1、 Chevalier and employer coach
According to ESPN, Cavaliers have fired coach J B. Bikestav. Bikstaff has two years left in his coaching contract, worth about $10 million.

2. Hot Candidates for the New Coach
According to Shams, Kenny Atkinson and James Borrego are the hot candidates to replace Bikestaff, including Terry Stotz and Frank Vogel.
At the same time, many people around the Cavaliers are optimistic that they will get a commitment from Mitchell that he will sign a four-year contract worth 208 million dollars.

3、 The main reason for Bikstaff's dismissal was Mitchell
The famous journalist Shams Charania wrote an article about the details behind the Cavaliers' dismissal of Bikestav. He wrote:
Although Cavaliers have made progress under the leadership of Bikestaff, his team has been in trouble after the All Star Game in the past three seasons. Perhaps most importantly, Mitchell and other players do not have much confidence in Kostav as a future coach, as many league sources have said for most of this season.
Whether fair or not, these players privately or openly questioned Bikestaff's strategy, game management, training habits and responsibility measures throughout the season. Bikestaff must manage a lineup that is constantly troubled by the absence of injured players and the pressure of the entire organization to persuade Mitchell to accept a four-year contract extension of $208 million.

8、 76 people may consider providing the contract to Clay
According to NBA reporter Jake Fischer, Philadelphia 76ers may consider offering Clay a 1+1 contract similar to Bruce Brown.
The 76ers noticed that Pacers paid Bruce Brown a two-year contract, which later became the highest salary when they traded Siakam with Raptors. Veteran wingers like Clay and Pop will become the target of the 76ers to provide similar 1+1 contracts.

10、 The Lakers and Spurs are interested in Paul
NBA reporter Marc Stein wrote an article about the career prospects of Warrior guard Paul. He wrote:
If Paul becomes a free agent during the offseason, both the Spurs and the Lakers may pursue him. Paul's long-term friendship with James and his well-known desire to maintain close relations with his family in Los Angeles undoubtedly add credibility to the Lakers' idea of signing him.

11、 James Defends Brownie
The 8th episode of the podcast "Field Brain" founded by James and Reddick aired, during which James talked about many basketball topics.
When talking about the external pressure faced by Clark, the No. 1 player in the WNBA this season, James said: I hope she can play well. I'm in this mode because, I met the same thing when I watched my 19 year old son play basketball. He suffered a lot of hostility and hatred, but he was just a child trying to chase his dream. Only a few people in the world can realize their dream of engaging in professional sports. And we have some adult men and women who are trying to make sure that doesn't happen. That's the strangest thing in the world. But this is the case. I'm glad Caitlin is clear headed. I don't think I have met her, but it seems that everything about her will be great, because she is talented. She seems to be a great lady. She will turn the prospects of that team around and rebuild its glory.

12、 Downes Attack Jamming Ball Fragment Released
The NBA officially released a video that in yesterday's game between the lone ranger and the Timberwolves, the staff of the playback center confirmed the ruling of Downes that the offensive basket interfered with the ball by using the eagle eye view technology.
To this Finch said: Yes, this is a difficult video playback. I told you, 'I haven't been so disappointed with your performance for a long time. Your performance, attitude, effort and attention to details have all disappeared. ' The Western Conference finals began. I wonder if they have received the memo.
