<p>The&nbsp;<strong>Golden State Warriors</strong>&nbsp;failed in their quest to win another championship when they were eliminated by the&nbsp;<strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/los-angeles-lakers">Lakers</a></strong>&nbsp;in the playoffs. In a roster with star players such as <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/stephen-curry">Stephen Curry</a></strong>, Klay Thompson or <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/draymond-green">Draymond Green</a></strong>, head coach <strong>Steve Kerr</strong> realized some decisions have to be made quickly.</p>



<p><em>“To be fair, I think this team ultimately maxed out. We were barely in the playoff picture most of this year.&nbsp;<strong>This is not a championship team</strong>. We did a pretty good job of finding something here over the last month. We came close to recapturing what we had, but we didn’t quite get there. We didn’t feel like a championship team all year, but we had the guts and the fortitude to believe.”</em></p>

<h2>Rudy Gay could fill the last roster spot the Warriors</h2>



<p>According to a report from Anthony Slater, the <strong>Golden State Warriors</strong> are interested in signing <strong>Rudy Gay</strong> with their last roster spot. It’s important to remember that Gay is currently under contract with the <strong>Oklahoma City Thunder</strong>, but, many experts point out that he could be available in the next weeks.</p>

<p><strong>Damian Lillard</strong> wants to be traded from the <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/portland-trail-blazers">Portland Trail Blazers</a></strong> and there’s no turning back. Though a few weeks ago the team shut down any calls asking for the star player, now it’s a totally different situation which might shift the balance of power in the <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/nba">NBA</a></strong>.</p>



<p>Lillard is currently under contract until the 2026-2027 season. In 2022, he signed that two-year extension worth $225 million. Nevertheless, there were many doubts about his future considering the&nbsp;<strong>Blazers</strong>&nbsp;are still far away from being a contender.</p>

<p>Now, especially after the Blazers drafted <strong>Scoot Henderson</strong>, the&nbsp;<strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nba/lebron-james-announces-final-decision-between-lakers-or-retirement-20230702-BUS-22095.html">final decision</a></strong> has been made. <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/damian-lillard">Damian Lillard</a></strong> won’t play anymore at <strong>Portland</strong> and now there’s a massive struggle between the team receiving big offers and the point guard rejecting them to fulfill his wish.</p>



<h2>Damian Lillard rejects two massive contenders</h2>



<p><strong>Damian Lillard</strong> has chosen the <strong>Miami Heat</strong> as his next destination to play with <strong>Jimmy Butler</strong>. That’s why, according to a report from Sams Charania, he already has rejected two big offers from the <strong>Los Angeles Clippers</strong> and the <strong>Boston Celtics</strong>. </p>

<p>However, the Blazers’ front office won’t make it that easy for him and that’s been made clear by general manager, <strong>Joe Cronin</strong>. “We’re going to be patient. We’re going to do what’s best for our team. We’re going to see how this lands. And if it takes months, it takes months.”</p>



<p>Furthermore, the big problem for <strong>Damian Lillard</strong> is that he doesn’t have a no-trade clause in his contract. In this scenario, the <strong>Blazers</strong> are in total control looking for the best package for their future. </p>



<p>If a better offer arrives, the&nbsp;<strong>Miami Heat</strong>&nbsp;will be out of the race. That’s why many star players are following closely the situation as it could have massive ramifications for the&nbsp;<strong>Blazers</strong>&nbsp;as a franchise in the future.</p>

<p>Sportswear companies often compete to sign the best athletes, especially in the NBA, which is typically the most lucrative market for selling shoes with the names of players like Kobe Bryant or <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/lebron-james">LeBron James</a></strong>.</p>



<p>However, no one has yet surpassed what <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/michael-jordan">Michael Jordan</a> and Nike have accomplished</strong> in what is one of the most lucrative contracts for selling sports shoes and apparel worldwide, with Jordan pocketing a<strong> $100m yearly check in profits alone.</strong></p>



<p>It is not the first time that a Chinese brand has signed an NBA player. Previously, Li-Ning signed a deal with <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/jimmy-butler"><strong>Jimmy Butler</strong></a> for his first signature shoe, the “JB-1.” More Chinese companies are expected to attract other players.</p>



