The Sacramento Kings offered Mike Brown a three-year contract extension worth $21 million, sources tell Shams Charania of The Athletic.

The deal could increase to $27 million with bonuses.

Brown is believed to be seeking around $10 million per season.

The Los Angeles Lakers would prefer to avoid trading Austin Reaves this offseason, sources tell The Athletic. 

The Lakers previously refrained from including Reaves in trade talks in 2023 for Kyrie Irving and again in 2024 for Dejounte Murray.

Reaves is entering Year 2 of a four-year, $56 million contract signed with the Lakers last offseason. 

The Golden State Warriors are expected to express interest in trading for Jimmy Butler should he become available, according to Anthony Slater of The Athletic. 

Butler is interested in a two-year extension this offseason, which the Miami Heat are believed to be resistant to offering.

Brandon Ingram, however, is not a potential trade target that the Warriors would expected to be interested in pursuing. There has been considerable speculation that the New Orleans Pelicans will entertain trading Ingram as they balance out their roster and salary cap.

Klay Thompson appears likely to hit the open market as a free agent as he and the Golden State Warriors haven't had any notable movement on an extension, sources tell The Athletic. 

The Warriors would like to retain Thompson if the contract price is workable and after other aspects of their roster are clarified. 

Thompson would like to win and isn't likely to consider a larger offer if it is from a rebuilding team.

Thompson could command a shorter term deal at a large contract amount given his age and injury history.

While it has been reported in a number of places that J.J. Redick is the most likely candidate to become head coach of the Los Angeles Lakers, ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski reports they are "nowhere close" to a decision.

Some reports have suggested that ESPN doesn't want Redick announced as the next head coach of the Lakers until after The Finals due to his duties broadcasting the series. 

The Lakers hosted James Borrego for a second interview this week and plan to have follow-ups with several other candidates.

Chris Quinn, Micah Nori, Sean Sweeney and David Adelman are among the other candidates publicly linked to the job.

The Lakers parted ways with Darvin Ham this offseason.

James Borrego had a second interview with the Los Angeles Lakers on Wednesday.

Borrego is also a candidate for the Cleveland Cavaliers' head coaching vacancy.

Borrego has a strong reputation for player development including serving as an assistant coach with the San Antonio Spurs for a decade. Borrego also has head coaching experience with the Charlotte Hornets.

Borrego is currently an assistant coach with the New Orleans Pelicans. 

The Cleveland Cavaliers are beginning their interview process for head coach with Kenny Atkinson and James Borrego, who are the top two candidates on their list.

Atkinson and Borrego are both top assistant coaches with previous head coaching experience.

Atkinson was previously a head coach with the Brooklyn Nets and is currently an assistant coach with the Golden State Warriors. 

Borrego is also a serious candidate for the Los Angeles Lakers' head coaching vacancy. Borrego was previously head coach of the Charlotte Hornets and now is an assistant with the New Orleans Pelicans.

The Cavaliers plan on interviewing additional candidates beyond Atkinson and Borrego. 

Jimmy Butler has at least three teams willing to trade for him this offseason with the intent of then signing him to a max-level extension, sources tell Anthony Chiang of the Miami Herald. 

Keith Pompey of the Philadelphia Inquirer reported earlier this week that the Sixers have interest in trading for and then extending Butler.

The two-year max extension that Butler and his camp will push for this offseason includes salaries of $54.3 million for the 25-26 season and $58.6 million for 26-27.

Butler would be eligible to sign the same two-year, $113 million extension that he can sign with the Heat with any team he’s traded to because his Bird Rights carry over in a trade, but that deal could not be agreed upon for six months.

Butler would ideally like to finish his career with the Heat, but he also is seeking the extension. 

The Los Angeles Clippers are "determined" to retain Paul George and James Harden in free agency, reports ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski.

George will potentially be the top available free agent this offseason and is expected to receive interest from the likes of the Philadelphia 76ers and Orlando Magic.

Harden was acquired by the Clippers last October and will have a more limited market from rival teams.

The Clippers previously signed Kawhi Leonard to a three-year, $152.4 million extension.

Caron Butler has signed a four-year deal to remain as an assistant coach under Erik Spoelstra with the Miami Heat.

Butler has spent the past four seasons as an assistant coach with the Heat.
