The NBA Finals are about to usher in a 7-game. It is a life and death between the Thunder and the Pacers. Whoever can win the game will win the championship. The price of tickets for the finals has also soared. When everyone's attention is focused on the finals, they do not forget to pay attention to the news outside the court. After all, Durant's whereabouts will become one of the biggest concerns in the offseason, and it is very likely to be achieved in the next few days. On the other hand, there seems to be new trends on the Raptors. Let's take a look at the latest updates together. NBA: Rejecting the Rockets deal, the Suns exposed a locker room fight, and the Raptors may send 88 million to renew their contract.
The Rockets and Spurs are still Durant's favorite next home, but the negotiations on Durant seem to have stalled. Both teams are unwilling to give out more chips in the transaction. The trading plan given by the Rockets earlier was rejected by the Suns. According to reporter Brett Siegel, the Rockets used Jaylen Green + No. 10 to bid Durant and were unwilling to produce players like Jay Jr. Ethan, Shepard, and other players that the Suns like. Sources revealed that the Suns explicitly refused to accept Green, and the Rockets were unable to find a third party to facilitate the deal. Jaylen Green became the main obstacle for the Rockets to chase Durant.
According to sources, the Suns want to get core chips in the deal about Durant, including the No. 10 pick Dillon in the first round, as well as Garcia Paris Smith or Ethan. However, at present, the two teams have relatively large differences in chips regarding the transaction, and the possibility of transactions is constantly decreasing. The Rockets are waiting for the Suns to lower their asking price.
Although all signs indicate that the Suns are working hard to get the deal to send Durant away, it is likely to complete the deal before the draft, which will help them operate in the future. After all, they will continue to form a new lineup with Booker as the core, but at present, unless the Suns choose to lower the asking price, the deal will be difficult to reach. Given the current situation of the Suns, each team may force them to make concessions because of the Suns' passiveness. It is worth mentioning that the chips on the Timberwolves seem to be the best among the current teams, but Durant refuses to go to the Timberwolves.
Interestingly, Cousins broke out in a program in a show that there were many fights in the Suns locker room this season. Durant then tweeted to refute that we had never done these things. Cousins then responded to KD on Twitter, writing: "The source comes from one of your teammates, And I'm not talking about you... Save it, brother, leave this set to others. I don't know the authenticity of this news at the moment, but the groundlessness is not coming, and the Suns' problem is still very obvious. Do you think Durant will be sent away by a trade before the draft?
In addition, the Raptors were also exposed to intend to chase Durant, but the discussion did not seem to go smoothly, and Durant refused to go to the Raptors. According to the Raptors' reporters with the team, the Raptors will not put center Pelter in the trading plan for Durant. Before the transaction deadline, the Suns had asked for Pelter, but the Raptors refused. Now the Suns are still making similar requests.
Now this situation may prompt the Raptors to go with Pelter next The early renewal has been reached. At present, he still has 19.5 million contract for the last year left as the player option. He is eligible to sign a three-year early renewal contract worth $88.2 million during the offseason; if he chooses to jump out of the contract and re-sign, he can get a four-year, $121.8 million contract extension. Pelter played 57 games for the Raptors this season, averaging 29.5 minutes per game, and he can score 14.5 points, 9.6 rebounds, 2.8 assists, 1.2 steals and 1.2 blocks. The Raptors' early renewal is even more likely to send 88.2 million. The offseason is about to begin, and there will be more deals next to that, let's wait and see. There is another news that there are two famous media reporters with team members announced their resignation. I wonder if the Lakers will have a big operation next.
