes, shooting 0-of-3 from the field and scoring nothing, averaging 1.9 rebounds, 0.4 assists, 0.14 steals and 0.14 blocks per game. So Hayward's wife responded that when it came to the trade, he wouldn't let him play, why was that?

Of course, the Thunder are also expected to further improve the depth and strength of the roster in the offseason, according to reporter Michael Scotto, Wallan, Hatten, and Claxton are the goals of the Thunder in the offseason. Roughly meaning that the Thunder are looking at potential teams in the free agent center market, there are several names to choose from, such as Claxton, who could get more than $20 million in the market, such as Harden, like Valanciunas, who is not expected to return to the Pelicans.

There is also news from the Rockets, according to reporters, the Rockets are expected to sell the No. 3 pick before the draft, hoping to get a star-level player so that the team can impact better results in the new season.
