NBA Dynamic Express: Knicks fire Thibodeau, Suns seek Durant trade, and Lakers target three inside players
4:00am, 5 June 2025【Basketball】
On June 4, as the Finals were about to begin, the NBA off-court dynamics were also attracting attention. According to authoritative reports, the Knicks, Suns and Lakers have all made important moves:
📢 Knicks officially announced: coach Thibodeau was dismissed
famous reporter Shams Charania confirmed that the New York Knicks have fired head coach Tom Thibodeau.
Core facts:
Thibodeau coached the Knicks for 5 seasons and led the team to the playoffs 4 times.
Total record: 226 wins and 174 losses; playoff record: 24 wins and 23 losses.
Leading the team this season has returned to the Eastern Conference Finals after 25 years.
Second updates: The team management said that the goal is to compete for the championship, and the next focus is to find a new head coach. The sacking decision was made directly by the boss, and there were previous reports that management and core player Brunson expressed satisfaction with Thibodeau. It is generally believed that Thibodeau's high-intensity use of the main players' rotation strategy (often using 7-8 players rotation) and potential locker room management factors may be one of the reasons why management makes this decision.
📉 The Sun is actively seeking Durant transactions
Multiple news shows that Kevin Durant's future in Phoenix Sun is full of uncertainty.
Core facts:
Even if the Suns have confirmed the new head coach (Budenholzer), Durant's chances of staying in the team are still low.
The Suns are negotiating trades with several teams, including the Rockets.
The Suns reportedly lowered the trading asking price in negotiations, with one of the main goals being to exchange for a future first-round draft pick from the Rockets.
State status assessment: The Sun's move shows that they are actively seeking trading options. While Durant can still attract interest from multiple teams, the difficulty of the Suns expecting very generous returns through trades (such as multiple high picks or young stars) is increasing.
🎯 Lakers' recruitment target: focus on the three insiders
Los Angeles Lakers' offseason reinforcement focus clearly points to the inside.
Core facts:
The three main inside signing targets currently locked by the Lakers are: Nick Clarkston of the Nets, Daniel Gafford of the Mavericks, and Clint Capela of the Hawks.
The Lakers have started contact with the Nets about Clarkston.
Sources revealed that Clarkston is open to joining the Lakers.
Potential impact: If the Lakers can successfully introduce one of the target players, it will help improve the team's interior depth and defensive ability and strengthen the current relatively weak links. The final result depends on the progress of subsequent negotiations.
