Golden State inquires about LeBron trade with Lakers
Can we see Stephen Curry and LeBron James (39) as a team in the regular season, not the All-Star Game? We could have seen that this season.
"ESPN" quoted a source as saying on the night of the 14th that the Golden State Warriors inquired about recruiting LeBron to trade with the LA Lakers.
According to the media, Golden State was serious about recruiting LeBron. The owner of the team, Joe Lakeob, even contacted the owner of the Gini Bus Lakers.
However, the trade failed in the end. Not only the Lakers but also LeBron himself were interested in the trade.
LeBron has been showing consistent productivity even at an age of uncertainty. He played in 49 games and averaged 34.9 minutes this season, recording 24.8 points, 7.2 rebounds, and 7.8 assists.
Despite his stellar performance, the Lakers are ranked ninth in the Western Conference with 29 wins and 26 losses. At this rate, they have to play the seed game to advance to the playoffs.
According to ESPN, owner Raycob asked Bus whether LeBron's recent public expression of despair about the team could lead to trade discussions.
Bus contacted LeBron's agent Rich Paul, saying he needed to hear an answer about LeBron's current state of mind, even though he drew a line saying he had no intention of trading LeBron.
In response, Paul contacted Raycob and Warriors general manager Mike Dunleavy Jr. the day before the deadline, and LeBron conveyed that he had no intention of going to another team.
Dunleavy contacted Lakers general manager Rob Pelinka to ask for a doctor once again, and Pelinka also answered, "The Lakers want to protect LeBron."
Then, this time, Draymond Green, a Golden State forward and another customer of Paul, contacted Paul, expressing that he wanted to change James' mind.
ESPN explained that it was Green, who led Kevin Durant's trip to Golden State earlier, but it was not successful this time. 스포츠토토
Another team showed interest in LeBron. Earlier, Philadelphia 76ers President Darryl Morey contacted Pelinka directly to inquire about LeBron's possible transfer, but the team answered that it was possible if Joel Embiid was given away. He was actually willing to reject the offer.
Discussions on the trade fell through, but Golden State could try to recruit LeBron again next offseason. LeBron has a player option for the 2024-25 season (51.4 million dollars). ESPN, however, said LeBron is only focusing on returning to the Lakers next season.
After the match against West Ham, Son Heung-min
Son started at a 15th round match of the English Premier League (EPL) against West Ham for the 2023-2024 season held at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in London on Sunday afternoon (local time). He collided with West Ham defender Cho U-pal in the 38th minute of the second half when the team was losing 1-2. Son was caught with the ball on his back. Then the right-hand man got into a physical fight under pressure. Meanwhile, his hip and knee parts collided. Son defended the ball and gave up a pass. Then he collapsed on the spot.
Tottenham manager Enzi Postecoglou checked Son's condition. Son said he could play, but it did not look easy. Postecoglou replaced Son at 42 minutes in the second half. Son limped off even after being pulled back to the bench. After the match, he looked slightly better and thanked his fans on the pitch. Tottenham lost 1-2.
After the match, he met Son in the mixed zone. He was still limping a little. He asked about his physical condition. "It hurt a little bit even after the game was over, so I took painkillers," Son said. "I have to see what happens tomorrow. I hope it's not a serious situation." 토토
Despite Persuasion, he Expressed his Gratitude
A KT Wiz official told OSEN on the 7th, "Kim Ki-tae, the second-tier coach, recently expressed his gratitude to the club."
KT appointed Kim Ki-tae as the coach of the Futures Team on Oct. 14 last year, who led the KIA Tigers to the unified championship in 2017 in order to strengthen depth through systematic development. "Kim Ki-tae has built his career throughout the Futures Team and the first division, and he is a leader whose leadership has been proven," KT's general manager Na Do-hyun said at the time, expecting a virtuous cycle of development. "I judged him to be the right person to strengthen development including discovery of promising players."
