Crazy night! Thibodeau was fired, Durant was sold off, and the Lakers signed three major targets

On June 4, the NBA Finals had not started yet, and another crazy night was happening off the court. The free market had become lively. The Knicks, who were eliminated in the Eastern Conference Finals, made a major decision and fired coach Thibodeau, who would be committed to finding a coach who could lead the team to compete for the championship; Durant was sold, and the Suns even took the initiative to lower the offer; the Lakers are also taking active action, with three inside goals being released.

According to famous reporter Shams, the Knicks fired coach Thibodeau. The team is currently focusing on championship competition and confirming that the new coach will become the team's next development focus.

The news was quite sudden. After all, the previous news revealed that the president and Brunson were both satisfied with Thibodeau, but he did not expect that the boss would directly finalize the dismissal. Even though he led the team back to the Eastern Conference Finals after 25 years, he did not escape the fate of being fired. In his five seasons as the head coach of the Knicks, Thibodeau led the team to the playoffs four times, achieving a record of 226 wins and 174 losses, and 24 wins and 23 losses in the four playoffs, with a good result. Among them, the most questionable thing about Thibodeau is his employment, which basically relies on the main players. The regular season basically rotates 7 people. Judging from the results, Thibodeau is still very good, and the reason why he was dismissed was probably because he could not control it in the locker room, and the team needed a more authoritative coach.

The Suns and Durant seem to have come to an end, and even if the candidate for the coach is determined, the possibility of staying is very low. It is reported that in order to be able to send Durant away, the Suns even kept lowering their offer in conversations with the Rockets, mainly to get their own draft picks back from them. Obviously, Durant is no longer a hot spot in the trading market. Although many teams are interested in him, it is no longer realistic to get rich returns.

Finally, let's take a look at the Lakers' signing trends. The main target is still inside players, and there are also three major goals, namely Clarkston, Gafford and Capela. Among them, the Lakers and the Nets are already connected, and Clarkston is also interested in joining the Lakers. Next, it depends on the results of the negotiations between the teams. Once it can be reached, the Lakers' lineup will be improved, at least the inside is no longer a weak link.
