When I woke up, I heard that the Clippers General Manager entered the top five of the best executives, Antetokounmpo s whereabouts and other information

The NBA has sent many important messages.

1. Clippers General Manager Frank entered the top five executives of the year

Today, the NBA officially announced that the Thunder executives and general manager Sam Presti was elected the 2024-25 executives of the year. Clippers general manager Frank ranked fifth.

Presti's masterpiece was signing Caruso and Haltenstein last year's offseason to help the Thunder achieve a league-best record of 68 wins and 14 losses in the regular season.

Clippers general manager Frank lets George go last offseason. In February this year, he successfully got rid of Tucker's big contract, making the team's salary lower than the luxury tax line.

The young card was injured at the beginning of this season. Under the leadership of Harden, the "Civilian" Clippers had a good record and finally ranked fifth in the Western Conference with 50 wins and 32 losses. Although he was eliminated by the Nuggets in the first round of the playoffs, except for the G7, other games are remarkable.

Regarding the Clippers' planning for next season, Frank recently said:

(1) head coach Tyron Lue performed very well.

(2) The first priority is to discuss their contract player options with Harden and Batum and discuss renewal with Powell.

(3) Strengthen the inside, organize the defenders and shooters through the free agent market.

(4) Boss Ballmer is not short of money, and the Clippers will never make a bad move.

2. Mickey Johnson serves as Spurs head coach

Last night, former Spurs head coach Popovich personally announced at a press conference that Mickey Johnson takes over as Spurs head coach.

Mickey Johnson, born in August 1952. He served as an assistant coach for the Spurs in November 2020. In November 2024, he replaced the sick Popovich as interim head coach of the Spurs.

Regarding being the head coach of the Spurs, Johnson said: "I am very honored. It is a supreme honor to be able to work side by side with these people."

Yesterday, Popovich, who was unable to teach anymore due to his physical condition, retired from his coaching position and ended his 33-year glorious coaching career.

3. Celtics released the injury report

Today, the Celtics officially announced the team's injury list, and Christaps Porzingis is likely to play; Sam Hauser suffered a sprain of his right ankle and is likely to play.

In yesterday's game against the Knicks, Porzingis only played 13 minutes to withdraw from the game due to non-COVID-19 disease. In this game, Porzingis scored 0 points, 4 rebounds and 1 assist, and the team lost to the Knicks.

The semi-final G2 of the Celtics and the Knicks will start at 7 a.m. tomorrow.

4. Antetokounmpo wants to go to big cities

According to reporters, Antetokounmpo wants to go to big cities like Los Angeles, New York, Miami and Chicago in the offseason. In 2023, Antetokounmpo renewed a three-year, $186 million contract with the Bucks.

In the past three seasons, the Bucks, who are determined to win the championship, have been eliminated in the first round of the playoffs, which has made Antetokounmpo disheartened, so it is rumored that he will leave the Bucks this summer.

In the playoffs this season, Antetokounmpo averaged 33 points, 15.4 rebounds and 6.6 assists per game. Among them, they ranked first in the league in scoring and rebounding.
