5 years 70 million contract extension Tyronn Lue

Shams and Clippers reporter Law Murray jointly reported that Tyronn Lue and the Clippers have reached a new contract extension for five years and nearly $70 million; According to sources, Clippers owner Ballmer and president Lawrence Frank have always wanted to reach a contract extension with Tyronn Lue, and they and Tyronn Lue's agent have negotiated in recent days and finally reached an agreement on a contract extension.

Regarding the multi-year contract extension, Tyronn Lue said: "The Clippers are where I want to be. I've fallen in love with coaching this team over the past four seasons, and I'm excited to be entering a new era at Intuit Dome. I'm grateful to Ballmer, Frank and the whole team for the opportunity I was given. With our owners, management, squad, coaching staff and arena, we have everything we need to win now and in the future, and I'm sure we will.

American media Underdog NBA posted the top five list of the average salary of coaches in the NBA league: 1. Warriors coach Kerr is $17.5 million; 2. Spurs coach Popovich $16 million; 3. Heat coach Spoelstra $15 million; 4. Clippers coach Tyronn Lue $14 million; 5. Pistons coach Monty Williams $13.1 million

Tyronn Lue, 47, has coached the Clippers for four seasons and has led the team to a 184-134 regular season record and a 13-17 playoff record (1 missed the playoffs, 2 first-round rounders, 1 Western Conference finals); In this year's playoffs, the Clippers were eliminated by the Mavericks 2-4 in the first round.

The Clippers are determined to keep Harden and George

According to ESPN's Woj, the Clippers are determined to keep Harden and George. It is reported that the Clippers have not offered George a contract of more than 3 years and $152.4 million, and George is eligible to renew with the Clippers this summer for up to 4 years and $221 million, and at present, George has a player option worth $48.79 million, and this season, George averaged 22.6 points, 5.2 rebounds, 3.5 assists and 1.5 steals per game in the regular season.

Harden, who is currently an unrestricted free agent, averaged 16.6 points, 5.1 rebounds, 8.5 assists and 1.1 steals per game in the regular season this season.

James will jump out of his contract or sign a three-year, 162 million extension with the Lakers

The NBA's expectation in recent months has been that James will jump out of his contract and that the 39-year-old will become a free agent this summer, according to Brian Windhorst of The Athletic. The reason James didn't exercise the player option was more due to the contract structure than to leave the Lakers.

Previously, Rich Paul had said on the show that James would be a free agent this summer.

James currently has a player option for the 2024-25 season, valued at $51.42 million, which he must decide whether to exercise by the end of June.

ESPN salary expert Bobby Marks previously said that if James chooses not to exercise the 2024-25 player option, then he is eligible to sign a three-year, $162 million contract extension with the Lakers through the 2026-27 season, which will also be the largest contract of his career so far.

In the regular season, James averaged 25.7 points, 7.3 rebounds, 8.3 assists and 1.3 steals per game, and in the playoffs, James averaged 27.8 points, 6.8 rebounds, 8.8 assists, 2.4 steals and 1 block per game.

It was revealed that Redick will become the new coach of the Lakers

Haynes of the Athletic talked about the rumors about the Lakers and Redick on the show, saying: I would be very surprised if the Lakers' next coach is not Redick. All the news I've heard about the new Lakers coach is about Redick. As far as I know, Redick is on the phone with some potential candidates to join the coaching team, and I think Redick is likely to be the new coach of the Lakers. ”

"We've seen examples of players transitioning to coaching, including Nash, Kidd, and Kerr, who started the trend. But it's going to be a tough job, and this is James' team. Although Redick and James started a podcast together, the position of Lakers coach is difficult to hold. Pelinka has been with the Lakers for 10 years, and he has hired Luke Walton, Vogel and Ham as head coaches, but Pelinka's position is secure. If there is one person to blame, it can only be the head coach. So that's why expectations are so high for James' team. ”

Marc Stein also reported that Redick will be the new coach of the Lakers, who are building their own coaching staff, and the Lakers are expected to make the announcement after the Finals.

Lakers reporter Dan Woike reported that Pelicans assistant coach James Borrego will interview with the Lakers on Thursday about the opening of the head coach position at the Lakers' practice ground, but the people familiar with the matter have not been authorized to speak publicly; Borrego has served as an assistant coach for the Spurs, as well as head coach for the Hornets, and currently serves as an assistant coach for the Pelicans.

As previously reported, the Lakers and Redick had a "very long" meeting, and he is the Lakers' new frontrunner.

Mitchell has the power of the James-style Garland or be traded

Brain Windhorst reports that Mitchell currently has the same say in the Cavaliers as any other superstar on his team; Including the trade to be made by the team, a potential contract extension, the selection of a head coach, etc., he has the same say in the Cavaliers as James in the Lakers, and maybe even more. After all, the Lakers still have a superstar on the team, and James is almost 40 years old.

Windhorst also talked about the trade value of Cavaliers guard Garland, saying: The problem at the moment is that there aren't many teams in the league that really need a point guard right now, and given Garland's contract, he's a max-paid player, one of all the max-paid players, but he's not playing as a max-paid player. So you need to take into account his contract situation. ”

As previously reported, the Pelicans are expected to restart trade talks with the Cavaliers this summer. Garland, 24, is the No. 5 pick in Zion's class, and he has a salary of $34.01 million this season, with a salary of $36.73 million, $39.45 million, $42.17 million and $44.89 million for the remaining four seasons of his contract.

The 76ers chased Butler

The owners of the 76ers have reportedly said they somewhat regret trading Jimmy Butler five years ago, and they've seen Butler's success. They realized that, in their eyes, Butler might be the piece of the puzzle that the team was missing, and they were willing to give him the money he wanted.

Butler wants to retire from the Heat, but the Heat did not offer him a max contract, which may change Butler's mind, and Butler is seeking a max contract extension this summer, either to stay with the Heat or to renew with another team; It is reported that the 76ers are willing to give him a contract extension with a maximum salary; If the Heat peddle Butler, there will be multiple teams in the league vying for him.