<h2>Who is the Mavericks player who signed with a Chinese company?</h2>



<p>According to Shams Charania, <strong>the player who recently signed an endorsement deal with the Chinese sportswear company ANTA is Kyrie Irving.</strong> The amount of the contract is not yet known, but Irving’s management company is expected to release all the details of the deal soon.</p>



<figure class="aligncenter size-full wp-block-image"><div><figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" width="498" height="537" src="https://media.bolavip.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2023/07/28111819/charania-kyrie-irving-anta-chinese-deal-498x537.webp" alt="" class="wp-image-27500" sizes="(max-width: 498px) 100vw, 498px"></figure></div></figure>

<p>According to <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/nba">NBA </a></strong>Insider Ramona Shelburne, things could get more complicated for the Blazers than they think.

<p>For some teams, such as the <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/golden-state-warriors">Golden State Warriors</a></strong>, finding a player to fill the 14th spot on the roster has become a nightmare. Others have found it easier to sign a veteran or other little-known player.</p>



<p>However, the Golden State Warriors can’t just sign any player. They must look to free agents and other players to fill a spot that could be bench-breaking during the regular season.</p>


        <div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" use="ALSO" link="https://bolavip.com/en/nba/nba-warriors-chris-paul-responds-to-bench-speculation-20230710-BUS-26425.html" image="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https%3A%2F%2Fimages.bolavip.com%2Fwebp%2Fen%2Ffull%2FBUS_20230710_BUS_26425_Chris-Paul-during-his-last-season-with-the-Suns.webp&amp;width=200&amp;height=200" excerpt="The Golden State Warriors know that with Chris Paul they are adding a lot of experience to their roster.

" title="NBA: Warriors&apos; Chris Paul responds to bench speculation" publication_id="BUS#20230710#BUS#26425"></div>


<p>So far, the team is solid with their veteran starters, and they now have <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/chris-paul">Chris Paul</a></strong>, who will likely become a key player for the franchise in the upcoming 2-3 seasons. However, it’s still unclear if he will be a starter.</p>



<h2>What options do the Warriors have for the 14th spot?</h2>



<p>According to a recent article in The Athletic by Anthony Slater, <strong>the Warriors are doing all due diligence to find the player to fill the 14th spot. However, if they can’t find a player, their last option will be a training camp competition.</strong></p>



<p>In the article, Slater cites team sources that said: <strong><em>“They went into free agency intent on settling two needs: an extra veteran hand in the backcourt and a reliable frontcourt option who could pass and shoot it. Cory Joseph and Šarić checked those boxes. The remaining market is pretty dry.”</em></strong></p>



<p>The second option for the Warriors is not new. According to Slater, <em><strong>“…team sources indicate that the Warriors are comfortable putting their 14th spot up for grabs in a training camp competition among non-guaranteed candidates. It’s what they did with their two-way spots last October…”</strong></em></p>



<p>NBA rules require that all teams must have 14 players on their roster before the first game of the season. After two weeks, teams can reduce their roster to 12 or fewer players.</p>

<p>The <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/phoenix-suns"><strong>Phoenix Suns</strong></a> were one of the favorite teams that reached the 2023 Playoffs last season. They had one of the best rosters that ultimately gave the franchise a strong record at <strong>45-37 overall </strong>and the second spot within the Western Pacific Division.</p>



<p>However, they were eliminated early in the postseason in what was a painful loss against the current <strong>NBA Champions <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/denver-nuggets">Denver Nuggets</a> by 2-4</strong>. Despite the fact that the playoffs were a disappointment, it is likely that they will return stronger than before for the upcoming 2023-2024 season.</p>

<p>The only weak point the Phoenix Suns will have in the upcoming season will be the absence of a veteran like <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/chris-paul"><strong>Chris Paul</strong></a>, but they still have Kevin Durant to lead the franchise for at least another season.</p>



<h2>Who is the player that the Suns re-signed?</h2>



<p><strong>The player who recently signed a new contract with the Phoenix Suns was Josh Okogie. </strong>The team posted an image on Twitter where he is signing what would be his new contract with the franchise for $2,346,614 (spotrac estimate). He will earn $378,439 more than last season.</p>

