The New York Knicks have made their second move in the offseason in an attempt to challenge and match up side by side with the NBA Champions Boston Celtics.
According to ESPN&rsquo;s Adrian Wojnarowski, the Knicks have reached an agreement with free agent forward OG Anunoby to resign with the team on a five-year, $212.5 million deal.
This ends the speculation that Anunoby might be leaving New York with the sides reaching a deal worth up to $40 million annually.&nbsp;
Anunoby was acquired by the Knicks last season in a mid-season trade with the Toronto Raptors in exchange for RJ Barrett. New York has played immensely better with Anunoby, massively improving their defense. In turn, the Knicks earned the no.2 seed in the East en route to an Eastern Conference semifinals appearance before falling to the Indiana Pacers in seven games.
Locking Anunoby up with a five-year deal will now put the Knicks into prime contention in the East for the foreseeable future, and this allows them to match up with the NBA-champion Boston Celtics. With the recent acquisition of Mikal Bridges, the Knicks now have two high-level two-way wings to pair up with star point guard Jalen Brunson.

The Villanova reunion is now complete.
According to ESPN&rsquo;s Adrian Wojnarowski, the New York Knicks are acquiring Nets forward Mikal Bridges from the Brooklyn Nets after the two New York basketball cities have agreed in principle on Tuesday night.
This move brings Bridges, a long-time Knicks target, to a team filled with former college teammates and close friends Jalen Brunson, Josh Hart, and Donte DiVincenzo. The quartet won an NCAA National Championship with Villanova in 2018.
In exchange for Bridges, the Knicks are sending out Bojan Bogdanovic (who they got in last season&rsquo;s trade deadline), four unprotected picks (2025, 2027, 2029, 2031), a 2025 protected Milwaukee first, a 2028 unprotected pick swap, and a 2025 second-round pick. New York will also receive a 2026 second-round pick from Brooklyn in this deal.
This is the first major move by the Knicks in the offseason as they await to resign free agents OG Anunoby and Isaiah Hartenstein. Anunoby and Hartenstein have been instrumental in New York&rsquo;s success in the playoffs and are set to receive their big paydays. However, with New York acquiring Bridges, resigning both guys appears to be a much trickier situation now.

The Cleveland Cavaliers are set to sign Golden State Warriors assistant coach Kenny Atkinson and make him the franchise&rsquo;s head coach, according to ESPN&rsquo;s Adrian Wojnarowski.
Atkinson has been an assistant for the Warriors for over three years, winning a title with the team in 2022. He notably agreed to coach the Charlotte Hornets in 2023 but ultimately chose to remain with Golden State. Now, Atkinson will take over a Cavaliers team fresh from an Eastern Conference semifinals appearance and again take on the head coaching challenge.&nbsp;
Atkinson was the head coach of the resurgent Brooklyn Nets team that made the playoffs in 2019, coaching D&rsquo;Angelo Russell into an all-star season with young studs Caris LeVert and Jarrett Allen. In Cleveland, he will be reunited again with Allen while bringing his touted player development prowess with the franchise to unlock the potential of young star big man Evan Mobley.
Atkinson was one of the final two head coaches that the Cavaliers screened. The other one was James Borrego of the New Orleans Hornets. The Cavaliers valued Atkinson&rsquo;s player development program and envisioned Mobley going through it, helping with the final hiring decision.
With the head coaching vacancy done and sealed, Cleveland will now turn their attention to closing a deal for star guard Donovan Mitchell, as the two sides negotiate a full max extension deal to keep the all-star in the city.

The Sacramento Kings have begun their offseason on a big note after getting Malik Monk&rsquo;s approval as he is set to re-sign with the team, according to ESPN&rsquo;s Adrian Wojnarowski.
Monk will reportedly resign with the Kings on a very friendly four-year, $78 million contract to remain with the franchise.
A 6th man of the year runner-up with Sacramento, Monk will remain with the team by being its microwave scorer off the bench and one of the most dynamic guards in the league and stay with longtime friend DeAaron Fox.
Rumors have been swirling about a lot of teams&rsquo; inquiries of Monk, and his market value was reportedly around the 90-100 million USD range, so this pay cut seems to be a little bit of a surprise.
The 26-year-old has resurrected his young career in Sacramento after tumultuous stints with Charlotte and the LA Lakers, and he has found a legit role and place within the team.