After taking a break due to health problems, Kim returned to the team in mid-May and paid special attention to strengthening the first-tier team's depth. He gave close guidance to players along with the Futures Team's chief coach Seo Yong-bin, and spent much of his time unleashing potential of unfinished prospects. As a result, unknown players including Ahn Chi-young, Kang Hyun-woo, Jung Joon-young, Son Dong-hyun, Lee Sang-dong and Lee Sun-woo showed off their skills after calling up the first-tier team, contributing to the team's leap to the second place. Son Dong-hyun and Lee Sang-dong are also the best hit products of the year discovered by KT.
All the players who revolted against unknown names cited life in Iksan as the driving force for their growth. Ahn Chi-young said, "The Futures Team has a good atmosphere. They emphasize their training in a bright atmosphere. They coach me for what I need in my self-government, and I feel that I have improved a lot," while rookie Jung Joon-young said, "Kim Ki-tae and coaches guide me with passion. When I was in the Futures League, he taught me a lot on how to maximize my strengths."
In the meantime, Kim expressed his gratitude to the KT club after the 2023 season. What is the story? "The coach said he needed to recharge himself. He said he had been running nonstop until now and wanted to have personal time," KT's general manager Na Do-hyun said in a telephone interview with OSEN on the 7th. "The club continued to persuade me to stay until the end of November, but the coach finally made that decision." 토토사이트
Manager Kim, who was well-known as a nurturing expert in the KBO League, and he actually performed in the second division of the 2023 season, so the expression of his resignation was even more regrettable. General manager Na said, "I'm so sorry to hear that the coach is leaving. I can't help it because the coach went because he thought of his personal recharge."
After accepting Kim's offer, KT immediately started selecting the head of its Futures team. With Kim Tae-han, the first-tier pitching coach, mentioned as a strong candidate, insiders, rather than outsiders, are expected to take the helm.
"I think there's someone that Lee Kang-chul is thinking about. It's more likely to change internal positions than to recruit from outside," Na said. "If the coach finishes his thoughts and finally decides on personnel appointments, he will officially announce the second-tier coach at that time."

NBA Golden State vanquishes Atlanta at 'Remembrance of Coach Milojevic'
The Golden State Warriors of the National Basketball Association (NBA) dedicated their victory to coach Dejan Milojevic, who died after beating the Atlanta Hawks.
Golden State won 134-112 against Atlanta in the 2023-24 NBA regular league home game at Chase Center in San Francisco, California, on the 25th.
After losing two consecutive games, Golden State ranked 12th in the Western Conference with 19 wins and 22 losses. On the other hand, Atlanta, which lost three games in a row, ranked 10th in the Eastern Conference with 18 wins and 26 losses.
This is the first game since coach Milojevic died of a heart attack on the 18th. Earlier, both the Utah Jazz match on the 18th and the Dallas Mavericks match on the 20th were postponed.
Golden State invited coach Milojevic's family to the home game and held an event to commemorate him.
They wore black t-shirts with "DM" named after Milojevic and "BRATE" for Serbian for brother. They also hung one t-shirt on a bench and offered condolences to Milojevic.
Golden State, who came out on the court with a sluggish determination, showed a fierce backside to overwhelm Atlanta.
Golden State, which led 69-68 until the first half, widened the gap little by little in the third quarter while playing a close game with Atlanta.
Stephen Curry scored both free throws to take the lead when the score was 82-82. Curry then piled up the score with two-pointers and free throws, and Clay Tamson also added a run to lead the game 101-92. 토토사이트
In the fourth quarter, Jonathan Kuminga broke Atlanta's will to chase with a goal following a drastic breakthrough.
With about 3 minutes left, Golden State, which made a 130-110 and 20 points difference, was able to take out key players such as Curry, Kuminga, Brandin Poseymski and Andrew Wiggins.
Golden State won the game with seven players, including Curry (25 points and eight assists), Kuminga (25 points and nine rebounds), and Tamson (24 points).
