NBA offseason continues. With the announcement of the new season schedule, the outside world has begun to refocus on each team. After all, some teams have a very difficult schedule for the new season. Many teams have also begun a new round of lineup adjustments, including the Warriors. In addition, a two-for-one deal was reached earlier, and Reeves was also believed by the outside world to stay in the Lakers. Let's take a look at the specific situation together. NBA: The Heat have reached 2 for 1! The Warriors restart discussions, and Reeves is expected to stay in the Lakers. The Heat are one of the teams that have been stuck in trading rumors for a long time this offseason. Wiggins was once believed to be able to be traded by the outside world, but there was no progress in the future. However, they quietly completed a two-for-one transaction, which was something that both parties needed. Sources from Shams reported that the Miami Heat have traded Haywood Highsmith and a 2032 second round pick to the Brooklyn Nets for a protected 2026 second round pick (this draft pick is protected 31-55).

Lastmith averaged 6.5 points, 3.4 rebounds, 1.5 assists and 0.9 steals last season. His salary for the 2025-26 season is $5.62 million, which creates a deal special for the Heat worth $5.6 million, and there is also a future second-round pick to use (2027). At the same time, the Heat's current total salary is $4 million lower than the luxury tax and $9.5 million lower than the first tycoon line. In this way, the Heat can currently use a full middle class worth $14.1 million. Currently, the Heat lineup has 11 guarantee contracts and 2 partial guarantee contracts (Rozier + Lasson). The Heat expect other operations to come next. In fact, what kind of lineup will be built in the end depends on their next adjustments.

For the Nets, this operation they aim to further fill their space. The Nets still have 22 million in salary space, and they need to fill the $139,182 million poverty line by October 21. The Nets' total salary is about 134 million. They will also make further adjustments in the future. The issues between the Warriors and Kumingga have been in a stalemate for a long time, and the discussions between the two sides were interrupted at one point, but earlier, according to the disclosures of Warriors reporter Slater on the show, the Warriors and Kumingga team restarted negotiations in the past week, and the two sides are still discussing the contract plan. Kumingga still hopes to reach a contract where he is more like the cornerstone of the team than simply trading chips.

If there is no way to get such a contract, he is more inclined to sign a qualification offer of 7.9 million instead of a two-year contract of 45 million with team options, which means they are still constantly putting pressure on the Warriors' management. Who will make concessions in the end will be related to the situation of the two teams. After all, Kumingga's problem has always restricted the Warriors' subsequent reinforcement and adjustments. Although several players have been exposed to reaching oral agreements, if they do not sign the contract, everything will still be variables. It is still unknown whether other players are willing to wait. The last one is about the Lakers; the schedule of the Lakers in the new season is also quite difficult. For them, the offseason lineup has been supplemented and adjusted, and their strength has improved compared to last season. But there are still uncertain factors, such as James' stay and departure and Reeves' future contract renewal.

Earlier, the Lakers' Record talked about Reeves, saying that league insiders generally expect Reeves to receive a contract of more than $30 million, both for the Lakers and other teams, but the Record Buha believes that the Lakers will sign him in the end. He is expected to sign a multi-year contract extension, which is a wise move for the Lakers management. He is eager to play for the Lakers for life. According to the labor-management agreement, Rivers can renew a contract of $89.2 million for four years, and next year, it can renew a contract of $90 million for four years. What kind of contract do you think is more appropriate if the Lakers want to keep Reeves?