The first move of the NBA offseason is here.
On Friday afternoon, ESPN&rsquo;s Adrian Wojnarowski reported the Chicago Bulls are trading guard Alex Caruso to the Oklahoma City Thunder for guard Josh Giddey in a one-on-one swap.
A two-time All-NBA Defensive selection, Caruso now goes to a team that just recently fell short in the Western Conference semifinals in six games. As one of the most coveted role-players in the league, Caruso could fit right into the Thunder&rsquo;s schemes with their five-out offense and guys who can pass, dribble, and shoot. Aside from being a demon defensive player, Caruso also shot 41% from three last season, fitting perfectly the 3-and-D bill.
Caruso also provides the Thunder with another primary defender alongside Lu Dort and Cason Wallace, which practically makes the Thunder one of the best (if not the best) perimeter defenses in the league.
Reportedly, Chicago was offered by several teams before the trade deadline passed multiple picks for Caruso but the team was adamant to keep him for the Bulls to contend and make the playoffs. But with his impending contract extension this offseason, Chicago negotiated with OKC about a potential player of need in Giddey.
The 21-year-old from Australia who was the 6th pick in the 2021 NBA Draft was often benched in the Thunder&rsquo;s series against Dallas as he was exposed for his suspect shooting from outside the arc. Although the Thunder viewed him as one of the building blocks for the future, their sudden rise atop the West has them speeding up their rebuild and making this win-now move for a veteran in his prime that also fit the needs of the team.
Despite his stagnant shooting, Giddey is an impressive playmaker and at 6-foot-9 is one of the most intriguing PGs that could possibly pan out once he&rsquo;s given the reigns to a team and the ball in his hands.
This could very well work in Giddey&rsquo;s way in Chicago as the move likely implies that the Bulls are ready to move on from Lonzo Ball, who&rsquo;s been out for about three years now due to injury.
This move also signals Chicago breaking up their roster as stars Zach LaVine and DeMar DeRozan the ones to be moved next as the franchise enters into a full rebuild.

After missing out on their initial target, the Los Angeles Lakers finally land another whale they&rsquo;ve been eyeing for a while.
According to ESPN&rsquo;s Adrian Wojnarowski, the 17-time NBA World Champions will be hiring ESPN analyst and former NBA player JJ Redick as the franchise&rsquo;s next head coach.
Despite having no prior head coaching experience at any level in the NBA, Redick has obtained the green light from Lakers GM Rob Pelinka and owner Jeanie Buss to lead the franchise next season.
Redick has a podcast with a player he soon will be coaching LeBron James in &lsquo;Mind the Game&rsquo;, in which they talk about basketball concepts and strictly hoops and hoops alone. Redick and LeBron particularly dissect plays that teams run in the NBA and the ones they have encountered over the years they have played in the league. This distinct knowledge of the game and his relationship with James might have contributed to this hire.
To help Redick have a faster learning curve for his first-ever coaching job in the NBA, the Lakers are reportedly eyeing to surround him with an elite head coaching staff with a wealth of experience and veteran presence.
A 15-year NBA vet, Redick promises to be a strong developmental coach who can connect with younger players, and this figures out to be an enticing prospect for the Lakers as they plan to infuse their young talent in Austin Reaves, Rui Hachimura, Max Christie, and Jalen Hood-Schfino into more opportunities.

The Detroit Pistons have fired head coach Monty Williams after just one season, according to ESPN&rsquo;s Adrian Wojnarowski.
With just a season under Williams, the Pistons will absorb the remaining of his $65 million contract.
According to Wojnarowski, the decision apparently did not come from newly-hired Pistons president of basketball operations Trajan Langdon, but directly from the ownership headed by Tom Gores.
Williams was notably hired by the Pistons just over a year ago from the Phoenix Suns for a record $78 million, making him the highest-paid coach in the league. However, after yet another disappointing season for Detroit, the franchise pulled the trigger and will proceed in a new direction under Langdon.
Langdon and Detroit will now begin a coaching search along with teams like the Cleveland Cavaliers and Los Angeles Lakers for their head tactician come next season.
The Pistons finished with a league-worst record this season at just 14-68 under Williams. They hold the 5th pick in this year&rsquo;s draft and have some good young pieces Cade Cunningham, Jalen Duren, and Jaden Ivey to work on long-term.

The Indiana Pacers will sign veteran forward Pascal Siakam to a four-year, $189.5 million max contract after the two sides reached an agreement, according to ESPN&rsquo;s Adrian Wojnarowski.
After bringing in Siakam through a mid-season deal and reaching the Eastern Conference Finals, the Pacers will renew their partnership with the all-NBA forward and include him in their long-term yet win-now perspective.
The 30-year-old Siakam is set to sign the deal on July 6 after the league&rsquo;s free agency moratorium ends.
Siakam, a 2019 NBA Champion with the Toronto Raptors, has been a key figure in Indiana&rsquo;s improbable run to the Eastern Conference Finals. He averaged 21.3 points on 55% shooting and 39% 3-point shooting in 41 regular-season games with the team, being one of the primary options on offense.
Siakam upped his game up in the playoffs, often displaying his veteran savvy and championship experience in a relatively young Pacers team. He added a different dimension to Indiana&rsquo;s offense, with his relentless attacking to the rim, mid-range jumpers, and occasional three-point shooting elevating the Pacers&rsquo; attack.
Siakam&rsquo;s new contract will align with young superstar Tyrese Haliburton&rsquo;s contract, ending in 2028 and 2029 respectively.

