The Brooklyn Nets are coming off a 2024-25 NBA season in which they experienced a lot of losing on their way to the first offseason of their rebuild in which they'll be able to mold their team for the future. One of the players who benefitted from the rebuild, center Drew Timme, continues to receive rewards for his performance during the season that he had in Long Island.

The NBA announced on Thursday that Timme made the All-NBA G League Second Team after being one of the best players in the G League for the Long Island Nets, Brooklyn's G League afiliate. Timme joins the second team along with Mason Jones of the Stockton Kings, Elijah Harkless of the Salt Lake City Stars, Bryce McGowens of the Rip City Remix, and Moses Brown of the Westchester Knicks.
Timme played 29 games in Long Island during the season and he averaged 23.9 points, 10.2 rebounds, and 4.1 assists per game while shooting 57.4% from the field and 38.5% from three-point range. Timme played so well during his stint in the G League that he not only won NBA G League Player Of The Week, but he also parlayed that into a multi-year contract with the Nets shortly afterwards.
Since coming to Brooklyn, Timme assumed a role as one of the backup centers on the team behind starter Nic Claxton and usual backup Day'Ron Sharpe. However, due to a combination of a right knee injury to Sharpe and Brooklyn giving Claxton rest to see what Timme looked like at the next level, the former Gonzaga Bulldog was able to play 28.2 minutes per game down the stretch of the season.
Timme, 24, averaged 12.1 points, 7.2 rebounds, and 2.2 assists per game while shooting 44.1% from the floor and 25.7% from deep. Timme has a team option for next season worth $1.9 million and whether the Nets decide to accept that option will depend on what the team is able to accomplish in the offseason along with if they see a future with Timme. Either way, Timme can walk away from the 2024-25 season having earned plenty of accolades for his play.

Pacers vs. Thunder odds, predictions: NBA Finals Game 2 picks, best bets
New York Post may be compensated and/or receive an affiliate commission if you click or buy through our links. Featured pricing is subject to change. As we often hear, the NBA playoffs are about adjustments within a series. Thus, sports bettors must learn to anticipate them and understand how they will impact the betting market and potentially offer value. The Pacers delivered yet another improbable comeback to steal home-court advantage in the NBA Finals. The Thunder are now 11-point home favorites in Game 2 with an Over/Under total of 228.5. I expect Oklahoma City coach Mark Daigneault to change his starting lineup and revert to the one he used all postseason, after he mysteriously benched center Isaiah Hartenstein in favor of Cason Wallace. In fact, the double-big lineup of Hartenstein and Chet Holmgren didn't log a single minute together, after each had started every game this postseason. The move looked wise in the first half, forcing 19 turnovers. Daigneault afterward said the smaller Wallace provided more defensive flexibility against guards Tyrese Haliburton and Andrew Nembhard. Though that logic makes sense, it also allowed a poor rebounding Pacers team to dominate the glass with a 56-39 edge. Indiana also finished with 13 offensive boards, which is their most this postseason. For context, the Pacers ranked third worst in rebounds per game and rebounding percentage throughout the regular season. The glass was supposed to be an Indiana weakness and the relatively inexperienced Daigneault unnecessarily and inexplicably made it an advantage. Isaiah Hartenstein grabs a rebound during the Thunder's Game 1 loss to the Pacers on June 5, 2025. Getty Images I think the coach realizes the mistake and starts Hartenstein. Even if that adjustment does not occur, he still figures to play him more than the 17 minutes he logged in Game 1. Even still, Hartenstein managed to grab nine rebounds in that limited play. Betting on the NBA? So any way you slice it, Hartenstein's rebounds prop of 6.5 feels too low. OKC needs his presence, especially because Holmgren seems allergic to rebounds lately. The 7-footer has gone under his rebound prop in six straight games. I am 46-40-1 ATS in this Post sports section and my next play is Hartenstein Over 6.5 rebounds in Game 2.

