Nikola Jokic: Wolves 'Built To Beat Us'

 가장 유력한 우승 후보였던 덴버가 울브스에게 패배, 탈락한 이후 덴버의 Nikola Jokic는 울브스가 덴버를 잡기 위해 만들어진 팀이라고 평하며, 빅, 스몰을 모두 플레이 할 수 있는 팀이라고 평가합니다.

The Denver Nuggets were a popular pick to repeat as champion, but they were ultimately eliminated in the second round by a Minnesota Timberwolves team with the requisite size and defense to slow down three-time MVP Nikola Jokic.

While Anthony Edwards Karl-Anthony Towns, Jaden McDaniels and Naz Reid were in place before the arrival of Tim Connelly, the former Nuggets' executive traded for both Rudy Gobert and Mike Conley with the roster being particularly well suited to play against Denver.

"I mean, I think they're built to beat us," Jokic said. "Just look at their roster. They have basically two All-Stars, two probably first-team defensive players. Mike Conley is the most underrated player in the NBA, probably.

"From the bench, they have a Sixth Man of the Year. ... [They are] one team that they can do literally everything. They can be big, small."

LeBron James Reportedly Not Involved In Lakers' Coaching Search

 LAL이 새로운 감독으로 J.J. Redick을 고려 중인 가운데, LeBron James는 감독 선임에 영향력을 미치고 있지 않다고 합니다. 조직이 결정해야 할 문제라고 했다는군요.

The Los Angeles Lakers are considering hiring J.J. Redick as head coach, but LeBron James is reportedly not driving that candidacy. 

"I'm told LeBron James is not involved in the Lakers' head coaching search," said Shams Charania. "I reported on it last week: J.J. Redick, James Borrego and Sam Cassell are the lead initial targets.

"LeBron James James has made it clear that this is the organization's decision. He's had no conversions with the Lakers about JJ Redick, his podcast partner. He has had no conversations with J.J. about this position as well.

"I did speak to Rich Paul this morning. He said 'LeBron James and J.J. Redick do a podcast together. That does not mean that he wants J.J. Redick as his head coach.'

"But he is leaving it up to the organization. We'll see what LeBron James decides for his future. I'm told he's expected to play up to two more NBA season.

"The bottom line with LeBron James is this: if he was making the decisions for the Lakers, Ty Lue would have been the head coach in 2019. Kyrie Irving would be his point guard if he was running the team."

Charania went on to express the thinking that this coaching hire has as much to do with Anthony Davis as it does with James. 

James could become a free agent this offseason, but he is widely expected to remain with the Lakers. 

Teams Monitoring Potential Trade Availability Of Julius Randle

 리그 내 여러 팀들이 25년 선수 옵션을 가지고 있으며, 만약 이를 사용하지 않는다면 이번 여름 연장 계약을 맺을 수 있는 닉스의 Julius Randle의 행보를 지켜고보고 있다고 합니다.

MAY 20, 2024 1:56 PM

The future of Julius Randle with the New York Knicks is uncertain as he could become a free agent in 2025 if he declines his player option and is eligible for an extension this offseason. If the Knicks trade for a big star this offseason, Randle could be included as an outgoing player.

"He's got a player option in 2025," said Shams Charania. "He's eligible for a four-year, $181.5 million contract extension this summer. Teams are monitoring this situation for sure, because how they handle that extension situation, if that is a conversation, what transpires. I think that will be interesting. If you think about movable assets, salaries, obviously Julius Randle has got a number if you make a big, big trade."

The Knicks lost Randle in January to a season-ending shoulder injury, but were still one win away from the Eastern Conference Finals. 

Tom Thibodeau Wants To Extend With Knicks

 닉스의 Tom Thibodeau 감독은 자신의 계약 연장은 에이전트가 할 일이긴 하지만, 가능하면 닉스에 남고 싶다고 하는군요.

MAY 20, 2024 8:50 AM

Tom Thibodeau has been a lot place in his NBA coaching career. He knows when he wants to stay somewhere. Now, Thibodeau hopes to stay with the New York Knicks for a while longer.

“That’s something that my agent will take care of,” Thibodeau said about extending his contract. “The Knicks have been great to me. So, this is where I want to be.”

Thibodeau has one year remaining on the five-year deal he signed with New York ahead of the 2020-21 season. Sources expect that the Knicks will do what they can to extend Thibodeau this summer, likely on a deal in the range of $10 million per season.

Despite criticism that he plays his players too many minutes, several Knicks defended Thibodeau. Jalen Brunson, Josh Hart and others all expressed hope that New York would take care of their coach with a contract extension.

Knicks Enter Offseason With Goal Of Trading For Big Star

 닉스가 이번 여름, 대형 스타 영입을 목표로 하고 있다고 합니다.

MAY 20, 2024 11:53 AM

The New York Knicks are entering the 2024 offseason as the opportune time to trade for a big star, sources tell Fred Katz of The Athletic.

The Knicks have been patient in their efforts in trading for a star, such as the 2022 offseason when they couldn't agree on a deal with the Utah Jazz for Donovan Mitchell.

New York's roster will be more expensive a year from now as Julius Randle can become a free agent in 2025 and will probably receive a raise, as will Jalen Brunson. Brunson can sign an extension now, or wait until 2025 free agency to sign for a max.

The Knicks own all of their future first round picks, as well as the Dallas Mavericks' first round pick this June, and several protected picks from other teams.
