NBA news on and off the court: James refuses to cut salary, Reeves tests the free market, Clippers are interested in Holiday

NBA playoffs are in full swing. In the G4 of the Eastern Conference Finals ended yesterday, Halliburton used his magic again, with 32 points, 12 rebounds, 15 assists, 4 steals and 0 mistakes, leading the Pacers to defeat the Knicks 130-121, leading the score 3-1, and one foot has entered the finals. The championship seems to be produced between the Thunder and the Pacers. The game was very busy and the off-court was not idle. Not only did this night pass, but three more news came from the NBA, let's see what happened together.

James refuses to cut salary

According to the analysis of Lakers' team reporter Jovan Buha, the team's salary will exceed the first tyrant line next season. James needs to accept a salary cut of about 15 million to maintain the team's flexibility. However, according to previous Shams reports, James will execute a contract of 52.6 million next season and will not accept a salary cut. Time went back to last year's offseason, when James and the Lakers signed a two-year contract of 101.3 million yuan, earning 3 million less to help the team avoid taxes, and expressed that if they could catch up with stars like Clay and Harden, they would accept a larger salary cut, but they both failed. Next year seems to be confirmed to be the last year for James, so it is reasonable to choose not to cut his salary.

Reeves tests the free market

According to Lakers reporter Jovan Buha's speech on the show, Reeves will not renew his contract with the team in advance this summer. Eric, a famous American reporter, said Reeves will test the free market next year and seek a offer with a starting salary of about 30 million yuan. When Pelinka heard this news, she probably got irritated. I have to say that Xiaoli’s contract of 53.83 million in four years is really good. Although she performed poorly in the playoffs, she is worthy of this contract. But then again, if the Lakers are aiming for the championship, they will trade quickly while they are cost-effective now and don’t put them in their hands and depreciate. This year’s playoffs have proved that they can’t be hard. It’s really good to be the third leader and play the sixth man. It’s impossible for other teams to match the contract. Both defenders are not defensive and are destined to stare at you.

The Clippers are interested in Holiday

According to a famous American reporter Brian Robb, many teams are currently interested in Holiday's former champion puzzle, and the Clippers are one of them. As soon as the news came out, the fans and friends were in an instant. This wave was not understood by the Clippers' operations and they were still old. Now the basketball pace is fast, and I really have nothing but experience. Harden, Powell, and Leonard are old enough. Now I am young. Look at the Timberwolves, Thunder, Pacers, and Rockets. You are rushing, rushing hard, fighting hard, and having a fast pace and strong impact. It's really a 35-year-old Holiday with an annual salary of 32.4 million yuan. And judging from his performance this year, he has a clear regression. He is no longer the defensive player he used to be. He will be in his hands when he comes to the transaction.

Dear fans, the above are three news today. Do you think James will accept a salary cut this year? Can the Lakers strengthen their center? Let's wait and see together!
