On June 3, Beijing time, the NBA overnight dynamic summary, many teams intend to hire Ham as an assistant coach, the 76ers pursue the third giant, potential targets are James, George, Butler and Ingram, Philadelphia also intends to renew Oubre, Lowry and Batum; The Pelicans officially rejected the Lakers' 17-'24 pick, and the Hornets were willing to accept junk contracts for draft picks.

The Suns' offer to hire Hamm was turned down

According to Shams, multiple teams are interested in hiring former Lakers coach Darvin Ham as an assistant coach.

According to Marc Stein of The Athletic, league sources say Budenholzer had tried to convince Ham to join Phoenix's coaching staff; After two difficult seasons with the Lakers, Ham was already fired by the Lakers on May 4, and he passed up that opportunity; The Suns responded by asking Vogel's assistant coach David Fitzdale to remain as Budenholzer's assistant coach, and they initially offered him a management position.

It has previously been reported that the Warriors have contacted Ham, who is currently unemployed, so which team's coaching staff will he join? We'll see.

The 76ers pursue the Big Three

According to 76ers reporter Keith Pompey, the 76ers want to acquire a max-paid player through a free market signing or trade, with potential targets including James, George, Butler, and Ingram.

The 76ers have nearly $65 million in space this summer, and they also have the No. 16 pick in the first round and the 41st pick in the second round in this year's draft, as well as some future draft picks, which means the 76ers can combine those assets together and trade them to get a player who can match Embiid and Maxey.

In addition, the 76ers believe they can trade draft picks to acquire experienced role players with smaller contracts, and having a roster of three max-paid players would allow them to sign higher-level base-paid players.

The 76ers are interested in re-signing Oubre, Lowry, and Batum in the offseason, and based on some restrictions, the three are the free agents the 76ers are most likely to want to renew.

This season, the 76ers finished the regular season with a 47-35 record and ranked seventh in the East, defeated the Heat in the play-offs, and lost 2-4 to the Knicks in the first round.

The Lakers officially retained the No. 17 pick

The Pelicans officially announced that they refused to accept the Lakers' 2024 first-round pick No. 17 and postponed the first-round pick from the Lakers until 2025. In the previous big trade, the Pelicans had the option to acquire one of the Lakers' 2024 or 2025 first-round picks.

The 2024 draft will take place June 27-28, with the Pelicans holding the No. 21 pick (from the Bucks) and the Lakers owning the No. 17 and No. 55 picks.

In the next seven years, the Lakers' 25-year first-round pick to the Pelicans and '27 to the Jazz (top-4 protection), because draft picks can only be traded for up to seven years, so the Lakers can only trade the 2029 or 2030 first-round pick at the moment, and after draft night, the Lakers can trade this year's first-round pick (17th pick), '29 first-round pick and '31 first-rounder.

Lakers reporters suggested that the Lakers sign Okoro

 According to American reporter Peter Sampson, there is uncertainty about the future of Cavaliers player Okoro, who will become a restricted free agent this summer.

Because Okoro has been so good in a contract year, league insiders believe his next contract will be over $14 million, which is a price that is higher than the full mid-range. Los Angeles Times reporter Dan Woike believes the Lakers could try to sign Okoro in the offseason.

Okoro, the No. 5 pick in 2020, played in 69 regular-season games for the Cavaliers in 2023-24, averaging 9.4 points, 3.0 rebounds and 1.9 assists per game while shooting a career-high 39.1% from three-point range.

Wasp is willing to receive garbage contracts

According to Evaan Sidery, the Hornets are willing to accept some junk contracts to acquire draft picks, and Charlotte could be a key enabler of the trade this offseason. Before the trade deadline, Charlotte was given two 2027 first-round picks, from Terry Rozier and PJ Washington.

Other developments of the alliance -

Thibodeau will almost certainly sign a Knicks contract extension at "market price" in the offseason, with an annual salary of at least $10 million, Stein reported.

Jeff Van Gundy could join Mazzulla's coaching staff next season.

Many players on the Nuggets team like Hayward, after the Thunder general manager said that it was a mistake to trade for Hayward, and Hayward's wife publicly lashed out at Thunder management.

Regarding Bronny's draft situation, Nick Young said: Bronny's decision to stay in the draft is a loss for us at USC, and I can understand it. His agent says he's only tryouts for two teams, the Lakers and Suns, do you think that hints at anything? Can we see Lao Zhan and KD teaming up?

Regarding the remarks of the 04 piston who roared at Tianzun to blow up the Warriors, Dream Chaser Green responded: I think we will blow you up. You were averaging only 72 points per game. That's not half a game. We're going to give you and your big man a boost in every pick-and-roll. Let's see how fast you move. That championship ring of yours is great, though. We all appreciate it.

The Timberwolves are expected to pay the luxury tax next season for the first time since the 2007-08 season, and the luxury tax line for the 2024-25 season is 171.3 million, and the Timberwolves' salary is already as high as 196.2 million, a record in franchise history.
