News from Durant, Poole, Warriors and Thunder came from the NBA

On June 12, the NBA Finals G3 will officially start, with the Indiana Pacers facing the Thunder at home. The two sides are currently tied 1-1. This game is crucial to both teams. For the teams and players that have ended this season early, they are carefully planning their own bright future, including contract renewal, departure, and transaction... Let's take a look at the latest news about the teams and players:

Teams interested in Durant have been reduced to 5

According to NBA reporters, the teams interested in Durant are mainly Rockets, Spurs, Knicks, Timberwolves, and Heat. And with the negotiation of the transaction, whether a long-term contract renewal (111 million in 2 years) is a key factor. He was able to score 26.6 points, 6.0 rebounds, 4.2 assists, 0.8 steals and 1.2 blocks this season, but the team ranked 11th in the Western Conference and failed to enter the playoffs.

And the Timberwolves intends to trade with Durant without giving away McDaniels or Reed, so in order to match the salary, they can only pay Randall or Gobert. This season, the Timberwolves defeated the Lakers and the Warriors all the way to enter the Western Conference Finals. Although Randall used natural misalignment in the first two rounds to become the team's best performance, his true colors were revealed in the face of the Thunder, and it was difficult to perform at both ends of the offense and defense. With the rise of the current five-for-one lineup, Gobert's role in the inside has been singled, affecting the team's offensive space. If Edwards wants to go further, it is imperative to trade Gobert in the Timberwolves!

Wizards will trade Poole in the summer, According to draft experts, Jordan Poole may be traded by the Wizards on draft night or later this summer. Poole is currently only 25 years old. He was selected by the Warriors as the 28th pick in 2019. He averaged double-digit points per game for three consecutive seasons, and was very efficient and had an excellent shooting feel. He helped the Warriors win the championship in the 21-22 season. However, after friction with Mengmeng Green, the Warriors received compensation with a 4-year, 128 million contract, but then quickly traded it to the Wizards. The team that the Wizards have rebuilt for years has averaged 20.5 points per game, but the efficiency is very inefficient, and the management has lost patience with it.

Warriors will pursue Bucks general Portis

reporter said: The Bucks hope Portis can return, but if it is just a middle-class exception, he will have many next players. The Warriors will be the most competitive team. In the 2023 World Cup, head coach Cole has always liked him. This season, he can score 14 points, 8.2 rebounds and 1.4 assists in five playoffs. He has a good ability to play low and back, and his height of 2.08 meters is very suitable for the current Warriors, and he has good speed and lateral movement ability. He is also a reliable defender.

The Warriors and Payton Jr. intend to continue to cooperate with each other, but the Warriors hope to cut their salary and renew their contracts. In 11 games in the playoffs, he averaged 4.6 points, 2.2 rebounds and 1.5 assists per game, with a three-point shooting percentage of up to 39.1%, and his salary this season is $9.18 million. He has excellent physical fitness and athletic ability, and is also an indispensable defensive gate for the team's outside.

Kidi single-for-Caruso Thunder made a fortune

Thunder reporter reported: Last offseason, the Thunder used Kidi single to exchange for the Bulls Caruso's transaction details. If Chicago wants a future draft pick, the management will choose without hesitation, because the Thunder has too many assets in the future, so how to use it has always been very difficult, and Presti also understands Caruso's influence on the team's championship. As a team selected for the best defensive team for two consecutive years, Caruso is only 1.96 meters tall, but he can use his excellent defensive habits and awareness to switch to the inside to protect the penalty area. As long as he plays, he will be everywhere, giving the ball-holder a suffocating defense. The offensive end also has an excellent feel, and can hit three-pointers to help the team open the breakthrough space. In the finals, G2 was even more offensive and defensive. The substitute came out of the bench for 6 of 11 shots and made 4 of 8 three-pointers, scoring Alexander's new high of 20 points and 3 rebounds shining throughout the game.
