1:52pm, 10 June 2025Basketball

The NBA Finals season is in full swing. After the first two games, the two teams tied 1:1. The title of the championship is still full of suspense. For other teams, they are currently accelerating or preparing for subsequent transactions and strengthening; many players are frequently rumored to be traded out. Durant has been rumored to have reached a deal and it seems that the deal has been reached and is waiting for official announcement; the Knicks are interested in Kidd, and Kidd is also revealed to be interested in coaching the Knicks, but it seems that the Mavericks have a different attitude; Garland's injury update has completed surgery, which is expected to have some impact on the new season.

Let me first talk about Garland's injuries. Earlier, official news from the Cavaliers Garland underwent surgery. Famous reporter Shams reported that Garland may miss the game at the beginning of next season. It is understood that Garland suffered an injury in March, and he finished the regular season with an injury; he still played with an injury when the injury in the playoffs became more serious. This season, he averaged 20.6 points, 3 rebounds, 6.7 assists and 1.2 steals per game, which is quite good now.

, but Garland seems to be deeply involved in trading rumors. There is news that the Cavaliers are looking for a deal about him. As the leader in the Eastern Conference standings in the regular season, the Cavaliers did not go further in the playoffs. Obviously, the results here did not meet expectations, so the lineup adjustment was proposed, and Garland was one of the players mentioned. Do you think the Knights will trade him?

The Knicks are teams that have potentially big operations in the offseason; they have fired their head coach and are working on a new head coach evaluation. Previously, the Knicks were exposed to have two preparations, one was to pursue Antetokounmpo with all their might, and the other was to try to sign Kidd. According to famous reporter Vincenster, the Knicks had a strong interest in Kidd in the process of choosing a head coach, and this interest at least received a response from the other party. Both sides are interested in each other.

Currently Kidd is coaching the Mavericks, and his contract was signed with the team last year. Although Kidd and the team seemed to have some gaps after the Mavericks sent Doncic away, the Mavericks did not intend to let Kidd go. There are also some head coach deals in NBA history, but based on the current situation of the Mavericks, they are not very willing to send Kidd away. After all, during Kidd's coaching the Mavericks. He led the team to a record of 179 wins and 149 losses, and led the team to the finals.

The Knicks' side of course not only focuses on Kidd. There are also many candidates for the head coach, including those of Walton, Mike Brown, and the names of coaches such as Malone and Budenholzer have also been mentioned. Who do you think the Knicks will sign to become their head coach in the end?

Durant's trading rumors have been happening for some time, and many teams are interested in him; in addition, Durant's Suns jersey has begun to be cleared and sold. The Clippers were revealed to hope to get Durant, and they are also one of the potential dark horses in the trading; if it is reached, Durant will join forces with Harden and form a Big Three lineup with Leonard, but according to reports, this possibility is not high. When talking about Durant on the show, he said that he personally believes that the deal for Durant to the Spurs may have been completed; the two teams are just waiting for the time to come and officially announce it. Famous reporter Sidery showed off his potential trading framework, and Sohan may become one of the new bargaining chips. If Durant really goes to the Spurs, then they will usher in the new season with Durant and Vinban Yama; the Spurs in the new season will also become a very competitive team in the Western Conference. After the season's training, Vinban Yama will inevitably usher in growth, and Durant's joining will give them the final say at critical moments.

Of course, the offseason is still there, and it is expected that the Suns' trade with Durant will appear earlier. They strive to complete it before the draft and get the draft pick, and it is best to exchange for their own draft picks. Do you think Durant will go to the Spurs?