<p>He has been playing with the Phoenix Suns since the 2022-2023 season where he played in 72 games and started just 26 for an average of<strong> 7.3 points per game, 33.5% threes and 0.5 blocks per game.</strong> <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/kevin-durant">Kevin Durant</a> </strong>could benefit from a player like him since Okogie is one of the best bench backups to keep the score up.</p>

<p><strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/james-harden">James Harden</a></strong> opted into his player option ahead of the 2023-24 <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/nba">NBA</a></strong> season, but only to be traded. Though many saw this coming, it’s still quite surprising considering he’s been at the <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/philadelphia-76ers">Philadelphia 76ers</a></strong> for less than two years.</p>



<p>However, <em>The Beard</em> has forged a reputation for <strong>forcing his way out of teams</strong> in recent years. He left the Houston Rockets to join the Brooklyn Nets in January 2021, but only a year later, he wanted out to play for the Sixers.</p>



<p>Either way, this time it doesn’t look so easy. While Ime Udoka reportedly doesn’t want him in Houston, the Los Angeles Clippers may not be able to get him either and the 76ers actually hope Harden <strong>changes his mind.</strong></p>



<h2>James Harden could stay in Philadelphia after all</h2>



<p>In an appearance on the “Dan Patrick Show,” NBA insider of ESPN Dave McMenamin suggested James Harden <strong>could end up staying</strong> at the Philadelphia 76ers for another season:</p>



<p><em>“I was speaking to a bunch of folks about this Sunday evening. <strong>The signals right now is that he will be back with the Philadelphia 76ers…as of right now, with no momentum appearing on a deal with the Los Angeles Clippers.</strong>”</em></p>

<p>With the Miami Heat focused on getting Damian Lillard, there don’t seem to be many suitors for the 33-year-old out there. Meanwhile, <strong>Joel Embiid, Patrick Beverley and everyone else</strong> at the Sixers seem to want him back.</p>

<p>Even though <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/damian-lillard">Damian Lillard</a></strong> made an effort to stay at the <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/portland-trail-blazers">Portland Trail Blazers</a></strong> for as long as he could, it looks like he’s had enough. At 32, the guard seems to have given up as he requested a trade ahead of the 2023-24 <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/nba">NBA</a></strong> season.</p>



<p>Dame, however, doesn’t want to go anywhere. According to reports, he is only interested in joining the Miami Heat, where everyone believes he will have <strong>a legitimate chance to succeed.</strong></p>



<p>Though many thought the Blazers would grant his wishes, it doesn’t work that way. Of course, the team is considering his desire to be traded to Miami, but <strong>the front office doesn’t look happy about it.</strong></p>



<h2>Blazers GM Joe Cronin subtly calls out Damian Lillard for limiting trade partners</h2>



<p><em><strong>“As a team, you always hope that you have more options. To have limited options like that, I wouldn’t call it frustrating but it prevents you from perhaps getting the best return,</strong>” </em>Blazers general manager Joe Cronin said, via Anthony Chiang of the <em>Miami Herald</em>.</p>

NBA News: Blazers GM takes a subtle shot at Damian Lillard - Bolavip US

<p>Even though the <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/nba">NBA</a></strong> rumor mill has been quieter as of late, many teams are still trying to improve their roster.

<p>The Mavs were one of the most disappointing teams in the league last season, having failed to make the playoffs even after landing Kyrie. On the other hand, Erik Spoelstra’s team <strong>defied the odds</strong> by reaching the NBA Finals.</p>



<p>Right now, Miami is trying to figure out how to get Damian Lillard from the Portland Trail Blazers. But in the meantime, Pat Riley may also <strong>keep an eye on other players.</strong></p>



<h2>Rumor: Heat could land Christian Wood</h2>



<p>According to Brett Siegel of <em>ClutchPoints</em>, the Miami Heat are still monitoring the situation of <strong>Christian Wood</strong>, who became a free agent after spending last season in Dallas. However, the Kings are also said to be interested in the big man:</p>



<p><em>“<strong>The Sacramento Kings and Heat are two other teams to keep an eye on regarding Wood still being a free agent</strong>. Miami will have open roster spots to fill in the event it can pull off a trade for Lillard, while the Kings could benefit from adding a scoring big man for depth in their frontcourt. <strong>Everything hinders on if Wood is willing to accept a minimum contract, though, as he is not expected to see any other offers at this point in the summer.”</strong></em></p>

