The Golden State Warriors had arguably the most eventful offseason in the NBA. From Klay Thompson’s departure, to failed trades for Paul George and Lauri Markkanen, there was plenty going on behind the scenes. Credit where credit is due, Mike Dunleavy Jr. and the front office made an earnest attempt to improve the roster around Stephen Curry in the twilight of his career. Klay naturally commanded the majority of the headlines — he was a staple of perhaps our greatest dynasty, of course his exit made waves — but the Warriors quietly got better on the margins. De’Anthony Melton, Buddy…
The Dallas Mavericks had a really nice bounce-back season last year. Coming off a 38-win season where they missed the playoffs entirely, the Mavs drafted well, adding Derrick Lively II, and swung some win-now trades at the deadline to acquire PJ Washington and Daniel Gafford. The result was a surprise run all the way to the NBA Finals, and the Mavericks spent this summer building on that success. While I have my doubts about Klay Thompson’s fit alongside Luka Doncic and Kyrie Irving, as well as my doubts about Klay’s overall ability to produce at this stage of his career,…
The Los Angeles Lakers have a history of failing at previous attempts of blowing up the Dallas Mavericks roster. At 25 years old, Doncic is at the prime of his career. He arguably started his prime in his second season of action. Now, the Lakers have rumored to have a master plan to lure Doncic away from Dallas one day, and they have their eyes on him. The Lakers have known to embarrass themselves trying to lure away Mavs players. The Lakers are known to try and pull a fast one like this against the Mavericks. Kobe Bryant tried to lure in Dirk…
AC Milan’s Primavera side made it two wins from two to begin the new season as they scored a goal in each half to beat Torino 2-0 last night. After their 4-0 victory over Udinese, the Primavera beat Torino 2-0 on matchday 2 to remain top of the league on maximum points alongside Roma, Fiorentina and Lazio. Goals from Bakoune (13’) and Bonomi (an 87th-minute penalty) proved decisive for the Rossoneri. Guidi’s side opened the scoring early on and stood firm under pressure. At the PUMA House of Football, the Rossoneri kept their second consecutive clean sheet with a brilliant…
There are a number of reports claiming that Tammy Abraham could be on his way to AC Milan from AS Roma in an exchange deal involving Alexis Saelemaekers. Milan have been linked with a move from Abraham over the past month or so when it became clear he is no longer a part of Daniele De Rossi’s plans at Roma, and the idea of a swap deal quickly followed that. Things went quiet over the past few days, but according to Fabrizio Romano the talks are back on. He states that Milan and Roma will be in touch again in the next hours to…
Curry’s father, former NBA guard Dell Curry, is 6-foot-5. Dell pointed out his son’s height during a recent episode of their Audible podcast, “Heat Check with Stephen and Dell Curry.” “You were always the smallest, shortest, skinniest kid on all your teams, from 6 years old, 6th grade and all the way up, and I (attribute) that to your mother,” Dell said in the episode. Steph’s mother, Dell’s ex-wife, is 5-foot-3. Curry’s parents first met at Virginia Tech, where Dell played basketball and Sonya played volleyball. They got married in 1988 and had three children. However, the couple announced their divorce in 2021…
McLaren boss Zak Brown is convinced Lando Norris has a car capable of overturning Max Verstappen’s sizeable lead and can make a title fight out of the 2024 season. Norris beat Verstappen by a comfortable 22 seconds at the Dutch Grand Prix, a bigger winning margin than any of the Dutchman’s dominant victories at the start of the season. The result cut Verstappen’s lead to 70 points with nine races left and confirmed McLaren now should go into every round as a favourite to win. “That was a good day at the office,” Brown told SiriusXM. “An impressive performance by everybody. Lando was perfect,…
Both Kyrie Irving and Stephen Curry have had Hall of Fame careers. They’ve both raised the Larry O’Brien Trophy — doing so with plenty of battles against each other in the NBA Finals. Irving is an elite offensive talent, which he proved by helping Luka Doncic lead the Dallas Mavericks to the NBA Finals. On the other hand, Curry’s Golden State Warriors have struggled recently, and Klay Thompson even joined Irving’s Mavericks squad. While the debate about how close Curry and Irving are as players in terms of talent and accolades may not seem all that close, former NBA champion Nick Young recently made…
For starters, this is a trade Dallas may not agree to. The team could have difficulty giving up Jaden Hardy considering his potential and offensive firepower. The Mavs may be inclined to keep one of their young guards. Fans all know what Hardy is capable of, but A.J. Lawson has shown smaller flashes of his potential. He got to showcase his talents towards the end of the season. However, in this situation its preassumed the trade were to happen. If Dallas were to make this move it would give them one of the most dominant benches in the league. They…
Alvaro Morata has been defended by Luis de la Fuente as the Spain boss believes the “misunderstood” striker would be a “legend” in “another country”. The former Real Madrid star endured a challenging evening during Spain’s 3-3 draw against Brazil in a friendly match at Santiago Bernabeu, back in March. His frustration was palpable and when he was substituted in the 81st minute a portion of the fans in the stadium jeered as he left the field, expressing their displeasure at his inability to find the back of the net. Although Spain went on to win the European Championship in…
