On June 19, the NBA ushered in another crazy night, and a large deal of $10 billion was reached. The Lakers boss Bass family sold most of the shares, including Jenny Bass who will continue to serve as the team's manager after the team's sale; the Rockets officially announced the signing of Adams, and the three-year, $39 million was officially reached; the Pacers core Haliburton's injury was updated and he will do his best to participate in the G6 game.

According to famous reporter Shams, the Bass family is about to reach an agreement with Mark Walter, CEO and chairman of TWG Global, to sell most of the Lakers' equity at a valuation of around $10 billion, which will also set the highest transaction price record for professional sports teams in the world, surpassing the previous Celtics' $6.1 billion. However, the Bass family did not withdraw from the Lakers' management, and Jenny will continue to serve as the manager.

The news is quite surprising. Unexpectedly, the Lakers' equity has also changed. As one of the most successful teams in the NBA, it won the second most NBA teams in 17 championships, and its value is naturally very high. The new boss of the Lakers was a small shareholder of the team in 2021 and has now invested heavily to become a major shareholder. According to the Lakers' legendary Magician, the new boss is willing to invest everything to win, which is also good news for the Lakers. The Rockets officially announced that the team officially renewed the contract for center Adams, and the two sides signed a three-year, $39 million contract renewal contract, which is completely guaranteed and there are no options. The Rockets official also wrote: "Since December last year, Adams has ranked second in the team's positive and negative values ​​(+189). He averages 7.5 offensive rebounds per 36 minutes of playing time, which is the highest record for players who have played 40 games and above in a single season."

Halliburton suffered a calf strain in the finals G5, which also put him in trouble. Now he himself also revealed the latest situation. In the interview, he said: "I must understand the risk of injury and consult related issues, but I am a competitor, I want to play, and I will do my best to play." At the same time, coach Carlisle also revealed that the team is ready for both hands, which means Halliburton may be absent in the life and death battle in the G6.
