News from Durant, Antetokounmpo, Clippers and Lakers in the NBA

On June 10, the NBA Finals are in full swing, and the Thunder and Pacers are currently tied 1-1. Teams that have ended this season early are looking for immediate combat players to strengthen their team's shortcomings, and players are considering their future development carefully. Let’s take a look at the latest news between the players and the team:

Durant’s trading value is reduced next 2-choice 1

According to the Suns reporter, the Suns will strive to reach a Durant deal before the 2025 draft, and the boss is responsible for the deal himself. It is no longer a secret that the Suns disbanded the Big Three in the offseason, and Durant and Bill will both face being traded. This season, Durant still played unsolvable on both offense and defense, but in the end, he failed to lead the team to the playoff stage due to the shortcomings of the team's lineup. He averaged 26.6 points, 6 rebounds, 4.2 assists and 1.2 blocks per game in the regular season, shooting 52.7% from the field and 43% from three-point shooting percentage, and his salary next season is $53.28 million.

Durant's transaction value has been declining again and again due to the age of 36 and hidden dangers of injury. Currently, the only teams that are interested in are the young Rockets and the Spurs, but they are all lowering the price. The Rockets are unwilling to go out to Shin Kyung and Amen, so they can only play roles around Jaylen Green and the 2025 No. 10 draw. The Spurs are unwilling to make the second pick in 2025, so they can only trade with chips from Devin Vassel + Barnes + No. 14 in 2025.

Antetokounmpo stayed behind the Bucks and the management will reach a four-year contract of 290 million

According to NBA sources, Antetokounmpo has made a clear statement that he plans to continue playing for the Bucks and has no intention of submitting a deal application this summer offseason. And he will reach a four-year, super maximum salary of 290 million yuan with management next offseason. This season, the Bucks were unfortunate, and the team has been out of the first round of the playoffs for three consecutive years. Lillard wanted to change this situation when he came to the transaction, but suffered a major injury caused by a ruptured Achilles tendon, which completely locked the team's salary space, making it difficult to have the opportunity to strengthen the operation.

The Clippers are interested in Brogdon and Smart

According to Clippers reporters, the Clippers will continue to introduce experienced players to assist Harden and Kat, and Brogdon and Smart are interested in Brogdon and Smart. This season, the Clippers are a pity. It is rare for the team to maintain all members' health after the playoffs, but they met the Nuggets whose strength should not be underestimated in the first round of the playoffs. In the end, the two sides fought for 7 games, and the Clippers lost 3-4 to the Nuggets in the first round.

Brogden is currently 32 years old and is 1.93 meters tall. This season, due to injury, he has played only 24 games for the Trail Blazers, averaging 12.7 points, 3.8 rebounds and 461 assists per game. He has excellent scoring and organizational ties, and can serve as the ball handler and tactical starting point for the second team. Smart is currently 31 years old and is 1.91 meters tall. He has only played 34 games this season, averaging 9 points, 2.1 rebounds and 3.2 assists per game, and his salary next season is US$21.34 million. As the best defensive player, he has fierce defense and strong body, which can provide passion for the team and serve as a defensive gate on the outside.

The Lakers will rush to Jazz center Kessler

The Lakers reporter talked about the possibility of the Lakers trading Kessler: Any player in the Jazz team can be traded, but the asking price for Kessler will be very high, and it is difficult to trade with only Kneckett + first-round picks. He is currently only 23 years old and is 2.13 meters tall. He can score luxurious data of 11.1 points, 12.2 rebounds and 2.3 blocks this season.

Although the Lakers are third in the West this season, they face the tall Timberwolves in the inside in the first round. The vacuum of the Lakers' inside was fully exposed and they finally lost 1-4 to the Timberwolves. Kessler has good screening ability and has certain three-point shooting ability. He will be very adaptable to Doncic and is even more outstanding in rebounding protection. If the Lakers can finally get it, then the strength of the lineup next season will be very terrifying.
