Hello friends who follow the NBA! The U.S. men's basketball team took the first group photo since the training camp, and Lao Zhan deservedly sat in the C position. Embiid was very happy with the 76ers' acquisition of George and Maxey, and George began to tear up his former club after leaving the Clippers. Curry gave an interview to show his determination to one man and one city, and talked about his relationship with James. Here's a look at the morning news for July 9th.

1. Group photo of the U.S. team

The U.S. men's basketball national team posted a group photo with the caption: 📸The U.S. men's basketball national team in 2024.

2. Highsmith returns to the Heat

Free agent Haywood Highsmith has agreed to return to the Miami Heat on a two-year, $11 million contract, according to ESPN. The two-year contract is fully guaranteed and there are no options.

While many teams around the league have a strong interest in Highsmith, he remains with the team that groomed him as an NBA player.

3. The Pelicans have no intention of providing a maximum salary for Yingge

The Pelicans have reportedly made it clear to Ingram and his agent that they are not interested in offering him a four-year contract extension with a maximum salary cap of $208 million. For now, Ingram's future with the Pelicans is uncertain.

However, the Pelicans have also publicly stated many times that they want to keep Ingram, but the salary cap has a huge impact on the team's finances. Under the new NBA rules, almost every team will be terrified by the impact of multiple max contracts.

4. Embiid: Our lineup looks great

On the topic of the 76ers getting George and re-signing Maxey, Embiid said:

I think on paper, we've got a fantastic squad. When we get a player who can break through to the interior and has a very good shooting technique. George is really a really good pitcher, shooting 40 or 45 percent from the field, Maxey, we all know he's a great pitcher, a runner off the ball, and he's a great catch-and-shoot shot.

On the surface, in terms of fit, our lineup is really good. Because we have two players who can play off the ball and on the ball and are great goalscorers, and they have me.

5. George: Almost joined the Warriors

George updates his latest podcast episode, during which he talks about the trade he almost made to the Warriors before he left his contract. He said:

It was a near-done, it was an opportunity to stay close to my home and stay on the West Coast, and it should be a win-win." I think Curry is a unicorn, and of course Embiid is too.

From what I was told, the deal was close at that time. The Warriors expressed their desire for me to join and told me how good it would be with Curry and Green. If I did, Clay might stay, and Kuminga and so on.

However, I don't know who the Warriors will trade me, and in the end, it didn't work out, and I think the Clippers didn't want the chips the Warriors were giving them...... But it was really close at the time.

6. George: The Clippers are a bit disrespectful

George said: I don't really want to leave the Clippers, Los Angeles is my home, I want to finish my career there and win a championship. It started out that they offered me a contract that I felt was a bit disrespectful, and it was a two-year, $60 million offer, which was crazy. I was like, 'No, I'm not going to sign it.'"

Later, their offer slowly increased to around $44 million or $45 million a year, and I still felt like I wouldn't sign it. Later, I heard about the extension of his contract ($150 million for three years), and I thought I would get a similar contract. We came to the Clippers together, and I should be okay with that kind of contract, but the Clippers don't want to do that.

Until the end of the season, I wanted a three-year, $150 million contract extension, and he wanted to add a trade veto to the contract. But the Clippers didn't want to add a trade veto to the contract, and the two sides didn't negotiate.

They don't want to join the veto of the deal, so at least I have to get a maximum salary of 212 million for 4 years. If you're going to trade me, I'm going to have to at least get the contract. But they still didn't agree, so I chose to leave.

7. UConn renews Hurley's contract

UConn has reportedly announced that Dan Hurley has officially signed a new contract that runs through the 2029-30 season. The six-year agreement is valued at $50 million and includes additional performance-based incentives.

This contract is a full 20 million less than the amount offered by the Lakers.

8. Theis signed with the Pelicans

ESPN reported that free agent Dan Theis has reached a one-year, $3 million contract deal with the Pelicans.

9, Wiseman is embarrassing

After signing a 1+1 contract with the Pacers, reporters disclosed the detailed amount, of which Wiseman's new contract is only 500,000 guaranteed in the first year of his new contract, and only 570,000 in the second year of the contract is a team option.

For comparison, Wiseman signed a rookie contract with the Warriors for 4 years and 37.68 million, with an average annual salary of 9.42 million.

In comparison, the annual salary of the 20-year-old champion show Edwards in the new season is 42.18 million, and the annual salary of the three-ball show in the new season is 35.14 million.

10. Curry: The Warriors of the End

Curry is interviewed by Yahoo. Reporter: As the Western Conference continues to go strong, this threatens to push the Warriors further out of contention, as the team was already the No. 10 seed last season. Will Curry stay and face it all?

Curry: I can say definitively, I want to be part of the Warriors for the rest of my life. That's always been my goal, and I'm sitting in this chair right now saying those things, but like you said, life, especially in the NBA, is a wild environment that changes very quickly.

11. Curry: My relationship with James has always been good

Curry was interviewed at the U.S. men's basketball training camp. Speaking about his relationship with James, Curry said:

Our relationship has been good from the beginning, not that it has gone bad at any point. We had a great relationship when I was in college, and he came over and watched one or two of my games. Then in my rookie season, before we played the Cavaliers on the road, he invited me to his house, and he's been living in Akron.

And then there's some of the finals stuff that you talked about, and of course, the finals can inspire a healthy amount of hostility because there's someone standing on your path to achieving your goals. You know you're going to feel some bad emotions there. But after all of this, I firmly believe that you can show a competitive spirit, you can have a killer instinct, you can see the other person bleed, and still have the utmost respect for your opponent, and that's the ultimate credit for someone like LeBron, who is always raising the bar in everything he does.

"Until now, we've been in a division and they beat us in the playoffs last year. So there's still that kind of competition. But I can enjoy the experience with all my heart and get to know him more deeply as a teammate. I think at this point in our careers, we all deserve this experience, which is cool.

12. Mobley became a free agent

The Cavaliers have reportedly made no qualifying offer to Isaiah Mobley, who has become a full free agent.

Isaiah Mobley, the older brother of Cavaliers player Evan Mobley, was selected with the 49th pick in the second round of the 2022 Draft, and he played with Evan Mobley for 2 seasons in a row with the Cavaliers.