The Boston Celtics became the winningest franchise in NBA history after capturing their 18th championship title by slaying the Dallas Mavericks at home in Game 5 of the 2024 NBA Finals on Day 42 of the 2024 NBA Playoffs on Monday night.
The Celtics led from start to finish behind a raucous Boston crowd who were ecstatic to win on their home floor. Jrue Holiday provided the early muscle and grit using his trademark defensive abilities and then sneaking in for the Celtics&rsquo; first three baskets.
From then on, it was all Celtics with each player chipping in with dunks, threes, and layups. Payton Pritchard provided perhaps the biggest play of the game that seemingly sucked the souls of the Mavericks when he hit a half-court buzzer-buzzer beating shot to put the Celtics up by 21 at the half.
After stretching the lead to as big as 26, the Mavs fought back for a bit but only cut the lead to as short as 18 points as the Celtics cruised to the victory.
It was a sweet ending for a lot of Celtics players, giving them vindication for all they&rsquo;ve been through over the years. Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown, who have been with the team the longest and have been the team&rsquo;s core pieces, now finally have a title to show for 7 years they&rsquo;ve been together. It&rsquo;s been a symbol of patience and dedication for both Tatum and Brown and Boston as a whole for sticking with the duo and giving them a chance to finally win a title.&nbsp;
For his efforts, Brown was named the Finals MVP.

2024 NBA Playoffs Day 44 Recap: Boston completes historic season, win 18th championship

The Dallas Mavericks stayed alive in the 2024 NBA Finals after blowing out the Boston Celtics and cut the series lead to 3-1 in Game 4 on Day 42 of the 2024 NBA Playoffs on Friday night.
The Mavericks started hot from the get-go and never looked back. Anchored by the shotmaking of superstars Luka Doncic and Kyrie Irving, Dallas built a 26 point lead at halftime and finished the game with a 38-point advantage.
After a disappointing Game 3 playing uninspired basketball, Doncic stepped it up big time especially on defense, moving and sliding his feet and had a more concerted effort on that end of the floor. It ignited several Mavs runs throughout the entire game and it set the tone for the rest of the game.
Boston just didn&rsquo;t have any answers against a surging Dallas offense and they will have another crack at closing the series out and win their 18th championship in Game 5 back in Boston.
Some takeaways from this game:
<ul>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1">Luka playing with more effort on defense is everything for the Mavs; everything starts and ends with him. Got to set better examples for his teammates</li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1">An unforgettable game for Boston, lost a chance to close this series out. Now onto Game 5 in a crucial one, or else risk of coming back to Dallas and giving the Mavs the momentum</li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1">After 4 games, it seems likely that Jaylen Brown could win Finals MVP over fellow Celtic superstar Jayson Tatum. Jrue Holiday also has a remote chance of winning the award with his strong performance</li>
</ul>
Game 5 will be on Monday June 17.

2024 NBA Playoffs Day 43 Recap: Dallas stays alive

The Boston Celtics dominated the Dallas Mavericks once again and built a commanding 3-0 series lead in Game 3 of the 2024 NBA Finals on Day 42 of the 2024 NBA Playoffs on Wednesday night.
Despite playing without starting center Kristaps Porzingis, the Celtics looked like the hungrier team and played like they were the ones down 0-2.&nbsp;
Boston created separation in the 3rd quarter with their quality shot making and signature drive and kick out offense, building a 21-point lead.
With perhaps seemingly out of hand, Dallas unleashed a run bridging the 3rd and 4th quarters to cut the lead down to just three. However, superstar Luka Doncic fouled out on a questionable blocking foul call on him against Jaylen Brown.
Without their superstar, Dallas was not able to get enough baskets with Kyrie Irving being the main target of Boston&rsquo;s defense.
Some takeaways from this game:
<ul>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1">Jrue Holiday and Derrick White&rsquo;s impact as two-way guards shine&nbsp;</li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1">Jayson Tatum finally snaps out of his Finals funk but would it be enough to win him the Finals MVP award remains to be seen</li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1">Luka getting exploited on defense and picked on by the Celtics is still the story of the series despite him putting up historic scoring numbers</li>
</ul>
Boston will try to close the series out and win their coveted 18th championship banner when the 2024 NBA Finals continues on Friday night in Game 4 still at the American Airlines Center in Dallas.

The Boston Celtics continued to frustrate the Dallas Mavericks and stifled them once again to pull through in Game 2 and create a 2-0 lead of the 2024 NBA Finals on Day 41 of the 2024 NBA Playoffs on Sunday night.
The Mavericks had a better start in this game with Luka Doncic scoring 23 in the first quarter however he could not sustain it as the Celtics did a much better job of tiring him out and hunting him on defense in the second half.
The game was close in the first quarter and second quarter with both teams trading baskets, however Boston pulled away in the 4th with timely baskets and big stops all over the place.
But perhaps there was no bigger stop than Derrick White&rsquo;s block on PJ Washington&rsquo;s breakaway dunk attempt with just under two minutes to go that effectively sealed the win for Boston.
Jaylen Brown put on the finishing touches on the other end by scoring on a left handed layup after blowing past by Washington and finishing over the outstretched arms of Maxi Kleber.
Some takeaways from this game include:
<ul>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1">Dallas making Jayson Tatum a playmaker and responding beautifully, dishing out a game-high 12 assists</li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1">NBA Champion Jrue Holiday. Making the right plays as always</li>