<p>The <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/denver-nuggets">Denver Nuggets</a></strong> were unstoppable last season. Nikola Jokic led the franchise to its first ever <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/nba">NBA</a></strong> championship in great fashion, taking down the likes of the <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/los-angeles-lakers">Los Angeles Lakers</a></strong> or the Golden State Warriors en route to the title.</p>



<p>Once they beat the Miami Heat in the Finals, the Nuggets mocked the Lakers more than any other team. At some point they seemed to be a bit obsessed with the purple and gold, but some of their players <strong>had history with them</strong>.</p>



<p><strong>Kentavious Caldwell-Pope</strong> spent four seasons in LA from 2017 to 2021, when he was sent to Washington as part of the Russell Westbrook trade. Two years later, the guard admitted that moment hurt him.</p>



<h2>Kentavious Caldwell-Pope gets real on being traded by the Lakers in 2021</h2>



<p>“<em><strong>When (the Lakers trade) happened, I was a little hurt, no doubt about that</strong></em>,” Caldwell-Pope told Sam Amick of <em>The Athletic</em>. “<em><strong>But I had to move on</strong>. I thought I was gonna be there (with the Lakers) for a while, especially after the championship. But it didn’t go that way. I felt like at the end of the day, <strong>business is business</strong>.</em></p>



<p><em>“I got a call from my good friend Brad (Beal, the day before the trade went down), and he just asked me how I would feel about playing with him. I’d (known) him since we were 15, and that’s one thing we always talked about was playing with each other. And then the next morning, it happened.”</em></p>

<p>Not so long ago, there was absolutely no debate that <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/zion-williamson" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Zion Williamso</a>n</strong> should be the <strong>first-overall pick in the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/nba" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">NBA</a> Draft. </strong>The <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/new-orleans-pelicans" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">New Orleans Pelicans</a></strong> didn’t even blink to get him, and every single team in the league would’ve made that same decision.</p>



<p>But it’s never been a secret that Zion did come with a lot of baggage — no pun intended. There were major red flags and concerns about his weight and <strong>whether his body was going to be able to hold up in the long run.</strong></p>



<p>Thus far, it seems like those few doubters were right. He’s <strong>played in less than 50% of the games since entering the league</strong>, and there have been multiple worrisome reports about his work ethic. Notably, even he may have confirmed that, coming clean about his poor eating habits.</p>



<h2>Zion Williamson Admits He’s Struggled With His Diet</h2>



<p><strong><em>“Since this you, I will be real,”</em></strong> Zion told former All-Star Gilbert Arenas on his ‘Gil’s Arena’ Podcast. “<strong><em>There were times when I wasn’t, that sh*t’s hard man. I’m 20-22, have a lot of money, feel like all the money in the world, man.”</em></strong></p>



<p><em><strong>“It is hard. I am at that point now because of certain things and the wisdom around me.</strong> I don’t wanna say older, but the people around me with wisdom put me on game to certain things and go from there,</em>” the Duke product continued.</p>



<p>Zion has been in the news for his injuries and off-court controversies more often than for his stellar play. Hopefully,<strong> he’ll be able to get it together and stay healthy,</strong> as he’s just so gifted and evidently dominant when he’s on the floor.</p>

While they still have <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/stephen-curry">Stephen Curry</a></strong>, Klay Thompson and Draymond Green, there were plenty of moves within the organization regardless.</p>



<p>To begin with, longtime general manager Bob Myers left after 12 memorable years, and <strong>Mike Dunleavy Jr</strong>. immediately made big calls after being promoted, including the Chris Paul trade.</p>



<p>But the Dubs also lost many rotational players, something that forced them to make a few additions in the free agency. In fact, the new GM suggested the Warriors <strong>haven’t retired from the market yet</strong>.</p>



<h2>Mike Dunleavy says Warriors could land another big man</h2>



<p>“<em><strong>If there’s like five open spots, and we fill three or four of them, yeah, I think we’re going to add somebody with some size,”</strong></em> Dunleavy said, via Anthony Slater of <em>The Athletic</em>. “<em><strong>We gotta be careful with the way we play… just bringing in somebody who is tall, you gotta be skilled.
