Following the mind-boggling transaction prior to the Feb. 6. NBA trade deadline that sent Luka Dončić to the Los Angeles Lakers, a growing sense of general uncertainty has reverberated throughout the rest of the league. With the Dončić deal officially opening the floodgates to trades that were previously thought to be unimaginable, the Boston Celtics could be the next storied NBA franchise to complete a seismic deal to acquire a potential building block for the team’s future. The team could do so by making an aggressive trade pursuit for an All-NBA point guard and one of the most electrifying players…
The Boston Celtics are regrouping to prepare for their final 27 games in the 2024-25 season. This stretch of games will be crucial as the Celtics could make a run at the No. 1 seed in the East and overtake the Cleveland Cavaliers. Even if they don’t secure the No. 1 seed, the Celtics have all the tools to get the job done when it matters most. Boston was not a big buyer at the trade deadline, and they didn’t need to be. However, they slightly upgraded their frontcourt, adding forward Torrey Craig. Craig is the newest Celtics forward, and…
Just a week after shockingly landing Luka Doncic from the Dallas Mavericks, the Los Angeles Lakers made another deal ahead of the trade deadline. To give their new star a lob threat to play with, the Lakers acquired Mark Williams from the Charlotte Hornets in exchange for Dalton Knecht and Cam Reddish. Williams, despite his injuries, is a talented big man whose size and play-style would complement Doncic well. However, due to problems with his physical, the Lakers rescinded the trade. “Mark Williams’ physical with the Lakers showed multiple issues and the team failed him on the exam, sources tell…
The postponed Serie A match between Bologna and Milan will be played at a slightly later date as a result of the Rossoneri and their exit from the Champions League at the hands of Feyenoord on Tuesday night. The Bologna-Milan match had originally been scheduled to take place on October 26, but was postponed at the last minute due to adverse weather conditions in the Emilia-Romagna region. There had been severe flooding in and around the city in the build-up to the game. Then, on Tuesday night, a 10-man Milan were held to a 1-1 draw at home by Feyenoord,…
In what is becoming a repetitive theme, the AC Milan management met with Sergio Conceicao and the players this morning to digest another damaging defeat. Milan’s already difficult season suffered yet another setback last night as they crashed out of the Champions League, losing 2-1 to Feyenoord on aggregate. The game was marred by Theo Hernandez’s red card early in the second half, which totally changed the complexion of the tie and allowed the Dutch side to grow in belief. According to what is being reported by MilanNews, the management are at Milanello this morning to analyse the elimination in…
AC Milan exited the Champions League in mid-February after losing to Feyenoord on aggregate, and a lot of fingers are pointed at Theo Hernandez. La Gazzetta dello Sport (seen below) talk about a ‘gallery or errors’ and ‘seven minutes without logic’ for Theo, which is the symbol of a reckless season. He got his first yellow card on 44 minutes and the second on 51, putting his team in a difficult situation they were unable to prevail from. Hernandez’s first yellow card meant would have missed the first leg of the possible round of 16 tie anyway. When the referee…
AC Milan are lining up a move for Samuele Ricci in view of the summer transfer window but they face strong competition, a report claims. According to Tuttosport, there will be a rather interesting situation on Saturday at the Stadio Olimpico Grande Torino as Ricci will return from suspension to be at the disposal of head coach Paolo Vanoli and he will face off against the team that hope to sign him in a few months. Ricci renewed his contract with Torino back on January 2, signing a new deal until 2028 with a pay rise as recognition from his…
The Detroit Lions could lose a key piece of their starting offensive line this offseason, as right guard Kevin Zeitler is set to be a free agent. Zeitler was extremely productive for the Lions after signing a one-year deal last offseason. However, he’ll be 35 years old next season, and the Lions could elect to add younger depth to fill the void his departure would create. In his most recent mock draft for the NFL Network, analyst Daniel Jeremiah tabbed Ohio State offensive lineman Donovan Jackson for the Lions with the 28th overall pick. Jackson was a first-team All-American for…
Former Milan coach Fabio Capello disagreed with Zlatan Ibrahimovic, who said the second yellow card for Theo Hernandez was ‘harsh’: ‘He always dives, Zlatan.’ Milan were eliminated from the Champions League knockout playoff on Tuesday after a 1-1 home draw against Feyenoord, which gave the Dutch side a 2-1 aggregate victory. Rossoneri star Theo Hernandez was sent off in the second half, receiving a second yellow card for diving. Milan were 1-0 up but conceded the equaliser after the Frenchman’s sending-off. Red Bird Advisor Ibrahimovic said the team “lacked maturity” but added that referee Szymon Marciniak was ‘harsh’ in giving…