Hall of Famer Don Nelson selected as this year's winner of Chuck Daly Lifetime Achievement Award
OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) — Don Nelson has been invited to the NBA Finals countless times in recent years, always declining those opportunities. This time, his peers found a way to ensure he couldn't say no. Nelson — a Basketball Hall of Famer and three-time NBA coach of the year — was announced Sunday as this year's recipient of the Chuck Daly Lifetime Achievement Award, presented by the National Basketball Coaches Association. It will be formally given out Sunday night, about an hour before Game 2 of the NBA Finals between the Indiana Pacers and Oklahoma City Thunder. 'History has already reflected Don Nelson's staggering contributions as a cutting-edge innovator and visionary of the NBA game,' said Pacers coach and NBCA President Rick Carlisle. 'Back in the '80s and '90s, he made teams adjust to historic pace, liberal 3-point shooting, inverted offense, and disruptive defensive schemes. All this while establishing himself as one of the most compelling personalities in all of professional sports.' Nelson, 85, retired in 2010 as the NBA's all-time coaching wins leader with 1,335, just ahead of Lenny Wilkens' 1,332. Nelson kept that top spot for nearly 12 years before now-retired San Antonio coach Gregg Popovich passed him in March 2022. Nelson is one of only two coaches in NBA history to have at least 250 wins with three different franchises. He got to that mark with Milwaukee, Dallas and Golden State, and also coached New York briefly in his career. Nelson and Daly were close friends. They went head-to-head 41 times as coaches: Nelson's teams went 21-20 in those games. 'Chuck was an absolute genius in all facets of the game and life,' Nelson said. 'I'm glad I had the opportunity to coach against him, learn from him, and benefit from his knowledge. To say that I'm deeply touched to receive an award that bears his name would be an understatement. This is special.' Nelson took teams to the playoffs 18 times as a coach and won five championships as a player with the Boston Celtics. He started coaching in 1976 and what became known as 'Nellie Ball' soon created a buzz with him being generally credited for introducing what is now known as the point forward. His up-tempo offensive ways were probably best on display with Golden State in the 'Run TMC' era featuring Tim Hardaway, Mitch Richmond and Chris Mullin. The award is in Daly's memory and celebrates his 'integrity, competitive excellence, and tireless promotion of NBA basketball.' Prior recipients are Rudy Tomjanovich (2024), Rick Adelman (2023), Mike Fratello (2022), Larry Brown (2021), Del Harris (2020), Frank Layden (2019), Doug Moe (2018), Al Attles and Hubie Brown (2017), K.C. Jones and Jerry Sloan (2016), Dick Motta (2015), Bernie Bickerstaff (2014), Bill Fitch (2013), Pat Riley (2012), Lenny Wilkens (2011), Jack Ramsay and Tex Winter (2010) and Tommy Heinsohn (2009). ___ AP NBA:

Russell Westbrook Could Receive Historic Offer From EuroLeague Team
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. This NBA offseason is shaping up to be one of the most exciting yet — potentially packed with record-breaking action and plenty of movement. For the seventh straight season, the league will see a different champion crowned, marking the longest such streak in NBA history. More NBA news: Hall of Famer Don Nelson to Wear Luka Doncic Shoes in Protest of Mavericks Trade That kind of parity has given nearly every team a sense of hope heading into next season. With belief spreading across the league, expect a flurry of blockbuster moves and major roster shakeups as teams look to capitalize on what feels like a wide-open championship window. NBA commissioner Adam Silver is certainly getting what he wants, and while many are opposed to it, a great deal can change in the coming months. Nonetheless, a ton of players will be on the move, and one name that could fall under that category is former NBA MVP Russell Westbrook. Not only will NBA teams have their eye on Westbrook, but so will EuroLeague powerhouse Hapoel Tel Aviv. According to European basketball reporter, Nemanja Zoric, Hapoel Tel Aviv is set to make Westbrook an offer "never before seen in European basketball."

Russell Westbrook #4 of the Denver Nuggets reacts after dunking the ball against the LA Clippers during the fourth quarter in Game Seven of the Western Conference First Round NBA Playoffs at Ball Arena on May 03, 2025 in Denver, Colorado. More Photo byEuroCup Champions Hapoel Tel Aviv are expected to make Russell Westbrook an offer 'never before seen in European basketball' 👀 (via @zoric_nemanja) — Legion Hoops (@LegionHoops) June 4, 2025 Fresh off capturing the EuroCup title, the Israeli club is aiming high as it gears up for its first appearance in Europe's top-tier competition — and they've reportedly set their sights on the 2017 NBA MVP. While the chances of Westbrook leaving the NBA remain slim, Hapoel Tel Aviv could try to change the conversation by making a serious push. Westbrook holds a $3.4 million player option for next season, and after putting together a solid campaign, there's a chance he bets on himself and tests the market. The nine-time All-Star is coming off a solid season, as he averaged 13.3 points per game, 4.9 rebounds, 6.1 assists, and 1.4 steals per game while shooting 44.9 percent from the field and 32.3 percent from three in 75 games in his first season with the Denver Nuggets. Westbrook is clearly not the same player he was with the Oklahoma City Thunder; nevertheless, he does the little things at times that contribute to winning basketball. We saw that last season with the Nuggets at times, and we'll see if another team gives him a fair shot. The former UCLA product has just completed his 17th season in the league, having played in 1,237 games. Westbrook is undoubtedly on his way to Springfield when all is said and done.
